Laboratory Testing & Failure Investigation

EQM specialises in the investigation of on-site coating and flooring failures such as adhesion testing, pores in the coating, viscosity and specific gravity and surface preparation.

In addition to our on-site failure investigation services, EQM can supplement our investigation with additional laboratory testing and analysis of paint and flooring systems.

These laboratory tests/analysis include:

  • Measurement of each individual layer of paint

  • Paint formulation analysis

  • Lead content

  • Slip resistance

  • Viscosity

  • Adhesion resistance

  • Hardness testing

  • Anti-static properties

  • Moisture content

  • Colour fastness

  • Weathering Tests
