The 134S Chloride Ion Test Kit for Surfaces is designed to detect chloride salts on surfaces before the application of a coating. Chloride salts left on a surface can lead to the coating system being compromised by corrosion or blistering, potentially reducing the lifespan of the coating. Therefore, it is crucial to test and ensure the removal of chloride ions before applying the first coat.
This test kit is essential for verifying that surfaces are free from chloride contamination, which can otherwise force the coating system off the surface prematurely. The Elcometer 134S Salt Detection Kit is specifically intended for use on blast-cleaned surfaces to ensure optimal coating performance.
