PAINTS AND COATINGS

Paints and coatings are used as protection and/or decoration of the element on which they are applied, and that depending on their physical and chemical properties can bring different types of properties to the materials.

ENSATEC is a member of ASEFAPI (Spanish Association of Paint Manufacturers and Printing Inks).

ENSATEC laboratories design the necessary test battery to fully characterize the range of paints and coatings, allowing you to optimize the properties and performance of them.

REACTION TO FIRE TESTS

• Non-combustibility test.
• Single Burning Item Test (SBI)
• Determination of the gross heat of combustion.
• Ignitability Test (single flame).
• Radiant Panel Test.
• Fire classification of construction products (EUROCLASES).

CLIMATE TESTS

• Corrosion with salt spray.
• Cyclic corrosion.
• Moisture resistance. Water condensation atmosphere.
• Accelerated artificial aging with UV and Xenon arc radiation.
• Climatic aging under constant or cyclical humidity and temperature conditions.
• Behaviour between different climates.

MECHANICAL AND PHYSICAL TESTS

• Abrasion resistance
• Adherence: Tensile test, Cross-cut test, fixing elements
• Impact, Bend, Cupping
• Density, viscosity and thickness
