Metal Coating Mock-Ups: Include the Final Fabrication Sequence

Cutting, forming and finishing after a sample is approved can create a different surface from the one originally evaluated.

Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge

Practical approach

Make the mock-up represent the actual production sequence, or review the later operations explicitly.

A flat treated sheet that is subsequently formed is not the same process as coating an already formed panel.

Decision limits

Do not extend approval across a changed sequence without checking appearance, compatibility and handling.

Discuss the intended surface with NANOLAB. Use the current product documentation for formulation-specific instructions.
