Lainisalo Group
Innovation and Product Development
We advance industrial surface treatment in our own research laboratory. We combine scientific testing, functional specialty coatings and certified inspection expertise to give our customers a competitive edge.
R&D EXPERTISE
Solutions for demanding operating environments
We tailor coatings with special properties, including electrical conductivity, friction control, self-cleaning, and patented antimicrobial protection.

We verify coating compliance through official weathering tests, salt spray tests and audits by our certified FROSIO inspectors.

We help our customers select coating systems and calculate lifecycle costs as early as the product design stage.

TECHNOLOGY & DOCUMENTATION
Practical implementation of development and testing
We ensure the durability of surfaces in accordance with international industrial standards (including ISO 12944 and exposure categories C1–CX).
We provide customers with official analysis reports on salt spray, adhesion and environmental exposure tests, and our certified Frosio inspectors prepare impartial inspection reports tailored to the quality requirements of the end customer or client.
When standard paints don’t meet the requirements of a specialist application, we work directly with materials suppliers to modify binder and additive formulations.
This customisation delivers exceptional performance, for example in heat transfer management, wear resistance or chemical exposure, without costly changes to the material structure.
We provide expert assessments of surface damage, flaking and unexpected corrosion.
We analyze the technical root causes of problems and prepare impartial repair recommendations, detailed work instructions and coating system specifications for equipment manufacturers’ supply chains and tender processes.
Developed in-house and patented, ViralSafe® demonstrates our ability to take material innovations from the laboratory to global markets.
Validated through BSL-3 research, the technology destroys pathogens within seconds of contact. Its commercialisation for facilities and healthcare is handled by our subsidiary, Clean Touch Medical Oy.
