Salt Spray and Cyclic Tests
Traditionally coatings are tested by subjecting them to an aggressive environment. This is for example the case in the neutral salt spray test (ISO 9227 NSS or ASTM B117). In this test coatings are exposed to an environment with a temperature of 35°C and a continuous salt spray. There is however a tendency towards cyclic salt spray tests that trigger similar degradation mechanisms as in reality.
Testing facilities and Support
TÜV AUSTRIA Belgium has several test cabinets in which a broad range of salt spray tests and cyclic tests can be performed. Choosing the right test for your application is crucial and not always straightforward. We can assist you to choose the most appropriate test and to set up the right testing parameters.
