“Our coatings testing laboratories offer everything from laboratory testing to engineering support for research and development”

Wide range of tests on paints, coatings and varnishes to guarantee product reliability and ensure its useful life

We offer a wide range of tests on paints, coatings and varnishes to guarantee product reliability and ensure its useful life. Its integral service in Quality Control and Performance Assessment focuses on physical-chemical, mechanical and durability tests, optical characteristics, identification tests, fire performance tests and biological tests.

Our laboratories are highly qualified and accredited by ENAC for the coatings sector under file No. 4/LE024. We carry out tests in our laboratories to ensure that paints, coatings and varnishes meet quality standards.

Characterisation and assessment testing of paints and coatings is crucial to ensure that products meet the requirements for use in different applications. For example, fire performance tests are mandatory for fire safety requirements, while biological tests are a prerequisite for products to be used in healthcare environments.

Assure the quality of your coatings in an accredited laboratory

At TECNALIA, we can also help manufacturers characterise the new formulations developed in order to guarantee their quality. We can help you with a wide range of projects; compliance testing, quality control, durability, material selection and technical guidance, among others.

We solve coating challenges by replicating laboratory-scale accelerated artificial weathering that can simulate external atmospheric conditions to ensure greater durability and weather resistance, which means that painted or coated surfaces will have longer service lifetimes.
