Surface coatings characterization and analysis laboratory
Your needs: carry out the analysis and characterization of a product’s surface coatings following a failure or a regulatory change
What is a surface coating?
A coating is an organic or metallic protective layer designed to improve a product’s surface properties so they perform better against external constraints. A coating can therefore be used to preserve a product’s appearance, protect it from corrosion, wear, or temperature changes, or even improve its adhesive properties.
Surface coatings apply to several material families: polymers, metals, ceramics…
Why carry out an analysis or characterization of surface coatings?
The reliability of a material is linked to its surface properties. The origin of a failure such as a breakage, wear, or the appearance of a mark may be linked to the quality of the product’s coating. Coating analysis, characterization, and coating thickness measurement make it possible to determine the chemical composition of the layers present and study their compliance.
The support and guidance of an analysis laboratory with techniques specific to the study of surface coatings will help you gain efficiency and quality in the face of increasingly present environmental and regulatory constraints.
Our solutions: determine, using specific techniques, the origin of degradation on a product’s surface coating
