In the field of mechanical-technological tests we offer the following services:

Erichsen cupping in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1520
Testing the mechanical resistance of a coating under gradual deformation. Also provides information about cross-linking.

Impact resistance test in accordance with ISO 6272-2
Testing the mechanical resistance of a coating under rapid deformation. Also provides information about cross-linking.

Cross-cut test in accordance with DIN EN ISO 2409
Adhesion test with cuts 1–3 mm apart, depending on the coating thickness and structure. Cost-effective test of the adhesion of the coating to the substrate and the quality of the pre-treatment.

Mandrel bend test in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1519
Deformation of the substrate by bending it around a mandrel with a pre-defined diameter to test the adhesion of the coating to the substrate and the elasticity of the coating film.

Sawing, drilling and milling in accordance with GSB and Qualicoat guidelines
Cutting with normal tools to test the suitability of the coating for subsequent machining.

Martindale abrasion test based on ISO 12947-1
The Martindale test simulates natural wear using a range of scrub materials and determines the resistance of the coating to abrasion and scratching (comparative test).

Erichsen wet-scrub resistance test based on DIN EN ISO 11998
Abrasion test using a specified weight and a scrub pad with a reciprocal movement to evaluate the resistance of the coating to washing and scrubbing (comparative test).

Abrasion test with a Crockmeter based on ISO 12947-1
Abrasion test using a specified weight and a scrub pad with a reciprocal movement to evaluate the resistance of the coating to washing and scrubbing (comparative test).

Taber Abraser test based on ISO 9352
Using the Taber Abraser it is possible to test the resistance of a wide range of materials to abrasive wear. Two abrasive wheels are pressed onto the rotating sample with a predefined force to produce the abrasion.
