SKZ is honored to be a trusted equipment supplier to The Coca‑Cola Company – a Fortune 500 leader whose quality standards extend to every ingredient, package, and process. From the heat‑seal strength of PET bottle preforms to the thermal stability of adhesives used in label application and the curing behaviour of can coatings, temperature‑dependent material properties directly impact product safety, shelf life, and consumer experience. That is why Coca‑Cola’s R&D and quality control teams have integrated the SKZ1052 high‑precision thermal analyzer into their testing protocols. This advanced instrument delivers laboratory‑grade temperature measurement with 0.001°C resolution, covering a broad range from ambient to 550°C, and features automatic gas switching for reproducible oxidative or inert‑atmosphere experiments. Every unit we deliver is backed by our commitment to precision, reliability, and responsive service – turning a purchase into a lasting partnership. Our latest shipment reached Coca‑Cola facilities in early 2026, with more orders in the pipeline as adoption expands.
The SKZ1052 achieves an outstanding 0.001°C temperature resolution, enabling the detection of subtle thermal transitions that lower‑resolution instruments would miss. For Coca‑Cola’s material scientists, this precision is essential when characterising polymer melting points, glass transition temperatures, or crystallisation behaviour of packaging materials. Even minor variations in thermal properties can signal batch‑to‑batch inconsistencies or contamination – and the SKZ1052 captures these nuances with confidence, supporting data‑driven decisions that protect brand integrity.
With a measurement range spanning ambient (RT) to 550°C, the SKZ1052 accommodates a diverse array of thermal analysis applications. At the lower end, it evaluates soft materials like plastic films and elastomeric seals. At higher temperatures, it assesses the thermal stability of metallic can coatings, high‑temperature adhesives, and even ash‑content determination of organic ingredients. This versatility means Coca‑Cola can use a single instrument across multiple material types and test standards, simplifying lab equipment inventories and operator training.
Oxidative degradation or inert‑atmosphere testing often requires precise control of the purge gas. The SKZ1052 features automatic gas switching between nitrogen and oxygen, ensuring rapid, stable transitions without manual valve adjustments. This automation reduces operator error, improves test reproducibility, and accelerates throughput – critical in busy quality laboratories where time is money. For Coca‑Cola, this means consistent results whether testing the oxidation resistance of a new bottle resin or the thermal decomposition of a food‑contact coating.
The SKZ1052 is equipped with a 7‑inch colour touchscreen that presents real‑time temperature curves, gas status, and test parameters in a clear, user‑friendly interface. Operators can set up procedures, monitor runs, and export data with just a few taps – eliminating the steep learning curve associated with complex thermal analysis software. This intuitive design reduces training time and minimises operational errors, allowing Coca‑Cola’s lab staff to focus on interpreting results rather than wrestling with controls.
Global brands like Coca‑Cola require that all testing equipment meet recognised international standards to ensure data acceptance across regulatory jurisdictions. The SKZ1052 is fully compliant with ASTM, ISO, and CE requirements, covering methods for differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and related thermal characterisation techniques. This certification gives Coca‑Cola confidence that test results generated on SKZ1052 are defensible in audits, supplier qualification processes, and product registration submissions worldwide.
Coca‑Cola’s ambitious sustainability goals – including the use of rPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) and plant‑based packaging – demand rigorous thermal testing of new materials. The SKZ1052 helps their teams evaluate the melt processing windows, thermal stability, and aging behaviour of innovative materials, ensuring that sustainable alternatives perform as reliably as conventional ones. By enabling accurate, repeatable thermal analysis, the SKZ1052 contributes to both product safety and environmental responsibility.
Coca‑Cola’s continued trust in SKZ is a testament to our dedication to quality and innovation. Our latest shipments of SKZ1052 analyzers have been deployed across multiple R&D and QC laboratories, and order volumes are steadily rising as more sites adopt our thermal analysis solutions. At SKZ, our commitment never changes: high precision, robust build, and service that supports our customers every step of the way. Together with The Coca‑Cola Company, we are ensuring that every package, every coating, and every material meets the highest thermal performance standards – one measurement at a time.
