What is Finish Testing?
Finish testing refers to a number of testing procedures that are used to assess the final appearance, surface quality or overall finish of a product or material. These type of tests aim to analyse the coatings, platings or paints that have been applied to a sample, so we can evaluate their corrosion resistance and ability to act as a protective barrier to the material when used in real-life conditions. Our laboratory provides an extensive range of disciplines for testing which can help deliver the guidance and assurance needed to validate and develop your products with confidence.
Humidity Testing
Assess how your materials or products respond to elevated humidity levels.
Salt Spray Testing
Understand how well coatings and surface treatments can withstand corrosion.
Coating Finish Testing
Evaluate the quality, performance and characteristics of applied coatings on fastener or metal products.
