Fitz’s Atlas of Coating Defects
Fitz’s Atlas has introduced an update to the Coating Defects App. This update includes hot dip galvanised defects and motor vehicle coating defects, in addition to the existing protective coating defects.
The App now features a microscopy section that provides detailed information on paint and coating samples, as well as laboratory analysis.
The hot dip galvanised update incorporates various defects such as wet storage stains, discolouration, pimples, flux staining, spangled coating, and many more. Users can use this information to determine if any rectification work is required or if the subject complies with ISO Standards like ISO 1461.
Motor vehicle coating defects have also been included in the update. These defects cover adhesion loss, bleeding, chipping, cracking, dry spray, lifting, and others. Each defect is visually represented in two different colours.
One of the unique features of the app is live videos that showcase different coating defects. The app is accessible on Apple and Android smartphones and tablets.
