Q-Lab is a global supplier of weathering and corrosion testing equipment. Founded in 1956, the company’s headquarters, R&D center, and manufacturing facilities are located in Ohio, USA. Q-Lab manufactures Q-PANEL standard test substrates, QUV accelerated weathering testers, Q-SUN xenon arc test chambers, and Q-FOG cyclic corrosion salt spray chambers. These weathering and corrosion testing instruments are widely used to evaluate the durability and corrosion resistance of architectural coatings, industrial coatings, automotive coatings, powder coatings, and low VOC environmentally friendly formulations. They simulate major degradation and corrosion mechanisms such as color change, cracking, chalking, gloss loss, peeling, and corrosion creep, providing critical data for formulation optimization and quality control. In addition to laboratory equipment, Q-Lab offers outdoor exposure testing in Florida and Arizona, including the Q-TRAC natural sunlight concentrator, which delivers five times the annual UV radiation of Florida. This makes it particularly suitable for testing highly durable materials such as coil coatings and powder coatings.
