In this two-part series, we explore how this carefully crafted design of experiments (DOE) isolated and contrasted the impact and interaction of three key process variables: film build; atomization, and coating viscosity (as determined by temperature).
The Multi-Shot Pyrolyzer provides many advantages and immediate quality improvements in a coatings laboratory. Virtually any material (liquid or solid) can be chemically characterized using this technique.
The color measurement ecosystem can benefit from this mobile app-based solution, as a compliment to traditional methods. Portability and speed, coupled with device accuracy, make this emerging technology worth looking into.
The ultimate goal of field testing is to evaluate and recommend the best performing preservatives that will offer protection of customer coatings across the widest range of potential environmental eventualities for their end-use products.
The CM-M6 multi-angle spectrophotometer from Konica Minolta Sensing Inc. allows customers to measure nonflat automotive samples that in the past have been difficult or impossible to measure with excellent repeatability of color values.
When the pressure is on to maintain your high quality standards when scaling up production, ensure your chemical manufacturing software has all the inbuilt quality features, from receiving through production to shipping, to avoid the downside of delivering substandard products to your customers.
Shipping hazardous materials is a complicated, time-consuming process. Integrating ERP and DG software systems takes initial IT work, but results in a simplified shipping process with more robust capabilities – which is the ideal logistics technology solution for streamlined compliance.
The new photothermal measuring device can measure the thickness of more than 95 percent of the powder coatings currently on the market, including normal, textured and metallic products.
Rheological tests that properly characterize sag and leveling must mimic a low force level applied to a paint sample over an extended time interval to confirm that performance of the paint formulation is acceptable.
