Coating tests

With regard to coating testing METALogic offers several atmospheric corrosion tests, immersion tests and electrochemical tests. Whether it is about testing of the coating quality or comparison of different coating types for a certain application, we find the right test for your application.

Exposure tests

EIS coating measurements

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy or EIS is a technique to measure the general barrier properties of coatings. More specifically water and ion permeability of coatings can be determined as a [...]

Climate tests

METALogic offers a lot of possibilities to test the effects of climate and light on the behaviour of coatings (and metals). By variation in temperature and %RH, by simulating the effects of acid [...]

(Cyclic) salt spray tests

Traditionally coatings are tested by subjecting them to an aggressive environment. This is for example the case in the neutral salt spray test (ISO 9227 NSS or ASTM B117). In this test coatings [...]

Evaluation of coatings

Evaluation of coatings is done primarily by means of visual evaluation. The condition of the coating is evaluated by assessing blistering, rust formation of the substrate, creepback at an [...]
