Coatings testing

Coating systems add value to engineering products such as pipelines, bridges, steel structures and components by extending life and promoting integrity. However, it is important to demonstrate the efficacy of application and the reliability of the coating system in respect of longevity and performance. MIS Testing can assist in the selection of appropriate coating systems, in assessing the soundness of application and in evaluating the physical, chemical and environmental performance of the systems.
