Cathodic Disbondment Testing

Cathodic Disbondment Testing | Ensuring Long-Term Coating Integrity

Cathodic disbondment occurs when protective coatings lose adhesion from metal surfaces due to electrochemical reactions in cathodic protection systems. This can lead to premature coating failure, exposing structures to corrosion and potential degradation.

At Advanced Engineering Consultancy and Testing Laboratory (AECTL), we conduct Cathodic Disbondment Testing to evaluate coating performance under simulated cathodic protection conditions—ensuring your materials meet both industry standards and project specifications.

✅ Testing Standards We Follow

• ASTM G8 – Cathodic disbonding of pipeline coatings

• ASTM G42 – Testing coatings under elevated temperatures

• AS/NZS 4352 – Disbondment testing for coated steel structures

Our Cathodic Disbondment Testing Capabilities Include:

✅ Coating Adhesion & Performance Evaluation – Measure coating resistance to cathodic-induced failure.

✅ Accelerated Degradation Simulation – Assess long-term coating performance under electrochemical stress.

✅ Pipeline & Infrastructure Protection – Ensure coatings meet industry standards for oil, gas, and marine applications.

✅ Temperature & Voltage Variation Testing – Evaluate coating durability under different cathodic protection conditions.

✅ Failure Analysis & Quality Control – Detect weaknesses in coatings before field application.

Our Cathodic Disbondment Testing is essential for pipelines, marine structures, buried steel infrastructure, and industrial coatings, helping industries ensure long-term corrosion protection and regulatory compliance.
