Paints and Coatings, Performance Coatings and Domestic Products

Many of today’s coatings are complex multi-component formulations, designed for decorative, protective and functional applications.

Issues such as contamination, stains, migration of species, delaminations and disbondments can all cause failures, understanding the cause of the failure is the only way to correct the problem. Whilst ensuring the correct composition and thickness of each coating component is essential to ensuring quality.

On-going research and development of coatings is being undertaken in a vast array of industries to perform many different functions such as to inhibit corrosion and wear, reduce friction and promote surface adhesion as well as decorative purposes.
