Paints and Coatings
Defect Analysis of
Paint
Coatings are of increasing importance for many industrial
products for reasons of decoration as well as stability.
There is a technological challenge caused by various
substrates used (e.g. metals, glass, polymers), different
classes of material are applied as coatings, and because
many products are reshaped after the coating step.
Crater formation and adhesion problems are therefore among
the most common analysis requests.
