Quality
Quality at every process stage
Quality and service are paramount at Satink. We therefore carry out inspections during surface treatment using calibrated instruments and consolidate the results in a report.
Process control
Checks throughout the treatment
Quality control is part of every process stage. From manual cleaning and degreasing and masking and plugging to blasting and wet-paint coating, the required checks are aligned with the treatment and agreed requirements.
The inspection results provide a clear record of the checks carried out. If your specification includes particular inspection requirements, please discuss these with us through the contact form.
