PRODUCTS & PROCESSES
Development of new TQC
products in full swing
Dutch manufacturer TQC
designs and produces field
measuring instruments and
lab equipment for testing
paint coatings and general
surfaces/treatments.
TQC’s objective is to create
and offer solutions for every
possible quality control
application in surface
technology, not by just
producing products similar
to other brands, but also by
designing their own innovative
products from scratch.
Many new projects
Exciting products
The R&D department is currently working
on a variety of new products that will be
released later this year. Among those a
ViscoThinner and a low voltage pinhole
detector. The production of TQC’s
permeability cup and a basic version of the
Washability Test has just been completed.
Currently the most exciting project within
the TQC R&D team is the development of
the TQC CureView Thermal Test Centre,
which runs in close collaboration with
a number of global players in the resin
and additives industry. The CureView is
a flexible oven that allows the user to heatup test panels in a variety of patterns to
temperatures varying from ambient to over
300°C. Profiles measured by the CurveX
oven logger system can be uploaded to
the CureView in order to duplicate a
production process on a lab scale.
Twenty years experience
Twenty years after the first CurveX Oven
Logger, the new CurveX 3 Oven Logger
Basic is about to be released. This new
oven data tracker is fitted with three
large buttons for easy operation and three
LEDs, giving power, paint type, logging
and cure information. Next year its big
brother, an advanced model, is scheduled
for production.
