Why Corrosion & Coating Testing Matters
Preventing Predictable Failure, Protecting Assets
Corrosion and coating failure are predictable. The question is not whether degradation will occur, but when—and at what cost.
Failure in service leads to high remediation costs, compliance violations, and operational risk. For engineering teams, the consequence of untested materials extends beyond repair—it affects project timelines, regulatory standing, and long-term asset reliability.
Testing validates durability before approval and exposure. It provides the evidence required to approve materials, qualify suppliers, and defend decisions under scrutiny.
Testing Scope Overview
Comprehensive Scope for Material Evaluation
Corrosion Tests
Corrosion susceptibility of materials under accelerated and controlled environments
Paints & Surface Coating Tests
Performance and durability of protective coatings under exposure conditions
This scope evaluates corrosion susceptibility of materials, performance and durability of protective coatings, and behaviour under controlled and accelerated environments.
