Product Development

Raabe’s state-of-the-art 3,000 square foot laboratory encompasses Research and Development and Quality Control. Raabe employs eight scientists and technicians with almost 150 years of combined Raabe experience and over 200 years of experience in the paint and coatings industry. Our expertise covers most coatings industries including: water-borne and solvent-borne coatings; color matching; and aerosol coatings.

We have assisted many large coatings and hobby and craft manufacturers in developing platforms and products. To ensure long-term stability of your product, we perform extensive laboratory testing on all initial orders. We also perform stability testing any time there is a change in the product’s formulation. The testing process includes formula review and accelerated shelf-life tests. Raabe guarantees your products will be free from manufacturing defects. Once a product is developed and tested, it is evaluated by our quality team, guaranteeing that it meets the highest standards for performance and regulatory compliance.

Our expertise also extends to the development and review of product labeling. Regulations pertaining to warnings, hazards and health can be confusing. Raabe can help you develop your product·label so it meets compliance regulations.
