Our expertise ranges from material surface characterisation to the development of novel surface coating solutions for diverse industries.
We offer scientific and industrial communities a wide range of tests that comply with international standards ISO, BS, EN and ASTM.
Advancement in surface technologies demands a thorough assessment of the formulation, quality and performance of coatings. This requires the use of specialised instrumentation by skilled researchers. We are committed to on-going training of our personnel enabling us to keep up with new technologies and assessment methods.
We have a wide range of specialised equipment available to us.
