Coating System Prequalification Tests

Technical prequalification of coating systems and application facilities before their approval for project.

Technical Evaluation of the Coating System

• Review of project technical specifications
• Validation of compliance of the proposed system vs specification
• Layer compatibility verification
• Performance evaluation according to service conditions
• Analysis of compliance with applicable standards (ISO 12944, NORSOK, etc.)

Attestation of Laboratory Tests

Attestation of Laboratory Tests

Typical tests:

• DSC
• Adherencia
