In many industries,
organic and metallic coatings are used to protect engineering
systems and structures. The life of these components is
frequently determined by the performance of the coating. |
| The CC
Technologies staff has extensive experience performing
coating evaluations for numerous applicatons including: |
| Aircraft Primers
and Coatings |
| Pipeline Primers,
Coatings, and Tapes |
| Coatings for Aluminum
Aerosol Cans (Interior and Exterior) |
| Coating Systems for
Flue Gas Desulfurization Outlet Ducts and Absorber Towers |
| Automotive Coatings |
| Structural Steel
Coatings and Fireproofing |
| Coatings for the
Food Industry |
| Coatings for Use
in Natural Waters |
| Conductive Coatings
for the Cathodic Protection Industry |
| Concrete Structures |
| Services
provided include ASTM standard tests, field exposures,
performance evaluations, and failure analysis. ASTM
standard tests routinely performed include: |
| ASTM B117 Salt Spray

| ASTM G85 (B2877)
Acetic Acid-Salt Spray Test |
| ASTM G8 Cathodic
Disbondment Test |
| ASTM G42 Cathodic
Disbonding of Pipeline Coatings at Elevated Temperatures
|
| ASTM D4587 Conducting
Tests on Paint and Related Coatings and Materials Using
a Fluorescent UV-Condensation Light-and Water-Exposure
Apparatus |
| ASTM D1654 Evaluation
of Painted or Coated Specimens Subjected to Corrosive
Environments |
| ASTM G19 Disbonding
Characteristics of Coatings by Direct Soil Burial |
| ASTM B368 Copper-Accelerated
Acetic Acid-Salt Spray Test (CASS Test) |
| ASTM B380 Corrosion
Testing of Decorative Electrodeposited Coatings by the
Corrodekote Procedure |
Other exposures include various controlled
temperature and humidity chambers, soils, and natural waters.
We also specialize in the use of Electrochemical
Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) for the evaluation of coating
performance.
