Testing of Paint Coatings
Laboratory assessment of protective and decorative coatings for metal, concrete and building structures — with official test reports.
About the service
Paint coatings do more than serve a decorative function — they protect the structure from corrosion, moisture, ultraviolet radiation, chemical exposure and mechanical wear.
Coating quality determines the service life of steel structures, concrete elements, engineering assemblies and façade systems. Errors in material selection or breaches of application procedure lead to premature coating failure, blistering, delamination, corrosion and a reduced load-bearing capacity of the structures.
Our laboratory tests paint coatings at every stage: from verifying material compliance to inspecting coatings already applied on site. We analyse adhesion, resistance, thickness, structure and durability of the coating, and assess whether the substrate preparation and application procedure were correctly followed.
The results are issued as official test reports recognised by technical supervision and regulatory authorities.
Why it matters
Testing makes it possible to:
- 01confirm that the coating meets GOST requirements and design standards
- 02assess the material's protective properties and resistance to external exposure
- 03eliminate the risk of corrosion and premature structural failure
- 04identify breaches of application procedure — from poor substrate preparation to incorrect coating thickness
- 05monitor the quality of the contractor's work
- 06obtain documented confirmation of coating quality before the facility enters service
Testing paint coatings is mandatory in the construction of industrial facilities, bridges, steel structures, tanks, engineering systems and façades.
Testing stages
- 01
Receiving the brief
We determine the coating type, substrate material and the scope of testing required.
- 02
Sampling or surveying the coating on site
We take samples, assess the applied layer, and record the conditions and surface condition.
- 03
Preparing specimens for investigation
We cut, label, clean and prepare the surface in accordance with the methods.
- 04
Laboratory assessment of the coating
We measure and analyse the key properties affecting the durability and protective performance of the coating.
- 05
Comparing the results with the standards
We compare the data with the design documentation and GOST requirements.
- 06
Issuing the test report
We issue an official document with the results, conclusions and, if defects are found, recommendations for their remedy.
