Cross cut tester PosiTest CH

Determines a coating's ability to resist separation from a substrate when a lattice pattern is cut into the coating in accordance with ISO 2409 and ASTM D3359.

Other Scratch Test Devices Taber

Certain models of abrasimeter can be equipped with scratching tools thus making it possible to carry out scratch tests on flat or 3D samples.

Multi-Finger Scratch Tester Taber 710

Initially developed to meet automotive specifications, this device is ideal for evaluating plastics, paints, floor coverings, etc. Five independent tungsten carbide tools mounted on more or less loaded sliding axes exert a vertical load on the sample to be tested, positioned on a table moving by pneumatic system.

Scratch Tester Taber 551

Determine the minimum load necessary for the appearance of a regular scratch on a rotating specimen.

Reference: SP1820 /-1830 /-1831

SP1820 / -1830 / -1831 bend testers

Determine the rate of elongation, elasticity, resistance to cracking and peeling of paints and varnishes on a metal support by winding around a cylindrical or conical mandrel.

Friction

The standard Wearaser support Ref. 130852 accepts Wearaser Ø ¼ ”abrasive tips (Ø 6.35 mm). Other abrasive tips available: - Wearaser Jumbo Ø ½ ”tips (Ø 12.7 mm, Wearaser Jumbo holder required) - Weardisc Ø ¾ ”discs (Ø 19 mm, universal support required)

Reference: PosiTest AT

PosiTest AT pull-off adhesion testers

Measure the force required to pull out by hydraulic traction a known diameter of coating on metal, wood, concrete and other rigid substrates.

Abrasive tip supports

4 models of abrasive tip supports are available: - Wearaser holder in stainless steel (98 g) Ref. 130852 (supplied as standard) - Aluminum Wearaser holder (28 g) Ref. 131852 - Wearaser plastic holder (16 g) Ref. 131852-1 - Wearaser Jumbo holder (43 g) Ref. 131862 (for Wearaser Jumbo Ø ½ ”abrasive tips).

Linear Abraser Heavy Duty Taber 5800

Abrasimeter designed to assess the properties of flat or profiled materials requiring an extended test load and stroke length, it is particularly suitable for testing the resistance of a coating to washing with a scouring pad.

Sample retention

Universal grooved table Ref. 133336 supplied with 2 pliers. Various plates and optional fixing systems for holding samples (textiles, magnetic strip cards, cables, etc.).

Abrasion tests on TB5000 metal cans

The CAT Comprehensive Abrasion Test is a universal testing machine for testing the abrasion resistance of coatings on beverage cans and flat materials. The reciprocating motion mimics abrasion damage to coatings during transport in the field. Equivalent to the Gavarti 'GV-CAT' system. The CAT abrasimeter is used for quality control in coating testing...

Wolff-Wilborn pencil hardness device VF2377 / -78 / -79

Used to assess the hardness and resistance of a coating to surface scratches by moving pencils of different hardness on its surface under a constant force at an angle of 45 °.

Sclerometers SP0010 / SP0015

Pocket devices for testing the hardness and scratch resistance of flat or curved surfaces (coatings, varnishes, plastics, etc.) carried out using a tungsten carbide tip Ø 1 mm on which is exerted a adjustable pressure.

Stripe

Stainless steel kit (98 g) Ref. 130575 or in aluminum (33 g) Ref. 131604 for scratch test comprising: - a fixing system - a 90 ° R76 µm conical diamond tool Ref. 121006 - a 90 ° R89 µm conical diamond tool Ref. 121006-1 - a 7X magnifier
