OUR APPROACH TO CORROSION ENGINEERING
Elinor Coatings provides comprehensive corrosion engineering services for aerospace, maritime, and ground vehicles, specializing in corrosion consulting, product development, and material testing. When a failure occurs, our expert team steps in to thoroughly analyze the problem, identify the root cause, and formulate a targeted solution. This may involve developing a brand-new coating specifically designed for your needs or recommending and applying one of our existing, chromate-free, high-performance coatings. We then rigorously test the proposed solution to ensure it effectively mitigates the corrosion issue and delivers lasting protection.
CUTTING-EDGE TECH
Based in Fargo, North Dakota, adjacent to North Dakota State University—home to the oldest and only advanced degree program in corrosion and coatings—Elinor Coatings leverages advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment to validate groundbreaking research in corrosion and materials science. Our cutting-edge laboratories and dedicated exposure sites at the Aurora Center for Extreme Weather Materials—a specialized division focused on assets in severe weather—ensure your solutions meet rigorous specifications. We back this up with comprehensive ASTM testing, including evaluations following SAE G8 (Coatings Committee) and SAE G9 (Sealants Committee) protocols.
