Precise weighing of paint components in the development laboratory

Precise weighing of paint components in the development laboratory

Automotive paints provide long-lasting protection for vehicle bodies against weathering, corrosion, and mechanical stress. New formulations are tested and optimized in the laboratory – from color depth to physical properties. To maintain consistent quality, all ingredients such as pigments, binders, and additives must be dosed to the exact gram. Precision scales are essential for this, as even the smallest deviations can lead to color shifts or poor adhesion. Precise weighing not only ensures product quality but also reduces scrap and complaint costs in series production.

When developing automotive paints in the laboratory, pigments, binders, and other components must be precisely weighed. Only precise dosing with a precision scale guarantees the repeatability of the paint mix and prevents costly complaints due to quality deviations.
