Inspections, tests, and laboratory measurements are performed in accordance with the documented procedures and work instructions of the implemented management systems on a sample that represents the production batch, these tests are performed at the end of each production process (mixing, grinding, coloring …etc) to measure the different characteristics like viscosity, density, fineness and so on. 

3- Finished Product Lab

Inspections, tests, and laboratory measurements are carried out on a sample that represents the finished product to ensure it’s conformity with the specified requirements (technical characteristics, customer requirements,…etc) before delivering it to the end user. In addition, tests on a regular basis are performed on stored products to ensure consistent quality measures.

4- Research and Development Lab

Here the product design, development and relevant researches, as well as the manufacturing processes are carried out in collaboration with PPG by highly qualified and competent design professionals to ensure:

• The product meets the predetermined specifications.
• Product performance at its best.
• Product characteristics are constantly being improved and developed and;
• Product functions to keep up with cutting-edge technology

5- Color control Lab

Paints are considered decorative products, so the company is committed to providing the resources needed to keep up with the latest international techniques of color evaluation, such as cabins for comparing colors by gazing, as well as the most recent, High-Tec devices to measure and compare color schemes BYK-MAC, x-rite to ensure high-accuracy results.
