Testing Capabilities
Crosshatch Adhesion
(ASTM D 3359)
This test assesses the adhesion of film coatings to metallic substrates by applying and removing pressure-sensitive tape over cuts made in the film.
Humidity Cabinet
(ASTM D1748)
This test method is used for measuring the relative abilities of metal preservatives to prevent the rusting of steel panels under conditions of high humidity.
Gloss
(ASTM D 523)
Gloss is associated with the capacity of a surface to reflect more light in directions close to the specular than in others. Measurements by this test method correlate with visual observations of surface shininess made at roughly the corresponding angles.
Mandrel Bend
(ASTM D522)
These test methods have been useful in rating attached coatings for their ability to resist cracking when elongated. They have been useful in evaluating the flexibility of coatings.
Salt Fog Cabinet
(ASTM B117)
This practice provides a controlled corrosive environment which has been utilized to produce relative corrosion resistance information for specimens of metals and coated metals exposed in a given test chamber.
