Powder Coating Under the Microscope

The quality and remaining service life of powder coatings?

As specialists in coating systems for the protection of steel, concrete, and other materials, we at Bjond Innovation understand the importance of thorough testing and conducting field research. In this article, we want to emphasize the importance of these processes in determining the quality and remaining service life of powder coating and in avoiding damage.

Why is testing important?

Testing plays a crucial role in determining the durability and performance of powder coating. Through laboratory tests, we can assess the quality of the coating and ensure that it meets the required specifications and standards. Among other things, we test the adhesion, thickness, and corrosion resistance of the coating. For this, we collaborate with specialized laboratories such as M2Lab.

The importance of field research

In addition to laboratory tests, field research is essential to understand the actual conditions and loads to which the coating is exposed. By taking samples of the coating on-site, we can assess the degree of aging, degradation, and damage. This enables us to predict the remaining service life of the coating and determine the necessary repairs or maintenance measures. We also use innovative advanced non-destructive measurement methods such as EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy), electron microscopy, and chemical analysis techniques (DSC, FTIR).
