Coatings

At INNOPROOF GmbH, we have established an extensive expertise in the testing of implant coatings and we offer a wide range of standardized test methods. All methods mentioned below are accredited within our certified scope. 

The static tests of implant coatings are analysis of shear strength per ASTM F 1044 and analysis of tensile strength per ASTM F 1147.

We also offer the tensile strength test specifically for hydroyapatite (HAP) coatings per ISO 13779-4.

For cyclic loading of implant coatings, ISO 13179-1 and ASTM F 1160 are used, aiming at a run-out of 10 million cycles. 

Abrasion resistance of implant coatings is tested using the Taber Abraser per ASTM F 1978.
