Volontà Lab
Volontà’s R&D laboratory brings together the combined experience of Italian, American, French, and Spanish coating formulators, creating a unique technical environment where different schools of chemistry, application methods, and market approaches converge. This diversity of know-how allows us to develop versatile, reliable, and forward-looking solutions.
By integrating international expertise with a deep understanding of local and global market requirements, Volontà is able to offer a wide and comprehensive range of products, designed to meet the needs of all sectors and applications. Our laboratory is structured to respond quickly to new challenges, supporting customers with solutions that balance performance, innovation, and sustainability across every market segment.
Strategical Partnership
Volontà Lab works in close partnership with leading manufacturers of coating and application equipment, giving us access to the most widely used systems in the industry for coating wood and other substrates. This collaborative approach allows us to test and validate our formulations under a broad range of real production conditions.
Through these strategic partnerships, we are able to support our clients from the earliest project stages, advising on the most suitable system configurations to optimise performance, efficiency, and investment returns. The result is a fully integrated solution that ensures reliable results, process optimisation, and long-term customer satisfaction.
CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
We carry out in-depth chemical analysis of coatings in their liquid state, carefully assessing and optimising formulations at every stage. Through a scientifically rigorous approach, we evaluate the consistency, compatibility, and quality of each individual component to ensure reliable and reproducible performance.
Our work is supported by advanced analytical technologies, including differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectrophotometry with microscope, UV–VIS spectrophotometry, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry with autosampler, high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detector, and gas chromatography with flame ionization detector.
CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL TESTS
Chemical and physical performance testing is carried out through a network of qualified partner laboratories and certifying bodies worldwide. Through established collaborations in Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States, we are able to evaluate coated products under controlled and internationally recognised testing standards.
During product development, these partnerships allow us to verify technical performance, improve reliability, and prevent potential issues in real-world applications. Customers can also request specific tests on their finished products, gaining independent and objective validation of performance and compliance for different markets.
