CHEMISTRY
IS THE BASIS OF
OUR LABORATORY
The Allter Lab offers you capabilities to analyse, develop, and research existing and/or new coating ingredients, corrosion prevention solution and other materials which make a difference. Chemistry is the basis of our laboratory. The team has extensive experience in the fields of paint and coating chemistry. The lab has a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment. Allter Lab continues to invest in new analytical techniques and equipment for corrosion such as microbiological induced corrosion and hydrogen induced corrosion.
