Detection of different chemical binders in coatings
Posted onOrganic coatings protect metallic structures of significant commercial value. Regular inspections of coatings are required to ensure their integrity and, therefore, to verify their stated performance. However, for metallic structures located in harsh places, coating inspection can pose significant safety and logistical challenges. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a rapid, nondestructive and relatively inexpensive analytical technique. […]
