Coating Quality Measurement

The Coating Quality Measurement (CQM) is a robust handheld sensor designed to qualify existing coatings according to ISO16773-2 by utilizing Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS), a quantitative and non-destructive technique that allows for highly sensitive in situ evaluations. By leveraging EIS to analyze the barrier properties of visually intact coatings without damaging the surface, the CQM provides a comprehensive assessment of coating degradation over time and detects the presence of corrosion beneath the surface. This sophisticated approach enables the device to offer critical predictive insights, forecasting both the exact timeframe for when corrosion will initiate and the projected percentage of visible corrosion that will develop as the material ages.
