In the field of new material chemical industry, many companies often build a laboratory for product performance testing experiments. Today, I would like to share with you the procurement plan for instrument configuration commonly used in laboratory testing of water-based coatings. Water-based paint is a type of paint that is widely used. Due to its wide range of applications, it needs to be tested for various properties, including flexibility, weather resistance, dispersion, anti-sag, viscosity, density, gloss, quality, attachment Strength, hardness, etc., these are routine coating performance tests.
According to the performance testing requirements of water-based coatings and the technical requirements for instruments stipulated in national standards, the professional project manager of NBCHAO made a selection plan for purchasing instruments for the construction project of water-based coatings laboratory. It can be used as a reference for users in the water-based paint industry. This is a list of cost-effective instrument configurations selected from different brands in the industry.
