Paints & Coatings Test & Measurement Solutions: Consistent Quality, Compliant Results, Every Batch

Overview

Industrial Physics delivers the broadest portfolio of test and measurement solutions for the paints and coatings industry. In this video, you’ll see how solutions spanning viscosity, film application, gloss, color, thickness, and adhesion help quality, R&D, and operations teams maintain compliance, reduce waste, and prove performance from formulation through to final quality release.

Key Testing Capabilities for Paints & Coatings

• Coating property testing across thickness, adhesion, flexibility, and appearance
• Wet film to dry film thickness, from manual to continuous inline measurement
• Gloss, color, and surface uniformity for consistent appearance
• Cross-cut and pull-off adhesion testing aligned to ASTM and ISO methods
• Corrosion and weathering testing to simulate real-world exposure
• Pencil, pendulum, and indentation hardness testing
• Bend and mandrel flexibility testing
• In-process viscosity measurement for VOC compliance and formulation control
• Technology from TQC Sheen and SpecMetrix

What You’ll Learn in This Video

• 00:00 – Introduction to paints and coatings quality control
• 00:15 – The pressure to get it right first time (VOC limits, sustainability, throughput)
• 00:19 – Overview of the testing solutions portfolio
• 00:51 – Standards-aligned testing and global service support

Complete Testing Solutions for Paints & Coatings

In paints and coatings manufacturing, a single out-of-spec batch means rework, wasted material, and the risk of customer claims. In a market tightening on VOC limits, demanding greater sustainability, and expecting faster throughput, the pressure to get it right first time has never been greater.

Industrial Physics provides accurate, repeatable results across every critical parameter, from viscosity and film application to gloss, color, thickness, and adhesion. Across architectural, industrial, automotive, protective, and coil coatings, this enables manufacturers, applicators, and R&D laboratories to maintain compliance, reduce waste, and protect brand reputation at every stage of production.

Typical Applications

• Architectural and decorative coatings
• Industrial and protective coatings
• Automotive coatings
• Coil coatings
• R&D laboratories and quality release testing

Technical Summary

• Test parameters: Viscosity, wet/dry film thickness, gloss, color, adhesion (cross-cut, pull-off), corrosion/weathering, hardness (pencil, pendulum, indentation), flexibility (bend, mandrel)
• Coating types: Architectural, industrial, automotive, protective, coil; solvent-borne, waterborne, high-solids
• Standards: ASTM, DIN, ISO
