Within this industry, GAO Tek’s moisture analyzers and meters play a pivotal role. Known by various names such as moisture testers, detectors, gauges, sensors, and meters, these devices are indispensable for several purposes. They ensure the quality of raw materials by measuring moisture content in pigments and binders, guaranteeing consistent product formulations. Moreover, they play a crucial role in preventing defects in coatings, such as blisters and adhesion problems, by verifying appropriate moisture levels before application.
Storage monitoring is another critical application, where moisture meters help maintain optimal moisture levels in storage tanks to prevent product degradation. During the manufacturing process, moisture analyzers facilitate drying processes by monitoring moisture content, ensuring proper curing and film formation. Additionally, they contribute to the formulation of adhesives and sealants by controlling moisture content, thereby ensuring optimal adhesion and sealing properties.
Environmental testing is also vital, with moisture meters assessing coatings’ resistance and durability under various environmental conditions. In research and development efforts, moisture analysis aids in understanding moisture’s effects on product performance, leading to the development of new formulations.
Furthermore, GAO Tek’s moisture analyzers adhere to industry standards and government regulations concerning moisture content. These standards include ASTM D6868 and ISO 15512, with compliance extending to regulations set by the EPA and OSHA in the U.S., Health Canada regulations, Mexican environmental regulations, and European regulations such as REACH and CLP regulations.
