In-House Process Monitoring

We use real-time tracking systems to maintain strict quality control throughout production. Key monitoring elements include:

  • Oven profiling to ensure proper curing temperatures
  • First article approvals for new production runs
  • Daily washer titration to maintain chemical balance in pre-treatment systems
  • TAC System monitoring for precise control over
    • Line speed
    • Oven temperature
    • Bath temperature and conductivity
    • Plant air quality (temperature, humidity, pressure, compressed air moisture)

All process data is stored for future retrieval, allowing us to maintain full traceability and ensure compliance with customer and industry requirements.

Quality Assurance Testing

Every coated part undergoes rigorous in-house testing to verify coating adhesion, thickness, hardness, and durability. Our testing procedures include:

  • Crosshatch testing for adhesion performance
  • Solvent rub tests for chemical resistance
  • Mil thickness measurement for proper coating application
  • Gloss meter readings for visual consistency
  • Pencil hardness testing for scratch resistance
  • Blast profiling to ensure proper surface preparation

For projects that require additional validation, we work with trusted third-party labs to perform:

  • Salt spray testing for corrosion resistance
  • Mandrel bend testing for coating flexibility
  • Direct and reverse impact testing for durability under stress

These tests confirm that every finish meets or exceeds performance expectations, ensuring reliability across critical applications.
