In the world of industrial manufacturing, a component’s finish isn’t the final step. It’s the first line of defense in whatever happens after it leaves the factory. Whether your components are exposed to road salt or ocean spray, high heat and humidity, or intense friction, their performance depends on the quality of the industrial coating.
Matlab Inc. doesn’t believe in achieving average or even good quality. We believe in industrial coating quality control that exceeds expectations. Whether we’re just getting started with the first item or coating the millionth piece a month later, we ensure we’re perfecting the process following your exact specifications and documenting everything.
The Foundation: ISO 9001:2015 Certification
Quality doesn’t happen without a set process. Our facility operates under a strict ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system.
This certification demonstrates our expertise in planning and adhering to strict standards at every step of the manufacturing process. To get this certification, we must pass surprise audits to demonstrate the effectiveness of our quality management system. Our skilled workers know exactly what to do to achieve perfection.
By maintaining these high industrial coating standards, we provide our partners with:
- Complete Transparency: From raw material intake to final delivery.
- Standardized Processes: Ensuring that every employee follows the same validated process.
- Continuous Improvement: Data-driven adjustments that refine our efficiency and deliver results that impress you.
Rigorous Coating Performance Testing
How do you know an industrial coating will hold up after 10 or 20 years in the field? Lab testing simulates the conditions a component undergoes. Our coating performance testing protocols are designed to push finishes to the max, ensuring they never fail the end user.
We use a suite of ASTM coating testing methods to validate the adhesion, chemical resistance, and durability of every product we coat, as ASTM standards provide a universal benchmark for excellence.
These are just a small selection of the standards we use:
- ASTM B117 validates corrosion resistance.
- ASTM D2794 measures the coating's ability to withstand impact without cracking.
- ASTM D3359 ensures the coating is chemically and mechanically adhered to the metal substrate.
- ASTM D3363 determines resistance to scratches and surface wear.
Specialized Approaches: Powder Coating and Metal Finishing
Different substrates require different approaches. Our approach to powder coating quality focuses on a uniform coating thickness and proper cure cycles. An item's finish can't be perfect without specialized approaches.
We monitor oven temperatures in real-time, ensuring every part achieves full cross-linking for long-lasting durability. Learn more about our specific powder coating solutions.
Our metal finishing quality control for liquid coatings focuses on precise application. We manage viscosity, ambient humidity, and flash-off times to prevent defects. We protect against imperfections like orange peel or pinholes.
Whether it’s high-solids epoxies or specialized urethanes, Matlab Inc.’s goal is a flawless, high-performance barrier.
Consistency at Scale
It’s easy to get one part perfected, but it’s incredibly difficult to get 1 million parts right. Matlab Inc. specializes in consistency at scale. We’ve invested in the technology and the training to ensure that high-volume runs receive the same granular attention as a customized prototype.
We don't just check the quality at the beginning and end of a run. We build it into the process through mid-stream inspections and automated monitoring. This proactive stance reduces scrap and ensures your deadlines are never compromised by avoidable re-work.
