In the world of heavy-duty protective coatings—think offshore platforms, bridges, or storage tanks—adhesion isn’t just a number. It’s a predictor of performance, a gatekeeper of warranty, and often, a contractual requirement. But how do you verify that a coating system applied in the field actually meets the laboratory-designed bond strength? ISO 16276-1: Breaking Down the Adhesion Testing Standard
