Onsite Lab Testing

Columbus Industries Laboratory Testing Facility

Columbus Industries, a leader in paint overspray collection, is committed to supporting its Distribution Partners, including the value added service of a “No Charge” laboratory testing facility. The primary function of the laboratory is to provide Efficiency and Holding Capacity data for ASHRAE Dust (Standard 52.1), liquid and powder coatings. Additionally, the laboratory performs various physical testing at the request of its partners.

“We encourage those involved in overspray to test our products with their actual coatings. There are many misleading statistics out there regarding overspray performance, and our lab will hopefully provide truthful, accurate performance data,” says Dane Wiese, Regional Sales Manager. “We’ll actually prove that our products are better than what is currently available, and if it’s not, we’ll tell the user,” added Wiese.

Columbus Industries feels its internal testing facility provides accurate results relevant to the users, which will facilitate planning and future cost expenditures for those involved in liquid and powder coatings.

Columbus Industries is celebrating its 40th year in the filtration industry. The company has two divisions, which offer innovative solutions in a variety of industries, from paint filtration and appliance filters, to HVAC and air purification.
