A critical step for optimized coatings
With cutting-edge analysis tools and privileged access to UNamur’s equipment, we ensure precise control of every coating to verify adhesion, resistance, and uniformity. Our characterization methods help prevent potential failures, optimize coating formulations, and ensure perfect reproducibility across production batches. We also offer these analyses as a standalone service, enabling our clients to validate the quality of their own coatings and fine-tune their deposition processes.
A complete approach for reliable validation
We employ advanced characterization techniques to accurately measure the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of coatings. These analyses confirm the coating’s compliance with strict technical standards, and allow us to fine-tune parameters before full-scale industrialization. Our expertise enables us to optimize coating performance, identify improvement opportunities, and ensure complete reliability under real-world operating conditions.
