Coating Weathering Claims: State the Failure Mode Being Predicted

A weathering study may address one failure mode rather than every property of the coating system. Predictions should preserve that scope.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Identify whether the endpoint concerns colour, cracking, adhesion or another outcome and review the evidence supporting extrapolation.

Stable colour does not automatically establish unchanged adhesion or water behaviour over the same exposure.

Decision limits

Do not convert one favourable endpoint into a universal lifespan promise.
