We have a fully equipped and staffed laboratory for the monitoring and control of process solutions and waste stream.

We measure and test the performance of our coatings using a variety of different techniques, including;

• Coating weight/surface density using the strip and weigh method.
• Plating and anodising thickness, non-destructive thickness checking using X ray fluorescence, eddy current and electromagnetic thickness measuring equipment.
• Plating alloy composition using X ray fluorescence.
• Anodising sealing.
• Adhesion.
• Corrosion resistance, salt spray testing.
• Abrasion resistance.
• Hardness.
• Hydrogen embrittlement testing.
• Thickness verification by micro section.

For specialised testing services we use NAMAS and NADCAP approved laboratories.
