Quality and Control

Industrial and domestic consumers of coloured products, whether food, motor vehicles, clothing, coatings or cosmetics, are using the consistency of colour and appearance of the finished products as a measure of intrinsic quality performance.

Formulations and recipes must not only be consistently repeatable and reproducible, but the product must also be monitored to check that this is being achieved in practice.

The colour and appearance of natural and processed foods, influence the consumer's choice before an opportunity to taste or smell arises.

Physical properties such as coating thickness, weight, density, moisture content and the adhesion of the coating to the substrate are all being routinely measured and can be easily compared to an established standard.

The companies below produce precise instrumentation for the assessment of quality.
