APPLICATION LABORATORIES & LEARNING CENTERS Application Laboratories and Learning Centers at Liquid Control facilities in Ohio and Florida are recognized as the best equipped in the industry. These labs are dedicated to the development, testing and demonstration of meter, mix and dispense equipment and process technology for a wide variety of resin systems. Customers and material suppliers develop new applications and resolve formulation and production problems using this capability. By testing materials and processes in a real-life environment, customers can shorten the time to market of new products. Customers can view their actual part being dispensed on, with their material of choice. Conference rooms outside each lab enable customers to carry out private meetings with Liquid Control staff or conduct conference calls. Material suppliers can identify the best dispensing configuration for their materials and optimize their chemistries by testing them in conditions that closely resemble real-life production environments. Once a new Liquid Control machine is built, the laboratories provide the opportunity to actually "wet test" each machine before it leaves our door. Customers are encouraged to attend this test so they can watch their new machine operate and receive training specific to their machine, materials and process. Our objective is to simulate the actual production process so well in our labs that the installation and production scale up times are greatly reduced. A team of technical experts knowledgeable in material chemistries and equipment engineering is available to provide a wide range of processing and material analyses. Once your test is complete, we deliver: A detailed written lab evaluation report Samples of cured material or prototype products A meter-mix-dispense equipment recommendation Each facility is equipped with: The latest dispensing equipment Data logging and trending software Robotics Ovens Extensive testing tools Application processing includes: Electrical potting Vacuum encapsulation Adhesive bonding Scaling Resin transfer molding Casting Volumetric shot dispensing Material testing capabilities comprise: Viscosity Specific gravity Ratio Temperature Gel time or pot life Durometer Optimum processing parameters Contact us to schedule a demonstration, process development time or pre-scale up production.   Applications |  Products |  About Us |  Contact Us |  Request Information
