REPUTATION OVER PROFIT
Surface Prep Inspection
Surface Prep Inspection
Surface Prep Inspection
With vast experience & referencing such standards as SSPC VIS-1 we can ensure your surface prep conforms to such standards as SSPC SP-5 White metal blast or SP-11 Power tool cleaning.
Soluble Salt Testing
Surface Prep Inspection
Surface Prep Inspection
Using newest technologies & following guides such as SSPC guide 15, we can test for hidden contaminates, ie. soluble salts such as Chlorides, Sulphides & Nitrates to prevent corrosion & Osmotic blistering.
Holiday Testing
Surface Prep Inspection
Adhesion Testing
Holiday detection provides the means of detecting pinholes, flaws, discontinuities or holidays in a coating system that may result in its premature failure. Using the most up to date standards including NACE SP-0188 & SP-0274 & the newest technology we can increase the life expectancy of your assets.
Adhesion Testing
Adhesion Testing
Adhesion Testing
Using portable pull off adhesion testers or methods such as the X-Cut adhesion test, we can ascertain whether your coating will perform as the coating manufacturer intended or if a previous coating has surpassed its lifespan. Referencing such standards as ASTM D4541.
Cure Testing
Adhesion Testing
Cure Testing
Using technologies such as digital durometers we can determine whether an applied coating has reached final & proper cure. Situations such as cold weather, improper mixing, improper application and bad coating batches can have negative impacts on coating cure.
Ambient Environmental Monitoring
Utilizing advanced Dew Point Meters and Data loggers we have the ability to remotely and digitally monitor Ambient and Substrate temperatures, Relative Humidity and Dew point. Freezing temps and high humidity can have catastrophic effects on a coatings during application. Sometimes even low humidity and high temperatures can have negative effects.
Dry Film Thickness Testing
Using Advanced DFT gages & standards such as SSPC PA-2 or ISO 19840 ,we can ensure Coatings systems are at appropriate dry film thickness to optimize long term performance.
