First of all, resolving an appearance defect may involve several types of issues. Indeed, an appearance defect may be caused by a colour change or a surface condition problem.
Appearance defects can occur on all types of matrices: textiles, food products, cosmetics, metal parts, etc.
A product’s colour may change following a change in environmental parameters: temperature, pH, etc. A change in product colour may also be triggered by the occurrence of pollution, which may involve mechanisms of particulate contamination or oxidation. More generally, corrosion is a colour-change phenomenon indicating the deterioration of a material.
Indeed, a material’s surface is a vulnerable area where numerous interactions with its environment take place. Consequently, the surface condition determines the material’s performance. Wear, corrosion, adhesion, and other phenomena result from the physicochemical properties of surfaces and interfaces, and can affect its reliability, stability and strength over both the short and long term.
Thus, resolving an appearance problem involves studying the appearance parameters themselves, but also requires understanding what this problem reveals about the product itself (an indication of corrosion, wear, contamination, incorrect chemical composition, etc.). Only a laboratory equipped with a cutting-edge analytical facility and R&D capabilities can apply the expertise required to resolve an appearance problem.
