Paints & Coatings
Protection and resistance
Protective coatings must withstand corrosion, chemical exposure, moisture and demanding environmental conditions throughout their service life. Demonstrating resistance requires reliable testing and consistent assessment across diverse operating environments. Labman automates exposure, testing and evaluation workflows to improve repeatability, increase laboratory productivity and generate robust performance data. Our bespoke systems are tailored to your materials, test methods and research objectives.Labman expertise
Enabling your workflow
Bring the precision, speed and safety of protection and resistance to your laboratory.Corrosion testingAutomate workflows for evaluating coating resistance to corrosion under defined exposure conditions. Standardised sample handling, controlled test procedures and repeatable assessment support comparative analysis of protective performance, helping researchers investigate coating degradation, identify failure mechanisms and optimise corrosion protection.
Chemical resistanceEvaluate coating durability when exposed to chemicals relevant to intended operating environments. Automate sample preparation, exposure workflows and subsequent assessment to improve consistency, compare formulations and investigate changes in coating appearance, integrity and protective properties under defined chemical conditions.
Water and moisture resistanceInvestigate how coatings respond to water, humidity and moisture exposure through repeatable testing workflows. Consistent sample handling and controlled exposure support the evaluation of blistering, adhesion loss and other moisture-related changes, helping researchers compare protective performance and optimise formulation durability.
Stain and contamination resistanceStandardise stain and contamination testing to evaluate how coatings withstand contact with common contaminants and challenging substances. Automated application, exposure and assessment workflows improve repeatability, enabling objective comparisons of stain resistance, cleanability and surface appearance across formulations.
Outdoor exposure and protective performanceSupport the assessment of coatings exposed to outdoor conditions and environmental stressors. Integrate sample handling, exposure protocols and post-exposure evaluation to investigate degradation, identify changes in protective performance and compare formulations under defined environmental conditions.
