Test Panels

Q-Panel brand test panels minimize metal variability in coatings tests.

Panels are available in various sizes and finishes, including bare steel, iron phosphated steel, bare aluminum and chromated aluminum.

Aluminum Panels
Because they are lightweight and rust free, it is often more convenient to use aluminum panels in place of steel. Aluminum panels can be used to replace steel for sales samples, color standards, mailing and even for weathering tests.
