Color labs are outfitted with laboratory size equipment that simulates the larger machines used for production internally and by their customers. Typical processing equipment found in the lab are small extruders, two-roll mills, ban-burry mills, and media mills. Small rotational, injection and blow molding machines are used to duplicate the customers process. Instruments and computers are required for testing physical properties and color. Most labs have a computer-controlled color measuring system and a light booth to evaluate color. The spectrophotometer with computer is initially used to assist in colorant formulation and later as a quality control (QC) tool to provide certification of the quahty of match to standard. The light booth provides a standardized set of conditions to visually observe color and appearance. 

Add the components in the order shown using a low speed disperser with a gentle vortex. Adjust to pH 7.5 using ammonia prior to adding polymer emulsion. The material should be allowed to stand overnight before testing physical properties. 

Incoming adhesive material control includes two types of tests, physical properties, such as percent flow, gel time, and percent volatiles, which are of interest to the process engineer in assuring the quality of the bond. An example is the test for percent flow. This test is of value in maintaining the bonding process so that the adhesive flow is not be too high, which could cause an adhesive-starved bond. Too little flow, on the other hand, would cause a thick or inadequately filled bond [6]. Test methods used for physical properties include the following ...
