Pre-treatment and application

A coating system only performs optimally if the pre-treatment and application have been carried out correctly in the prescribed manner.

In this regard, the Nebest COT laboratory regularly conducts research into, among other things:

Surface cleanliness (visual according to ISO 8501 and ISO 8502 and, for example, measuring chloride content using the Bresle test)
Surface roughness (ISO 8503; Ra and Rz values, Testex tape, roughness comparator)
Characterization of blasting abrasives (ISO 11127; particle size distribution, moisture content, conductivity, soluble salts, bulk density)
Effect of pre-treatment
Chloride content in concrete
Moisture content
Mixing ratio
Overspray
Drying times
Pot life (ISO 9514)
Consumption
Streaking
Shriveling
Orange peel effect
Sagging

The Nebest COT laboratory has its own facility to carry out these investigations, which includes brush and roller application capabilities.
