Supporting you in the optimisation of your process
YOUR EXPECTATIONS
In order to reduce your production costs, comply with costumer specifications while at the same time adhering to health, safety and environmental standards, you would like to:
- determine the best surface treatment or coating process
- optimise your manufacturing parameters
- study the investment of a treatment line
- maintain or develop your skills
- characterise your coatings and treatments
- take into consideration substitution methods in connection with the Reach directive
You would like to develop new solutions
OUR SOLUTIONS
- Provide you with our expertise and test resources to support you in your optimisation approach
- Use our pilot line for the development of electrolytic coating processes to test your solutions
- Carry out measurements and specific analyses of the surfaces and in particular electrochemical measurements (polarisation curve, cyclic voltametrics, impedance measurement),
- Validate the solutions via corrosion resistance tests (salt spray, climatic cycling) and/or process simulation (Castor Elec 3D)
- Qualify the selected solutions
- Carry out an audit or a check of your industrial wet surface treatment line
- Train your operators in conducting baths
- Coordinate R&D projects and industrialisation innovative solutions (sol-gel, ionic liquids)
