Scope and Methodology
The scope of our nano additives in paints and coatings testing encompasses a wide range of parameters, ensuring thorough evaluation and validation of the materials used. We begin with initial characterization, which includes assessing particle size distribution, shape, and surface chemistry using techniques like SEM, AFM, and DLS.
Once characterized, we proceed to evaluate mechanical properties such as hardness, scratch resistance, and adhesion strength through specific tests aligned with international standards. Tribological testing is conducted to determine the friction coefficients and wear resistance of nano additives in paints and coatings.
To ensure environmental responsibility, biodegradability studies are performed according to relevant guidelines, while ecotoxicity assessments are carried out to identify any potential risks associated with the use of these materials. These tests are crucial for understanding the impact on ecosystems and public health.
The methodology we employ is designed to be robust and comprehensive, ensuring that every aspect of nano additives in paints and coatings receives adequate attention. This includes not only laboratory-based testing but also field trials where applicable, providing real-world insights into product performance.
By adhering strictly to international standards such as ISO 13928 for hardness testing and ASTM D4000 for general purpose plastics, we ensure that our results are consistent with industry benchmarks. This approach not only enhances credibility but also facilitates seamless integration of tested materials into existing formulations.
