# Validation of surface treatment processes

## Do you want to validate the performance of your surface treatment processes...

First, it is important to understand why you need to validate your surface treatment processes. Indeed, whether you are in the context of developing a component, a product, etc., you want, on the one hand, to protect it or, on the other hand, to optimize it.

#### Surface treatment to protect

Product development involves many stages, including the ability to perform. Thus, to meet this final stage, protection through[surface treatment](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-surface-characterization/physical-surface-treatment-analysis-laboratory.md) of your product is essential.

#### Surface treatment to optimize

You are facing several failure issues with your [surface treatment](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/laboratory-surface-characterization/physical-surface-treatment-analysis-laboratory.md)… Thus, to understand why this treatment is failing, it is necessary to carry out a surface treatment analysis.

Moreover, if you already know the source of the problem and want to improve this surface treatment, FILAB can support you in validating new surface treatment processes for your products.

Finally, validating surface treatment processes allows you to continue developing your product and adapt your manufacturing process with complete peace of mind.

## FILAB laboratory's technical resources to validate your surface treatments

FILAB supports you in validating all types of surface treatment processes such as:

par traitement chimique

par grenaillage

par passivation

par anodisation

Our surface treatment analysis and characterization capabilities are also extensive, depending on the nature of the treatment:

Microscope Electronique à Balayge ([MEB-FEG EDX](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-sem-scanning-electron-microscopy.md)) : analyse chimique, morphologique, contrôle d'épaisseur, homogénéité

Analyse par AFM

Analyse [TOF-SIMS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-tof-sims.md), [XPS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-xps-esca.md) pour les examens d'extrême surface 

Analyse IRTF
