There are several different tests to measure the resistance of paints and coatings from substrates.
Adhesion tester for paint.
The coating is cut into small squares thereby reducing lateral bonding and the coating adhesion assessed against iso astm or corporate standards.
A range of fast low cost visual comparison testers for paint and powder coatings up to a thickness of 250μm 10mils.
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.
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.
Cross cut test scrape adhesion pull off test and others.
Pull off adhesion tester now digital measures adhesion of coatings to metal wood concrete other 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.
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.
The availability of a full range of pull off adhesion tester models facilitates the measurement of coating adhesion on almost any rigid substrate.
