Coatings Testing Laboratory Denver Colorado USA

A Coatings Testing Laboratory provides testing services for analyzing paints, corrosion and surface coating materials. The range of testing services provided by this laboratory includes chemical composition and physical properties of coatings.

Testing Services

• A Coatings Testing Laboratory conducts accurate analyses of coating problems and helps the industries to improve the performance characteristics of protective coatings and abrasive materials.
• The laboratory provides forensic evaluations of coating system failure investigations.
• Part of their Environment, Health & Safety Services include analysis of paint chip, soil and ambient air samples for lead and other toxic metals associated with painting projects.

Accelerated Weathering and Corrosion Testing

• Abrasive Testing
• Paint (Coatings) Performance Testing
• Miscellaneous Coatings Testing

Analytical Instruments
A Coatings testing laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and isntruments. The laboratory professionals are well trained to handle the various advanced analytical instruments.

Coating Failure Analysis
A detailed analysis of a coating failure is important to decide the necessary corrective actions for avoiding repetitive coating problems. Based on the circumstances under which the coating failure has occurred, suitable analytical techniques are adopted to confirm the causes of the failure.

Coatings Performance Testing
Physical testing division of Coatings Testing Laboratory conducts performance testing on coatings with reference to their abrasive resistance. The analysis results of performance testing pertaining to various types of coatings are compiled for development of Qualified Products Lists (QPL). A particular type of coating has to surpass preset quality performance standard to qualify for the inclusion in the QPL. This process allows producers to obtain competitive pricing for coating materials without compromising quality since all of the coating materials in the QPL have been tested and “pre-approved” for use.

Miscellaneous Coatings Testing
Various miscellaneous coatings testing which have less significance like appearance tests, hardness testing, resistance to chipping and free film testing are also carried out in the Coatings testing Laboratory.
