We perform coating thickness measurements at FILK testing laboratory in accordance with various standards, such as DIN EN ISO 17186 for leather (determination of the thickness of the leather finish), DIN EN ISO 2808 for the coating thickness of plastics/polymer, elastomers, and other materials — including hard substrates, composites, and multilayer structures (using the cross-section method), and DBL 5348 for artificial leather, vinyl, PU leather.
Primarily, optical and microscopic methods are used for coating thickness determination, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), for example, when examining very thin lacquer or coating layers.
These measurement methods are also generally applied to determine partial layer thicknesses in various materials and layer systems.
Determining coating thickness is often essential for quality assurance and complaint handling, in the automotive sector and other industries for meeting technical delivery specifications (TL), for material classification (e.g. RAL testing related to the designation of leather types), or in the context of failure and damage analysis.
