The ARMOLOY® Corporate Laboratory The ARMOLOY Corporate Laboratory provides analysis and testing of process solutions for its licensees. This central facility ensures that the ARMOLOY process baths used by all ARMOLOY licensees consistently remain within stringent ARMOLOY-mandated standards. No matter which ARMOLOY licensee produces your ARMOLOY coating, you can always be sure that it is ARMOLOY. The ARMOLOY Corporation has continually invested resources to provide the most knowledgeable and experienced metal-finishing scientists with the most up-to-date equipment with which to analyze and control the ARMOLOY process baths. Not only are all ARMOLOY baths analyzed according to strict schedules, but continuous research and study is performed to ensure that The ARMOLOY Corporation remains the industry leader through technical knowledge and experience. The best available analytical instruments and lab equipment are used to analyze ARMOLOY bath samples, make-up water, wastewater, and related samples. Trace metals in ARMOLOY bath samples and water samples are analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AA). Catalyst control is maintained using ion chromatography (IC) and ion-selective electrodes (ISE's). Where applicable, various "wet" techniques are used to complement instrumental methods. Coating hardness is monitored using a micro-hardness tester. Comparative corrosion-resistance testing is done at The ARMOLOY Lab in a Singleton salt-spray cabinet per ASTM B-117 and AMS-2438. To ensure accuracy and precision, secondary testing is routinely performed by outside, independent laboratories. To further complement chemical analysis and testing, the laboratory technicians at The ARMOLOY Corporate Laboratory serve as technical support for all ARMOLOY licensees. Years of experience have given the Corporation a unique perspective. The ARMOLOY Corporate Laboratory is designed, equipped and staffed to serve as the technical center for the ARMOLOY process.
