Salt spray tests are fundamental standardized tests for evaluating the corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings. By exposing products to simulated corrosion conditions, it is possible to analyze the behavior of components in aggressive environments, allowing manufacturers to identify potential critical issues and significantly improve the durability and quality of their products.
INTEK S.p.A., an independent testing and measurement laboratory founded in 1994, operates as a qualified technical partner for technical and regulatory validation based on reliable, traceable measurements. Headquartered in Rezzato (BS), the laboratory is ACCREDIA accredited (No. 00855) for a wide range of environmental and physical tests. The multidisciplinary team’s thirty years of experience and the use of state-of-the-art infrastructure enable INTEK to support leading companies in the automotive, marine, railway, and electronics sectors, ensuring results that comply with the most stringent international standards.
Corrosion testing at INTEK strictly follows the protocols defined by international regulations, providing a reliable and uniform framework for assessing product compliance.
These standards define the procedures and evaluation criteria required to ensure a high level of quality.
An overview of the test chambers and technical expertise dedicated to evaluating the corrosion resistance of complex materials and components.
The laboratory testing process replicates accelerated aging scenarios to promptly identify any structural deficiencies.
Salt spray testing is of strategic importance for various industrial sectors where resistance to aggressive environments is a critical requirement for safety and operational continuity.
In addition to conducting tests, INTEK assists clients in interpreting results with the goal of improving durability performance and preventing costly product recalls.
INTEK offers a comprehensive, accredited service for salt spray testing, ensuring highly accurate results in full compliance with international standards. Thanks to the expertise we have developed since 1994 and a dedicated technological infrastructure, we support our industrial partners not only in the technical execution of tests but also in the critical interpretation of data. The goal is to transform testing into an opportunity for improvement by optimizing the corrosion resistance and durability of components. As part of a comprehensive validation approach, our offering integrates these tests with environmental and climatic testing, ensuring maximum reliability of the final product under all operating conditions.
Because it allows for the rapid assessment of corrosion resistance, identifying issues that would take years to manifest under real-world conditions.
The test is applicable to metallic materials, surface coatings, electronic components, and mechanical parts.
Early identification allows for the necessary design or process changes to be made to improve durability, ensuring the final reliability of the product. At INTEK, our technical team works with you to analyze the failure and recommend corrective actions regarding the design or materials.
