Analysis of blister formation in coatings
Defects in coatings may appear as blisters. These can be classified as:
Small air-entrapped blisters within the coating
Blistering caused by adhesion failure
Liquid-filled blisters within or beneath the coating (osmotic blistering)

Are you a manufacturer of materials, an expert, an owner, or an applicator? Then you should get in touch with us.
In the case of possible blistering in coatings on your building or similar structures, we can investigate the causes through expert laboratory analyses and provide the necessary reports. In our laboratory, we offer the following examinations:
- Microscopic analysis of samples
- Analytical testing such as gas chromatography
- Thin-layer chromatography
- Energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis
- Infrared spectroscopy
The investigation begins with an on-site visual inspection of the blisters. Samples (such as core samples, blister fluids, etc.) are then taken and analyzed in our laboratory.
We prepare a detailed test report as well as an expert opinion or formal assessment report.
