Research and development

THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT FUNCTION HAS A LABORATORY TO GUARANTEE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PROCESS.

It deals with testing new materials, chemical products, and powder coatings so that VRB is always up to date with state-of-art technologies.
During sampling, tests and trials are conducted to technically define the best pre-treatment cycles for future orders.

We can conduct the following tests:

1. Thickness UNI EN ISO 2360
2. Gloss UNI EN ISO 2813
