Advanced testing equipment ensures optimal coating adhesion through precise surface preparation, enhancing durability and performance for coatings manufacturers.

Automotive painting is a challenging process, and requires each layer to be sprayed at the optimal thickness. Some leading-edge, ultrasonic thickness gauges can provide both the thickness measurement of each individual layer, and the total thickness measurement of several layers at once, making the process faster and easier.

In cooperation with EUROLACKE powder coatings, the company coatmaster AG has created a material database for the non-contact coating thickness gauge coatmaster Flex.

CM-26dG is a portable sphere spectrophotometer with an integrated 60° gloss sensor allowing distinct color and appearance measurements within one instrument.

The new test kit provides a complete solution for evaluating the environmental conditions prior to painting, as well as measuring the dry film thickness of the coating after application in accordance with SSPC PA-2.

Paul N. Gardner USA's New Indoor/Outdoor Digital Thermo-Hygrometer is a multifunctional humidity thermometer that can display temperature, humidity, and time simultaneously.

Formulators should use technology to track down the rheological sweet spot for their products and see the lab as a source of knowledge and collaboration. The resulting data will set research projects off on the right path and deliver huge savings for R&D, the company, the customer and maybe even the planet.

A producer of architectural wood trim gained visibility into paint consumption at its facility by installing a cloud-based flow measurement and control system that provides accurate and real-time data on paint usage, flow rates, density and other parameters from a computer or smart device.
