The adhesion strength of paint and coatings is crucial to enable the material to perform its basic functions of protection and decoration. Coating strength testing in the paint and coatings industry is necessary to ensure the quality and durability of products.
Elcometer 125 Waxed Surface Reference Plates are the reference standard for assessing the profile of a cleaned metal surface prior to painting or protective coating. The comparator allows a visual and tactile comparison of the profile of the wetted surface with four known profile values on the same plate. The Elcometer 125 is available in two versions, Grit (angular profiles produced by blasting with steel wool) and Shot (round profiles produced by blasting with steel balls). All profiles are recorded in microns and comply with international [...]
The Elcometer 506 Pull-Off Tensile Tester is lightweight, portable, easy to use and suitable for measuring the tensile strength of coatings up to 50MPa (7250psi) either in the field or in the laboratory.
The Elcometer 510 automatic 'pull-off' pull-off gauge accurately measures the adhesion strength of coatings on a wide range of substrates.
Thanks to its sturdy construction, this scraper tester is ideal for thin, thick or strong coatings on all surfaces. Ideal for field or laboratory testing.
