In the field of powder specific tests we offer the following services:

Gel time in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8130-6
A very simple characterisation and quality assurance process for powder coatings that indicates the reactivity of the system.

Inclined plane flow test in accordance with ISO 8130-11
Test of the flow characteristics of a system to determine its melt flow and reactivity.

Particle size distribution using laser diffraction in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8130-13
Measurement in percent of the particle size distribution of a powder coating which can influence its flow properties and application.

Compatibility test in accordance with DIN EN ISO 8130-12
Test used to determine the compatibility of different powder coating systems. This allows potential problems to be prevented when a powder coating machine is supplied with a new type of powder.
