Turn-key Paint Shop Solutions
In today's competitive manufacturing environment, efficiency is essential to both survival and growth. Inconsistent finish quality, inefficient pumping technologies, and material degradation can quickly erode margins. Learn how simple it can be to improve the efficiency and control of your painting operation by easily automating processes within your paint shop.

Paint Testing Evaluation: Not All Paints Are Created Equal
In the world of surface treatment, paint quality is the key to successful corrosion protection with a properly applied pretreatment. Global specification testing has shown the possibility that not all paints give the same performance even though the base chemistry class is the same. This testing is designed to compare paints from multiple sources of the same class. Three different paint classes from three different sources will be compared using one base pretreatment. These were then tested using cyclic corrosion to determine how paints of the same class perform compare to its peers.
