Application Engineering & Service
Practical. Analytical. Solution-Oriented.
Application engineering is at the core of NABU. This is where we develop, test, and optimize our products – always with a focus on your real production environment. Our experts support you from initial analysis through to long-term process optimization.
On-Site Support & Process Analysis
- On-site assessments directly in your plant
- Evaluation of existing pretreatment processes
- Recommendations for improving efficiency and quality
- Support during new implementations and process transitions
Even after commissioning, our chemists remain at your side for ongoing support.
Laboratory & Technical Center
Analytical expertise ensures process reliability. In our in-house laboratory and technical center, we simulate real customer processes, analyze bath samples, and test coating systems under practical conditions. Our services include:
- Analysis of your bath samples
- Adhesion testing (e.g. cross-cut test according to DIN EN ISO 2409)
- Impact resistance testing (ASTM D 2794)
- Boiling water test
- Salt spray testing (NSS, AASS) according to DIN EN ISO 9227
- Filiform corrosion testing
- Condensation climate test according to DIN EN ISO 6270-2
This allows us to identify optimization potential at an early stage and ensure reproducible results.
Trial Treatments
Prior to product implementation, we carry out trial treatments in our technical center, including coating application. The components are then subjected to comprehensive corrosion and adhesion testing – ensuring maximum reliability before integration into your production.
Training & Knowledge Transfer
We provide training for your employees:
- On site at your facility
- At our laboratory and technical center in Stulln
- In customized workshops on analytics and bath control
- In seminars on current topics in surface pretreatment
Well-trained personnel are a key factor for stable and reliable processes.
Sustainability & Recycling
Responsible use of resources is an integral part of our approach:
- Return of IBCs via manufacturer take-back systems
- Return of additional packaging upon agreement
- Consulting on waste reduction and resource-efficient processes
