The testing apparatus used accelerates the corrosion of materials through the creation of a hostile environment within the test chamber.\u00a0 It achieves this by atomising saltwater into a mist.<\/p>\n<p>The corrosive attack on coated samples is timed and periodically checked. Coatings offering better corrosion resistance will be expected to last longer before showing signs of deterioration and rust.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Salt Spray Testing<\/h3>\n<p>Typically for Aluminium coating including for Qualicoat approval a series of dip-tanks for pre-treatment. It will include a combination of caustic\/acid etch, towns rinse, Demin rinses and non-chrome treatment.<\/p>\n<p>For contract <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tdfinishing.co.uk\/conveyorised-powder-coating-systems\/\">powder coating<\/a> and OEM manufacturers of mild steel components, there is an increasing trend of non-chrome conversion coatings utilising a multi-stage spray system with a series of cleaner, conversion coating and Demin rinses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What are the Benefits of Salt Spray Testing?<\/h3>\n<p>Salt spray testing is reliable, quick, repeatable and very well standardised. It makes it a popular benchmark for the testing of corrosion resistance of coatings.\u00a0 Although it&#8217;s not a perfect representation of real-life corrosive environments. It also does not account for U.V, degradation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tdfinishing.co.uk\/powder-coating-systems\">powder coatings<\/a> for example.<\/p>\n<p>It is however long-established and quick. This means it can be used to predict corrosion resistance. Not only this, but to ensure continued quality control of a pre-treatment and coating process.<\/p>\n<p>Shorter tests can be carried out during production to ensure each batch has been treated correctly and the complete finishing system is working as designed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>More Details\u00a0<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>If you would like more details on how\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tdfinishing.co.uk\/\">TD Finishing<\/a>\u00a0can provide your process line better results, increased productivity and increase your profitability,\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0guarantee a more premium finish.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tdfinishing.co.uk\/contact-us\">Contact us<\/a>\u00a0for to arrange a consultation, call us on \u2013\u00a0<strong>0121 520 8884<\/strong>\u00a0or email us at \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:info@tdfinishing.co.uk\">info@tdfinishing.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where required TD Finishing can advise on and provide equipment for powder coating products that are required to withstand up to 1,000-hour salt spray testing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":815,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29,17],"tags":[71,131,132,133,100],"class_list":["post-837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogs","category-powder-coating-systems","tag-powder-coating-plant-manufacturers","tag-powder-coating-product-testing","tag-qualicoat","tag-salt-spray-testing","tag-td-finishing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Salt spray testing - Results from TD Finishing Systems | TD Finishing Ltd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Salt Spray Testing - We are experts in Paint and Powder Coating Systems.
