During the course of our work, we sometimes need to determine the mode of failure for the system we are investigating. Combined with this is the necessity of developing the best approach for
coating (or recoating) the diverse surfaces we are presented with.

Our investigation can include microscopy, solvent testing,  hydraulic adhesion tests and accelerated weathering protocols to ASTM standards to determine the most efficacious approach to a particular project.  All these are documented through each phase to provide us with the most complete picture of the problem and the best solution.

On each of our projects, we maintain a log of ambient conditions and film thickness measurements. We use scientific instruments to document air temperature, surface temperature, relative humidity and dewpoint as well as making wet and dry film measurements of the coating films to ensure they applied in accordance with the manufacturers’ specifications.
