COATING MATERIAL // LIQUID PAINT SAMPLE TESTING

Liquid or cured?

Liquid coating material

Paint as a product: incoming inspection, in-process qualification, formulation comparison.

  • Density, solids content, ash
  • Viscosity and flow behaviour
  • Processing and application tests
  • Drying and curing tests

Cured coating

Coating as protection: performance, durability, appearance and root-cause analysis.

  • Adhesion, hardness, mechanical resistance
  • Salt spray and salt fog testing, condensation, weathering
  • Colour, gloss, chalking
  • Film thickness and surface preparation
