Common Failures Detected Through Paints and Coatings Testing
Paints and Coatings Testing plays a vital role in identifying performance issues before products reach the market or are applied to critical surfaces. Coatings are expected to protect materials from corrosion, chemicals, moisture, and wear while maintaining visual appeal. However, without proper testing, defects may go unnoticed until failure occurs in real-world conditions. These failures can result in structural damage, product recalls, safety risks, and costly rework. Testing laboratories evaluate paints and coatings under controlled conditions to simulate environmental, mechanical, and chemical stresses. Through standardized testing methods, manufacturers can detect weaknesses early and improve formulations, application processes, and material selection. This article explores the most common failures detected through Paints and Coatings Testing and why addressing them is essential for long-term performance and compliance. 1.
