Viscosity testing for paints and coatings
Viscosity testing for paints and coatings

In paints and coatings, viscosity governs how a product applies, levels, sags and stores. Formulators and QC teams track it constantly — and temperature shifts it, so room-temperature numbers only tell part of the story.
Beyond a single Stormer reading
Methods like ASTM D562 (Stormer/KU) give a quick production check. A full viscosity–temperature curve adds the context needed to predict cold-storage thickening and warm-line thinning before they cause defects.
Formulation and QC support
We profile coatings, inks and related fluids across temperature so you can compare candidates under identical, logged conditions.
