Adhesion testing is a good way to see how well paints and coatings stick to a surface. Inability to stay intact and adhere to the surface might lead to severe technical risks as well as financial losses. Adhesion is a physical property of applied paint and protective coatings that permits critical elements to function even in harsh operating conditions.
Methods:
Scrape Adhesion Test
Pull-off test
