TECHNOLOGY & DOCUMENTATION

Practical implementation of development and testing

Standardised stress tests and official quality documentation

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.

Custom binder development and materials chemistry

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.

Procurement specifications and root cause analysis of damage

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.

Patented ViralSafe® antimicrobial technology

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.
