Our in-house laboratory and full-time chemists expedite the problem-to-solution process. We typically can turn inefficiencies and problems into money-saving solutions in a matter of days. Our expertise in the chemistry and properties of metalworking fluids and compounds can assist you in running an efficient and profitable business.

Accelerated Environmental Testing

Consultant Lubricants utilizes an Accelerated Environmental Testing Cabinet as part of our in-house laboratory.  We are able to run various ASTM Standard Methods including humidity and salt spray tests to analyze the water resistance of various coatings to help predict service life and prove the paint process is performing within specification.

These test results can be used to pre-qualify paint adhesion and salt spray resistance prior to submitting for 3rd party lab certification. Additional benefits include comparing corrosion protection of rust inhibitors on various materials and determining the level of corrosion protection your lubricant may require to match your manufacturing and storage processes. Common tests performed are: Standard Non-Condensing Humidity Test, ASTM B117-09 Salt Spray Test, ASTM D1748, ASTM D1735, ASTM D2247.
