Failure Analysis

CAS-MI Laboratories has developed special expertise in paint failure analysis. We apply our physical and chemical analytical expertise to perform root cause analysis, solving quality issues for paints and coatings.

A product failure may include problems with:

• Adhesion
• Corrosion
• Discoloration
• Contamination

As an independent laboratory, CAS-MI provides a second opinion for determining root cause and responsibility. Each coating failure is unique and requires its own set of analytical methods and solutions.

We offer recommendations for prevention of future product failures and when needed, our Ph.D. chemists are experienced in providing litigation support and expert opinions in deposition and trials (see Litigation Support).
