Norlab offers solutions for the characterization of the functional components used in a paint formulation, or to assess the performance and stability of the formulated product.

Our product range comprises testing and analysis instruments for dispersion long-term stability, particle size of powders and in nanometer range, particle shape, zeta potential, paint surface tension and wetting behaviour of the substrate.
