Test performed:

  • Coating Thickness – To determine and monitor the coating thickness, applied on the steel for top and bottom side.
  • Specular Gloss Measurement – Gloss is associated with the capacity of a surface to reflect light in one direction compared to others.
  • Colour Test – Determines the deviation of the colour of the cured organic coating, from a standard sample.
  • Solvent Rubbing Test – Determines the extent of curing of the baked organic coat.
  • Impact Test – Determines the resistance to cracking of an organic coating on a metallic substrate.
  • Cupping Test – Determines the formability of the organic coating on a metallic substrate.
  • T-Bend Test – Evaluates the flexibility and adhesion to the metallic substrate of the organic coating.
  • Pencils Hardness Test – Determines the bond strength between the organic coating and the metallic substrate.
  • Cross Hatch Test – Determines the inner coat adhesion (Top coat to primer bond).
  • Scratch Test – Determines the resistance of an organic coating to penetration, by scratching with a needle.
  • Salt Spray Test – This is an accelerated corrosion test which simulates the field condition.
