Advice on corrosion protection and coatings

We can help you protect metal components from corrosion. Electrogalvanising, piece galvanising, strip galvanising, Sendzimir galvanising, electroplated nickel plating, chemical nickel plating, powder coating, liquid paint coating and painting are terms that can be confusing to the layperson and make it difficult to select the appropriate corrosion protection system. Recommending the correct coating system for the specific application, drafting the technical specifications for tenders, or validating coatings that have already been applied are among our areas of expertise, which are sought after by more than 800 companies worldwide. In our institute’s own accredited laboratory, we carry out corrosion tests – such as the salt spray test and cyclic environmental testing – in accordance with a wide range of test standards for our clients in the oil industry, architecture, mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, the chemical industry and surface engineering.
