Whether it’s fluoropolymer coating for corrosion protection or high-purity linings for critical equipment, we’re here to help you find the right solution.
At ChiNaite, quality control is centered around the integrity and performance of our fluoropolymer coating and lining solutions. Since 2014, we've implemented a full product traceability system. Every coating and lining material used, process applied, and operator involved is documented and trackable. This approach helps us ensure consistent quality across all coating and lining services we provide.
All coated and lined equipment undergoes rigorous inspection before leaving our facilities. These include spark testing, delamination checks, light inspections, adhesion tests, visual evaluations, and coating thickness measurements, performed in accordance with both internal and national standards. The goal is to ensure long-term corrosion resistance, high purity, and surface integrity for demanding applications.
Type of Test | Testing Scope | Applied Standard | Reference Value | Rejection Criteria |

Coating Thickness Inspection
A non-magnetic coating thickness gauge is used to check multiple points on the coated surface. This ensures the applied layer meets the specified thickness requirements across the entire area.
Visual Surface Inspection
Technicians inspect the coating surface for any visible issues such as color inconsistency, bubbles, unevenness, sagging, or cracks to ensure a smooth and uniform finish.
Adhesion Strength Test
A test panel baked with the equipment is cut (10 mm × 60 mm) and manually peeled. If the coating stays intact without peeling, it passes.

Coating Thickness Check
Non-magnetic thickness gauges are used to verify whether the coating meets the required thickness at multiple points across the surface.
Visual Inspection
The coating surface is visually checked for defects such as discoloration, bubbles, uneven texture, sagging, or cracks.
Adhesion Test
A test panel is placed in the oven together with the coated equipment. After curing, a 10 mm × 60 mm strip is cut into the coating. If the strip cannot be peeled off by hand, it passes the test.

Inspection Details
Spark Test on Lined Surface
For lining thickness of around 3 mm, low-frequency DC spark testers are set to 15,000 V. The probe is moved vertically across the surface at a speed below 50 mm/s, covering 100% of the lined area. If no white arc is observed, the test is considered passed.
Delamination Test
A rubber mallet is used to gently tap along the lined surface. Any unusual dull sound suggests potential detachment or voids beneath the liner. Clear, crisp sounds typically indicate proper bonding. This method is used to detect hidden adhesion failures.
Weld Seam Light Test
Special light sources are used to inspect weld seams. The test focuses on identifying imperfections after welding. When using translucent materials like PTFE, high-purity welds will show no irregular light patterns. This method is effective for detecting weld inconsistencies.
