Reference: CC1000 /-2000 /-3000

Cross cut CC1000 / -2000 / -3000

Simple method of evaluating the adhesion of a paint or a coating to its support by making 2 series of perpendicular incisions and observing the number of squares detached after brushing and application of a standardized adhesive.

Crockmeter 418

Manual model allowing the evaluation of color transfer, bleeding and abrasion resulting from the dry or wet friction of textile materials (fabric, carpet, leather, etc.) against other flat surfaces. It can also be used to perform smear tests of images printed by a printer or copier.

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.

Taber Rigidimeters 150/112/108

Precisely measure the rigidity, flexural strength, resilience and elasticity of paper, cardboard, plastics, metal foils, textiles, rubbers, threads, tubes, felts, etc.

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 °.

AB6000 Wet Abrasimeter

Used to conduct dry or wet abrasion and washability tests on flat specimens to determine the resistance of paints, varnishes and coatings to dry or wet rubbing wear. Also suitable for testing the resistance of plastics (melamine worktops, household appliances, etc.) by simulating the daily action of brushes, sponges and abrasive pads, as well as the...
