Paints and Coatings - Start to finish

Coating failures cost industries billions annually in repairs, downtime, and safety risks. At SOCOTEC, we understand that systematic testing at every project phase is critical to preventing failures and ensuring specification compliance.

In this webinar, our coatings experts will guide you through the complete testing lifecycle—from laboratory analysis through to failure investigation. We'll share industry best practices, demonstrate testing methodologies aligned with ISO, ASTM, NACE, and SSPC standards, and explain how comprehensive quality control protects all stakeholders.

Whether you're a coating specifier, quality professional, paint manufacturer,  or contractor, this session will provide actionable insights to enhance your project outcomes and prevent costly rework.

• Laboratory Analysis – Verification testing for coating materials before field application, including chemical composition, VOC compliance, and performance validation
• Pre-Application Testing – Critical substrate assessment, surface cleanliness verification (chloride/salt contamination), surface profile measurement, and environmental condition monitoring
• During-Application Testing – Real-time quality control including wet film thickness measurement, application parameter verification, and inter-coat inspection protocols
• Post-Application Testing – Final acceptance testing: dry film thickness measurement, holiday/discontinuity detection, adhesion testing, and cure verification
• Quality Control & Certification – Documentation requirements, traceability protocols, and the value of independent third-party verification
• Failure Analysis – Root cause investigation methodologies, common failure modes, and lessons learned from real project case studies
