Emergence of real-world testing of coatings products to validate the protection levels of assets worldwide is becoming a major issue. Here Sherwin-Williams reveals how the company is committing to a new level of these tests on behalf of its customers.
The Corrosion Inspector was designed to produce a fast and objective evaluation of filiform and other corrosion phenomena by digital analysis of coated test plates.
Because of the increased accuracy of data, measurements from spectrophotometers can be compared against standards, without the need to conduct parallel tests, effectively saving time and money in the process.
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.
