Research and Development

Laboratory

The Sircolor Quality Control, Research and Development Laboratory is the heart of innovation in the production of high-performance industrial paints and protective coatings.

Through constant applied chemical research, we develop advanced solutions to ensure:

  • High corrosion resistance
  • Long-lasting durability
  • Compliance with ISO and environmental regulations
  • Reduced environmental impact

Innovation, continuous performance improvement, and sustainability are the cornerstones of our business.

Laboratory testing and certified quality control

All formulations are subjected to rigorous laboratory tests to verify their technical and mechanical performance.

We perform tests on:

  • Adhesion to substrate
  • Corrosion resistance (salt spray test)
  • Hardness and abrasion resistance
  • Chemical resistance to solvents, fuels, oils, and various aggressive agents
  • Film thickness control
  • Brightness, color, and aesthetic stability

This process ensures certified performance in compliance with ISO standards and the technical specifications required by industrial customers.

Durability and accelerated aging tests

In our laboratory, we simulate extreme environmental conditions to assess the long-term durability and reliability of our coatings.

We perform:

  • Accelerated UV exposure testing
  • Hot/cold thermal cycling
  • Humidity and condensation testing
  • Outdoor testing on exposed panels

These analyses enable the development of high-resistance industrial coatings for outdoor environments and highly critical applications.

Sustainable industrial coatings compliant with regulations

Sircolor invests in the development of eco-friendly solutions for industry, with particular focus on:

  • VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) reduction
  • Development of water-based coatings
  • High-solid or solvent-free products
  • Compliance with European regulations (EU REACH)
  • Substitution of hazardous substances

The goal is to offer high-performance, sustainable industrial coatings in full compliance with environmental regulations.

Technical collaboration and customized solutions

The Research and Development department works in synergy with:

  • Production Department
  • Quality control
  • Technical Assistance at Customer Service

We develop customized industrial paints, create samples and prototypes, and support customers in defining the most effective painting cycle.
