Shore hardness test
SHORE hardness measurements consist in evaluating the resistance of thermoplastics and elastomers to the penetration of an indenter applied to the surface. |
|
Cross hatch cutters
Cross hatch cutters are used to test the adhesion of a coating on a support. The surface of the coating is cross-hatched and the adhesion is measured in relation to the lamination a standard adhesive. |
|
Sclerometer
The sclerometer is used to determine the resistance of coatings, varnishes, plastics or similar products to penetration by scratching. |
|
Buchholz indentation test
Buchholz indentation is used to test the surface hardness of films of paint and varnish, by placing on the coating on a beveled wheel under a load. The size of the footprint determines the hardness of the coating. |
|
Adhesion test
The adhesion test measures the force required to laminate a coating surface from its support by hydraulic pressure. |
|
Conical mandrel test
The conical mandrel test is used to test the elasticity, adhesion and elongation of a coating on a metallic substrate by observing the cracks in the coating resulting from the deformation. |
|
Tubular impact test
The tubular impact test is used to test the resistivity and flexibility of coatings by observing the impact of a weight of 1kg on a sample. |
|
Pendulum hardness
The pendulum hardness test is based on the principle that the amplitude of the oscillation of a pendulum resting on a surface decreases more rapidly if the surface is soft. |
|
Slow cupping test
The cupping test is used to test the resistivity of coatings to deformation by cupping. |
|
Wegner impact test
The Wegner impact test is used to test the impact resistance of enamel surfaces, lacquered and/or laminated furniture wood by studying the fall of a ball on the coating. |
