Adhesion Tester For Paint

In the paint and coating industries paint adhesion testing is often used to determine if the paint or coating will adhere properly to the substrates to which they are applied.

Adhesion tester for paint.

An ergonomic test kit to assess the quantity and size of dust particles on blast cleaned surfaces prior to painting. The availability of a full range of pull off adhesion tester models facilitates the measurement of coating adhesion on almost any rigid substrate. Cross cut test scrape adhesion pull off test and others. Adhesion testing after the coating process will quantify the strength of the bond between substrate and coating or between different coating layers or the cohesive strength of some substrates.

At ats we also offer coating failure analysis testing working with various industries including but not limited to automotive military nuclear textile consumer products and government infrastructure. There are several different tests to measure the resistance of paints and coatings from substrates. For example 20 mm dollies may be ideal for typical coating bond strengths on metal plastic and wood where as 50 mm dollies are more ideal for coatings on masonry substrates such as concrete. Paint adhesion testing determines what the minimum amount of duress required is to cause the adhesion to fail.

Cross hatch adhesion testers are a fast low cost visual comparison method for paint and powder coatings up to a thickness of 250µm 10mils in order to evaluate the coating adhesion.
