Cleaning and Packaging
Our production process thoroughly cleans the panels and removes any oil or contaminants that might be on the
surface. Steel panels are packed in plastic bags with vapor phase rust inhibitor and shipped in a sturdy card-
board carton. With this multilayer packaging, our steel panels may have a shelf life of up to 10 years. In most
cases the panels can be used right out of the package. However, for critical applications it may sometimes be
necessary to remove traces of the rust inhibitor with a distilled water or MEK wipe prior to coating the panel.
Quantity Discounts
Quantity discounts are available. Please consult with Q-Lab or your local representative for details.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
If the panels do not meet your expectations of quality, you may return them for a full refund or replacement. Just
call for a return authorization number. For other returns and replacements, a 15% restocking fee will be charged
($50 minimum). Q-Lab Corporation makes no other warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose, except as may be expressly provided by Q-Lab Corporation in writing. Q-Lab
