The color inspection
Spectra Light Booth is a tool used to simulate the light source condition such as Daylight (D65), Incandescent light A, and Department store light TL84 for determining an accurate visual evaluation.
The different light source affects to the colour shade. To inspect the accuracy during the production, every paint will initially investigate the colour shade compared with target panel.
Chroma meter
To eliminate the ambiguity in visual judgement, The Chroma meter is another device to measure the color value by used L*, a*, b* color space system. Moreover, it used to compare the color shade between sample and standard color then measure the absolute color coordinates in ∆L*, ∆a*, ∆b* value and differences between colors in ∆E* Value.
Tri-Angle Gloss Meter
Gloss is a value that indicates the intensity of the specular reflection of the surface of an object.
To guarantee the quality of product, the gloss is the important parameter must be measure and compare with target panel.
Generally, the 60° is the universal standard measurement angle for measuring the gloss. To complement this the Tri-angle gloss meter instrument also has 20° for improved measurement on high gloss surface, and 85° which gives improved resolution on matt surface.
Coating thickness gauge
A coating thickness gauge is used to measure dry film thickness.
Dual Type Film Thickness Gauge
non-destructive coating thickness measurement, which do not damage the coating or the substrate. Used for coatings on ferrous substrate with measuring by magnetic induction, and non-ferrous substrate with measuring by eddy current.
QC be determined to maintain quality of products to meet the standard for making customers satisfaction. The process to control quality are as below.
Raw-Material
- Check purity of raw materials by Gas Chromatography (GC)
- Check water content by Karl Fisher Titration
Semi-Product
- We control formulation, process and quality for semi-product to maintain quality of color shade, gloss, size of pigment, solid content and viscosity of paint.
Product
- Inspect the production process formula used in production according to the required standard
- Check the quality of the products to meet the specified standards. by using various measuring tools that has been calibrated regularly from accredited agencies according to international standards
- Check the color shades according to the customer's needs by using eyes, color measurement tools, Colorimeter, Glossmeter.
- Quality control product to meet the requirement of customers
- Control the Color shades according to the criteria specified in the product.
