With solid experience in the market, it offers state-of-the-art technological solutions that satisfy the most demanding customers. Accurate quality control requires the use of specific tools and procedures. In addition, it is essential to constantly monitor the production process in order to detect any anomalies and correct them promptly.
NOSELAB ATS represents international brands in the test and measurement instrumentation sector in Italy and plays a key role in the paint and coatings testing sector.
The company collaborates with prestigious brands and, thanks to its experience and expertise, is able to provide specialised instruments and services for testing and evaluating the performance of paints in various contexts and conditions, contributing to guaranteeing the quality and reliability of the final products by satisfying the needs of customers and of the market.
Range of instruments for all paint tests
The range of instruments offers complete solutions to carry on all the necessary tests on paints. Whether testing adhesion, corrosion resistance, thickness or appearance, it guarantees accurate and reliable results. With a wide selection of equipment, you can conduct your tests efficiently and precisely, thus obtaining information to ensure the quality and durability of your paints. The choice of instruments for paint quality testing is crucial to ensure accurate and reliable results. Among the most common instruments used to assess paint quality are the densimeter to measure density, the viscometer to assess viscosity and the glossmeter to measure the degree of gloss of painted surface. In addition, instruments can be used for testing adhesion, weathering resistance and corrosion resistance.
The correct choice of instruments is essential to ensure compliance with quality specifications and guarantee the durability and effectiveness of the paints used.
The most advanced and interesting instruments are also available for field trials and at the request of customers we carry out sample tests for special requirements dictated by increasingly technical materials.
All backed by brands such as DeFelsko Corporation, a leading US manufacturer of coating thickness gauges and inspection instruments that provides simple, durable and accurate gauges through their state-of-the-art technology, utilising the latest technological advances combined with over 50 years of industry experience.
Over the years, DeFelsko has pioneered many technologies that can be explored at on the NOSELAB ATS’ website, ferrous/non-ferrous combination instruments to automatically recognise the substrate and take a measurement, portable ultrasonic thickness gauge for coatings on non-metallic substrates, plastics, wood and concrete. For gloss, haze and opacity tests, the experience of the British company RHOPOINT offers reliable and easy-to-use glossmeters at all angles, indispensable in the company’s quality control laboratory or on the production line.
Colour also plays a leading role in many companies. Thanks to colour measurement, it is possible to ensure the colour consistency of products, optimise production processes and control the quality of coloured surfaces. This technique is particularly useful for standardising colours and ensuring correct colour rendition in different contexts and lighting conditions.
There are 30 years of experience in this field, solved by X-RITE technology that offers portable and bench-top instruments and systems for colour analysis, a no-
velty being the non-contact MetaVue™ VS3200 imaging spectrophotometer that provides versatility and accuracy in the measurement of dry and wet paint samples; manufacturers can take advantage of MetaVue’s non-contact imaging capabilities to measure difficult samples such as non-planar and small objects, as well as liquids, slurries, powders and gels, without contaminating the instrument.
An all-round range of tools that resolves all doubts and the main difficulty that lies in ensuring that the paints produced meet the required quality standards in terms of resistance, durability and aesthetic appearance.
The complexity of paint quality control requires the adoption of advanced technologies to ensure that products comply with Standards and customer expectations. Only through strict quality control it is possible to ensure maximum reliability and performance of paints used in various industries.
Finding a trusted partner is crucial, and the company can also guarantee periodic instrument checks and ISO certification.
This is an important aspect in the maintenance and efficiency of instruments, this type of service ensures that periodic checks and inspections are carried out regularly to guarantee the correct functioning of the instruments and the accuracy of measurements. Thanks to this constant control process, any anomalies or problems can be detected and timely action can be taken to avoid faults or errors. This ensures the quality and reliability of the instruments’ performance over time, contributing to the proper performance of the activities for which they are used.
