Coatings - Fillers Laboratory Services

Coatings - Fillers

Explore the specialized segment of fillers in the coatings industry integral components designed to enhance the physical properties and performance of coatings. Fillers are added to paint varnish and other coating formulations to improve characteristics such as durability viscosity opacity and resistance to weathering and UV light. With advancements in materials science and environmental regulations the industry continues to innovate with sustainable and high-performance fillers catering to a wide range of applications including automotive construction and consumer goods.

Coatings - Fillers Testing and Research Services

Contract Laboratory can help you with all your Coatings - Fillers testing, analysis, scientific research and development, inspection, certification, engineering, failure investigation, and product development needs including:

Particle Size Analysis: Determines the size distribution of filler particles impacting the coating's final appearance and properties
Specific Gravity Test: Measures the density of fillers which affects the weight and coverage of the coating
Oil Absorption Test: Assesses how much oil a filler can absorb which influences the viscosity and drying time of the coating
Moisture Content Analysis: Ensures fillers have low moisture to prevent adverse effects on coating durability and application
Chemical Resistance Test: Evaluates the filler's stability and performance in various chemical environments
Thermal Stability Test: Determines the filler's ability to withstand high temperatures without degrading
Hardness Test: Measures the hardness of fillers contributing to the scratch and wear resistance of the coating

Type of Coatings - Fillers Products

Contract Laboratory can assist your company, academic institution, government agency or organization in outsourcing contract laboratories to perform testing, analysis, and product development for many Coatings - Fillers finished products, processes, systems, in-process materials, raw materials and components such as:

Calcium Carbonate: Widely used for its cost-effectiveness and ability to improve the rheology and opacity of coatings
Silica: Offers increased durability and abrasion resistance utilized in both water-based and solvent-based formulations
Aluminum Oxide: Known for enhancing hardness and scratch resistance in coatings applied to metal and wood surfaces
Barium Sulfate: Provides high density and chemical resistance ideal for protective coatings in industrial applications
Talc: Improves the smoothness and consistency of coatings also acts as a reinforcing filler to increase strength
Clay: Used to enhance the viscosity and prevent sagging of coatings also offers improved barrier properties
Mica: Imparts flexibility and helps in reducing cracking while also improving UV resistance and thermal stability
Glass Beads: Incorporated for reflective properties and to enhance the visual appeal of coatings also improves durability
Titanium Dioxide: Although primarily used as a pigment it also acts as a filler to improve opacity and brightness
Zinc Oxide: Offers anti-corrosive properties and UV protection making it suitable for outdoor coatings
