Research and Custom Formula Development
Developing Custom Formulations
Because standard products almost never meet the specific
needs of industrial and commercial customers, Seagrave technical service is based on our
applied research and development department. Our technical staff, cross-trained in
research as well as production, develops in accordance with the specifications you
provide.
Before we begin a custom formulation, we examine your
production line. From set-up to clean-up, all of your paint line is taken into account in
developing a coating which will meet your production requirements.
A Requirements Approach To Formulation
In addition to production line factors, we develop
performance specifications for each product (if they are not already established).
Specifications may include standard ASTM tests and/or customer mandated criteria, such as
:
 | UV Resistance (yellowness index)
|
| mil thickness
|
| angular gloss
|
| cross hatch adhesion
|
| VOC
|
| HAPS
|
| MEK Rubs |
Only when we have determined all your needs can we formulate
an appropriate finish for you.
