Salt Spray Testing and Coating Selection
Salt spray testing can compare coating performance under a defined laboratory method. It should be read together with the service environment, coating system and acceptance criteria.
Points to confirm
- State the applicable test standard, duration and evaluation method.
- Match the coating to exposure, temperature, assembly and maintenance conditions.
- Confirm coating thickness, lot records and any required inspection report.
For sourcing
Provide the fastener grade, finish, application environment and required documents. Test scope and acceptance criteria should be agreed before order confirmation.
