Coating and Paint Adhesion Testing

Adhesion testing is a valuable indicator for determining how well paints and coatings are bonded to the substrate on which they are applied. Failure to remain intact and adherent to the substrate can result in serious operation issues with economic losses. At Element, we can help you assess the integrity of your single and multi-coat paint and coating systems to ensure that they withstand the characteristics of their immediate surroundings.

Adhesion is an essential physical property of applied paint and protective coatings allowing critical assets to perform when exposed to harsh operating conditions. 

With experience that spans so many industries, from Transportation to Industrials, our Engaged Experts are focused on providing adhesion testing services that meet your diverse needs. 

We carry out adhesion testing of paints and plastic coatings to help you meet the requirements of ASTM and manufacturer specifications or to evaluate the performance of coatings that have been in service for extended periods of time and may require maintenance. We also use adhesion testing during coating failure investigations to understand how a coating has failed, and provide you with the insight you need to develop a corrective action plan and prevent future failures. 

As your trusted testing partner, the accuracy and precision of our test results make certain that the materials you are utilizing in your projects fulfill their function of protecting the substrate by adequately adhering to it, no matter what environmental conditions they are exposed to.
