Factory laboratories of the Lacover powder coating are equipped with high-precision equipment that ensures compliance of the products with the established quality standards.

With the help of laboratory research, incoming raw materials, pigments and resins are monitored, and new formulations are developed, which allow to reduce paint consumption during staining.

Our equipment

Laser particle size analyzer “Cilas 990”

The properties of powder materials largely depend on the size of the constituent particles, so granulometric analysis is one of the most important elements in laboratory development and production. Cilas 990 is highly accurate, which makes it possible to more accurately control the dispersion of paint and improve its quality characteristics.

“Cilas” meets the highest standards of laser and optical integration and metrology of powders. This is an innovative solution in the analysis of particle size and shape for the powder industry.

The technology of spray dry spraying is a new technique, patented by “Cilas” for efficient dispersion and analysis of even the most complex powders. Its distinctive feature is the mass flow controller, which effectively disperses dry samples regardless of the volume of the sample.

An economical particle size analyzer 990 has a standard measuring range of 0.2 to 500 microns. The software”Cilas” allows correlating the results of determining the particle size with the data obtained from the sieve analysis or the sedigraphs. Built-in ultrasonic technology provides an effective tool for deagglomeration of samples.

Particle size analyzer «Cilas» calibrated in accordance with ISO 13320 and USP standards for high accuracy and repeatability. The program “SizeExpert” allows you to perform a full tracking of the results.

The image analysis package “Cilas”  provides information about both the particle size and its shape. Using the software, we get more than 100 properties of the shape of particles, such as roundedness, convexity, sphericity, aspect ratio, area, shape factor and much more. This provides a cost-effective tool for analyzing the shape of particles.

“Cilas” is the world’s first laser particle size analyzer with a fully integrated imaging system. This solution allows one and the same sample to be analyzed both in the laser diffraction mode and in the imaging mode.
