Scope and Methodology
The scope of our paint quality certification service covers a wide range of tests aimed at evaluating the performance and compliance of paints. These tests are conducted using advanced equipment and follow strict protocols outlined in international standards such as ISO, ASTM, EN, and IEC.
The first step is to review the paint formula and ingredients for compliance with relevant regulations. This involves checking for prohibited substances like lead or harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The next phase focuses on physical properties including viscosity, drying time, and adhesion strength. Viscosity affects how easily the paint can be applied; drying time determines how quickly it dries after application; while adhesion strength measures how well the paint bonds to the surface.
Color stability is another key area of focus during testing. Paints need to retain their original color over long periods, especially when exposed to sunlight and other elements. Our spectrophotometers provide precise measurements that help assess this aspect effectively. Additionally, we conduct environmental assessments focusing on low VOC emissions and biodegradability where applicable.
Our methodology ensures a thorough examination of all critical factors affecting paint quality.
