Norner offers qualification testing of protective coatings as well as testing of pipe coating, tank coating and other industrial coatings

Industrial Impact

Today’s wide range of products and materials involves a broad range of requirements.

Failures due to poor material selection are common in the coating industry and can be related to lack of awareness and understanding of properties and the influence of natural elements. We support customers with their required testing. Several businesses increasingly involves operations in severe environmental conditions. These environmental challenges introduces higher demands to the quality of coatings products.

Norner has the competence, equipment and resources to provide material and product testing according to international standards and a wide range of special tests. Our modern laboratory support customers directly with required tests.
