Powder Testing Capabilities & Equipment

It is important to have good powder flow and charge properties when electrostatically applying UV powder coatings. Therefore, we perform powder testing to determine the optimum conditions for application.

  • We test our UV powder performance for the following properties:
    • Fluidization
    • Storage stability
    • Particle size distribution
    • Viscosity
    • Cure testing (DSC/FTRIR)

    If you have a technical question, feel free to contact us. Our chemists are always up for a challenge.
