US Webinar - Q-PANEL Standard Substrates
This webinar will outline the nearly 70-year history of Q-PANEL substrates, including standard steel and aluminum panels, corrosion mass-loss coupons, and specialty panels. Join us on Tuesday, 01 July at 8 am or 11 am EDT.
Protective and decorative coatings – including paints, plating, adhesives, sealants, and rust inhibitors – undergo a wide range of testing for research, development, and quality control purposes. For these tests on coatings to be reliable and reproducible, the substrates to which the coatings are applied must be consistent from test to test. This ensures that test results accurately represent the performance of the coating itself, rather than the material being coated or the interface between them.
To meet this need, Q-Lab produces a variety of Q-PANEL steel and aluminum test substrates, recognized as the world standard for consistent and uniform test surfaces. Thousands of labs around the world use millions of these test panels every year for tests including color development, weathering exposures, salt spray and corrosion testing, physical property testing, and quality control.
This free webinar presented by Q-Lab will cover:
- The history of Q-PANEL substrates from their first introduction in 1956
- Standard steel and aluminum Q-PANEL offerings
- Mass-loss coupons for corrosion testing
- Automotive Refinish Training System (ARTS), specialty, and custom panels
This webinar will be presented in English.
