Abrasion Resistance Test: This test helps in determining the ability of a coating to resist degradation due to mechanical wear and tear by hard and rough objects. Abrasion resistance can be intensified by the inclusion of surface changing additives. Adhesion: Adhesion testing in the paint and coating industries is necessary to ensure the paint or coating will adhere properly to the surface to which they are applied Test Method: IS: 101 (P-5) (SEC-2)1988 Alkali Resistance of Paint: This test helps in determining the degree to which a paint resists reaction with alkaline materials such as lime, cement, plaster, soap, etc. This is an important property for paints applied in bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. Test Method: IS: 427-2005, IS: 428-2006 Cass Test: This test helps in determining the corrosive performance of decorative copper/nickel/chromium or nickel/chromium coatings on steel, zinc alloys, aluminium alloys, and plastics designed for severe service and testing of anodized aluminium. Chemical Resistance Test: This test helps in determining the ability of a coat to resist chemical deterioration or staining. Test Method: IS: 13630 (P-8) 2006, EN 105-106 Chip Resistance: This test helps in determining the resistance of surface coatings (paint, clear coats, metallic plating, etc.) to chipping caused by the impacts of gravel or other flying objects. Test Method: Coating Hardness Test: This test helps in determining the hardness of the paint coat. Test Method: IS: 101 (P-5) (SEC-1)1988 Coating Surface Roughness /Profile: The proper and effective preparation of a surface prior to coating makes sure that the correct roughness or profile is generated. The adhesion to the coating of the surface can be reduced if the profile is too low. If the profile is too high, there is the danger that the profile peaks will remain uncoated.

Spectro Research and Lab Ventures (P) Ltd. is self-sufficient in conducting various tests on coatings and paints, to assess their performance and durability. Some of the important tests include coating thickness, adhesion test, resistance against scratching, impact of water, salt spray testing, hardness, and drying time etc.

Paints, varnishes & coating materials has widespread applications in automobile industries, building, electrical & electronic components, infrastructural units, industrial equipments & military warfare’s as anticorrosion property & aesthetic requirements. Application of paints on metals, wood & cementious materials prolongs their service life to very high extend. In order to understand the protection properties & anti-corrosion properties, the paints are required to be tested critically. Accelerated testing to ensure prolonged shelf life has to be carried out on paints & surface coatings. In this direction protection against corrosion test, salts spray test & weather metric evaluation are very important. To understand application properties of the paints & evaluation of paint films adhesion test, drying time, gloss test, impact test, resistance to liquid has their own importance.

Spectro analytical labs ltd. Is very much competent to conduct standardized and customized tests on various types of paints & coatings, aided by its well trained staff and the latest equipments at its disposal.
