Test Panels are precision-engineered metal plates used for colour development, corrosion testing, weathering evaluation and quality control of industrial coatings. Manufactured in aluminium or low-carbon steel, these panels feature a smooth surface finish and rounded edges to ensure minimal variability during laboratory and production tests.

Each panel is produced in compliance with ISO 1514 requirements and follows Qualicoat standards for aluminium and Qualisteelcoat standards for steel, guaranteeing consistent and certified performance in professional coating assessment.

Key Features and Advantages of Coating Test Panels

• ISO 1514 compliant for reliable and standardised coating evaluation.
• Available in aluminium or low-carbon steel to match different coating systems.
• Smooth surface finish ensures uniform paint application and accurate comparative testing.
• Rounded edges prevent coating buildup and improve handling safety.
• Ø8 mm hanging hole for easy positioning during spraying and drying.
• Compatible with Qualicoat and Qualisteelcoat certification requirements.

Applications of Laboratory Coating Test Panels

These coating test panels are used in a wide range of industrial processes, including Powder Coating, Liquid Coating, Plating, Varnishes, Lacquers, Adhesives and Protective Coatings. They allow laboratories and production lines to evaluate:

• Colour development and visual uniformity
• Film thickness and curing performance
• Corrosion and salt spray resistance
• UV and weathering durability
• Adhesion, hardness and general coating behaviour

Performance and Reliability of Aluminium & Steel Test Panels

Manufactured with controlled tolerances and consistent metallurgy, these panels ensure repeatable and comparable results in every test cycle. Their certified surface quality makes them a standard reference substrate for R&D laboratories, coating manufacturers and industrial coating lines.
