With respect to our quality assurance « Q-rise » and in order to meet market standards, Polyrise has at its disposal means for the physico-chemical analysis of its varnishes as well as equipments for the characterization of coatings (optical, mechanical, ageing characterizations).

Goniometer

The goniometer allows for the determination of surface energies of coatings. From the measured value of the contact angle, it is possible to assess their hydrophobic and oleophobic features.[/one_fourth]

Circular abrasimeter

Measurement of the resistance to abrasion (standard ASTM D 1044).

Linear  abrasimeter

Measurement of the resistance to abrasion (standard ASTM F735).

Cross Hatch

The cross hatch test allows for the assessment of the adhesion of coatings to substrates.
