- Testing and Measuring
MetoKote Corp., a provider of electrocoat, powder coat, liquid paint, and specialty coatings, has relocated its performance test laboratory to a larger space within its Lima, Ohio, facility.
The A2LA (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation)-certified lab provides service to customers doing business at any of the company's 30 facilities worldwide. The new 1,900-sq.-ft. location provides an improved controlled environment, more space with room to grow, and the ability to perform hundreds of different test methods.
The lab, staffed by two full-time employees, offers a variety of services such as salt spray testing, cyclical corrosion testing, humidity testing, QUV-accelerated weathering, hardness tests, and solvent rubs. It performs biweekly panel corrosion tests for the company’s 78 process lines located around the world.
The facility conducts production part approval process testing and performance specification testing to dictate coating requirements, and it collects R&D data. Laboratory personnel also maintain a specification library that includes material and performance specifications which are used companywide at different stages of the operation.
