Q-Panel Substrate Types

Panel SubstratesStandard Test Panels
Standard test panels are made from steel and aluminum in a range of sizes and finishes. Request our Price List for a full listing of paint test panels, specifications and complete details.

Steel Panels
Steel test panels are made from standard low-carbon, cold-rolled steel complying with ASTM A1008.1010, A-109, and QQS-698. Steel panels are packed with vapor phase rust inhibitor and can have  shelf life of up to 10 years. 

Aluminum Panels
Aluminum test panels are often more convenient to use than steel because of their light weight and corrosion resistance. Aluminum panels can be used to replace steel for sales samples, color standards, mailing and even for weather tests.

Iron Phosphated Panels
Q-Phos™ test panels are available in two surface types and a range of sizes to suit most testing requirements.  Premium quality is assured by documentation of source lot quality; and statistical monitoring of finished panel characteristics. Stock Q-Phos test panels are normally available for immediate shipment. All Q-Phos panels are made from the same premium steel as Q-Panel's standard steel paint test panels. 

Special Test Panels
In addition to our standard panels, we can also make types and sizes not shown on our regular Price Lists. Special test panels can be manufactured with various alloys and finishes. These specials are most cost effective when there are quantities sufficient to allow an economical production run and when the special panels employ either our stock metal or readily available alloys.
