Cobar Europe BV has implemented state-of-the-art QC testing and laboratory routines designed to yield more precise data for customers.

Eli Westerlaken, president and CEO, said, "As part of our continuous drive towards quality improvements and batch-to-batch reduction of variation of QC data, we have reviewed some of our lab routines and have improved them, to keep up with current methodologies being adopted across the industry. The result, we're pleased to say, has been improved reproducibility of testing routines such as acid number titration."

Westerlaken added that the titration routine, for example, will marginally change the measuring range of some of the company's products, but does not signal or reflect any change in raw material properties, product formulas or manufacturing methods.

"Our Cobar products remain unchanged; our SPC data will be more precise, however. Near-term, in some cases, users will see a small and temporary change in parameters such as Six Sigma numbers and Cpk values. In the long run, these improved routines will mean more verifiable data..."
