LABORATORY AND FIELD TESTING OF PROTECTIVE
COATINGS DURABILITY


SUMMARY
The testing programme of the Coatings and Paints Testing Laboratory and the Organic Coatings Depart-ment of the Institute of Precision Mechanics in the range of investigations of materials and protective coatings durability is presented. The Laboratory has obtained the certificate of accreditation No AB 240 delivered by Polish Centre of Accreditation for the full range of tests of mechanical and anticorrosive proprieties of metallic and non-metallic coatings. Simultaneously the Organic Coatings Department offers the assessment works of durability
of anticorrosion protective coatings in natural risk of atmospheric conditions of various character and intensity. The corrosion stations with monitored atmosphere corrosivity conditions working according to the international standards are located on the whole territory of Poland. We offer also a co-operation in all kinds of programme activities in the range of forecasting of economic and material results of corrosion
and corrosion prevention, project studies or economic prognoses concerning selected object or areas for enterprises operated in corrosion protection sector as well as for administration offices.

Key words
Corrosion, laboratory testing, protective coatings, corrosion monitoring.
