Finish Testing
BES Group is a UKAS accredited metallurgical testing laboratory to ISO/IEC 17025 and is fully equipped to meet your specific needs and requirements for finish testing. 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.
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.
We also offer accelerated corrosion tests to analyse the performance of materials when subjected to harsh environmental conditions, such as saltwater, marine or corrosive atmospheres.
Finish testing aims to provide clients with accurate comparative data to show the capability of different products and to demonstrate which of those products gives the best performance.
The combination of both salt spray testing and finish testing can be beneficial in assessing the corrosion resistance of a finished product, and is especially crucial for automotive, aerospace or marine industries. Finish testing ensures that not only the surface appearance but also the protective coatings or finish meet quality standards when exposed to harsh environments.
