Minute fragments of paint recovered from, say, an individual’s clothing can often offer significant evidence when they match to fragments from a crime scene.
A tool used to force open a window frame or door can often retain fragments that to the naked eye are just single layers of paint. However, such fragments can often act as a history lesson in the way that an item has been painted over a period of time and this can be of great scientific relevance.

The layer sequencing of fragments can be of vital importance, as when an individual layer is shown to have the same physical and chemical properties as that from the crime scene fragment then usually great significance can be attached.
Bericon is able to review the analytical data acquired in a case of this type and provide expert scrutiny as to the significance of any recovered fragments.
