Our Laboratory

Quality Assurance Department

Kataline’s state of the art NABL accredited laboratory is the cornerstone of our commitment to quality and innovation. Every batch of material undergoes meticulous testing to ensure it meets the highest standards. Equipped with cutting edge technology, our laboratory enables advanced research and the development of products that address the evolving challenges of road safety. By collaborating with esteemed research institutes such as CRRI, we continuously refine our solutions to create safer and more efficient road systems.

We specialise in a wide range of products, including Thermoplastic, Cold Applied Plastic, Raised Pavement Markers, Aggregate Based Surfacing, Anti Carbonation Paints, Water Based Paints, Night Glow Paints, Reflective Paints, and specialised Road Marking Equipment. As a manufacturer with extensive experience in application, we have a deep understanding of onground requirements, which directly informs and enhances our formulations.

Our focus on blackspot elimination, junction safety, lane adherence, structure protection, nighttime visibility enhancement, and understanding driver behaviour all play key roles in our mission to improve mobility and traffic safety. These innovations help us lead the way in changing driving habits and creating road systems that are safer for all.

Material Testing

Our labs perform extensive testing on all of the raw materials that go into our paints. This includes testing the quality and consistency of pigments, resins, and additives. We also test for factors such as adhesion, viscosity, and drying time to ensure that our paints perform as expected.

Performance Testing

Once our paints are formulated, we subject them to a battery of performance tests. These tests include evaluations of reflectivity, abrasion resistance, and weathering durability. We also test our paints in a variety of real-world conditions to ensure that they meet the demands of different climates and road types.

Research and Development

Our laboratories are constantly working on new formulations and technologies to improve the performance of our road marking paints. We invest heavily in research and development to stay at the forefront of the industry and to ensure that our customers have access to the latest innovations in road marking paint technology.
