Chemical Resistance
The salt spray test is a notable gauge of material resistance, particularly if the material will be used outdoors and must perform in a mechanical load bearing or otherwise critical role.
These results are often of great interest to the marine industries, whose products may suffer extreme acceleration of corrosion and subsequent failure due to the salt water environment.
There is an increasing need for salt spray test and other environmental testing being conducted in specialized corrosion test labs across the globe by some of the biggest names in manufacturing today.
