We manufacture testing solutions that empower our customers to make more sustainable choices. Tools that not only save them money but also protect the planet.
That’s exactly what the CurveX 4 temperature data-logger from TQC Sheen did for our metals profiling customer. Their investment in our industrial powder coating oven was so effective, it helped them to significantly reduce their energy consumption by a third!
With energy costs rising fast, investing in a solution to maximize energy efficiency can be a business critical decision. Thanks to CurveX 4, our customer has enjoyed massive savings and now operates in a far more sustainable manner.
Saving energy while curing coatings
By utilizing a temperature data logger like the world-class CurveX 4 device, you get accurate insights into how long a coated product has to stay in the oven. It tells you exactly what temperature the oven should be for a specific product, taking away any guesswork.
Oven profiling information helps you to quantify the energy required in the curing reaction of your products. When you fully understand an oven’s efficiency and curing reaction time you can optimize your operations dramatically.
The CurveX 4 works in conjunction with our TQC Sheen ‘Ideal Finish Software’ – so you can simulate changes or analyze the cure data to streamline your processes and ensure the right changes are made.
The data and insight the CurveX 4 generates is extremely valuable. It allows you to drastically improve your production process and make smarter, business savvy decisions.

Coatings solutions
Our paint testing specialist brand TQC Sheen is renowned for building intelligent temperature data logging systems that control curing processes in the coating industry.
Before working with us, many of our customers were making educated guesses on their production parameters, which can be extremely costly!
After approaching us with their expensive dilemma, our client at the aluminum profiler was pleased to learn that the world-class CurveX 4 temperature data logger was ideal for their business. We showed how it would provide detailed information on their oven efficiency and offer them greater control over their processes.
Our experts demonstrated that – with access to better data – they could either lower the set temperature of an oven, or increase production speed. Both options result in a much lower energy consumption per coated product.
What’s more – the solution is suitable for use across all can sizes! It can be used for the profiling of the washer dryer, IBO OBO and pin oven.
Your test and measurement partner
At Industrial Physics, we’re here to protect the integrity of packaging, products, and materials for quality control, R&D, and operations experts – all over the world. For us, that goes beyond simply supplying test and measurement instruments. It’s about being there for our customers. And acting as a true partner – answering questions, sharing our knowledge, and perhaps most importantly, reacting quickly if something goes wrong.
Balancing the need for a sustainable future while retaining the integrity of your brand and product is an issue we feel extremely passionate about. So much so, we recently conducted a research project on this topic – speaking to 255 packaging decision makers across a host of industries to determine how sustainable materials impact the need for quality control.
