ELPETEC Testing Services
Measuring instruments, test equipment and climatic cabinets of our quality test laboratory provide technical data, valuable information and target-oriented hints that form a reliable basis for decision-making, both for our customers and ourselves. We not only perform detailed testing on our coating materials and their raw materials, but also verify a wide variety of coating results on test boards, real panels or assemblies (“test objects”) provided by our customers. Besides in quality control or error analysis, the results can be used to select and develop products or to determine data.
Should you wish to receive data and facts for your own orientation or assessment in your product development, we propose the following services performed by our physical or climate laboratories.
After you sent us your purchase order with the objects to be tested, we will carry out the work in a professional and timely manner and send you a meaningful results report.
