Even application  of coating defined film thickness Applies coatings of even thickness on specimen panels.

The centrifugal paint-film applicator, Model 334 Smart is a bench mounted instrument, consisting of a sheet metal housing, touch panel, specimen holder with collecting trough and protective hood. The speed and the application time are continuously variable between (100 – 2,000)min-1 and (0 – 999)s. The selected speed is shown on the touch panel. At the end of the preset centrifugation time the applicator switches off automatically and the specimen can be taken out of the holder.

Purpose and application: The Model 334 Smart centrifugal paint-film applicator is used for producing uniform coats on test panels (edge length: 80 to 200 mm) for testing purposes. The advantages of this application method are the affordability (time savings) and its outstanding accuracy and reproducibility. This device is very helpful when extremely thin coatings require high coating thickness constancy.

Duplex film applicator for film widths 80/120/180/230 mm. Made of corrosion resistant steel. The two gaps can be chosen as desired from the range 15 – 2000 microns.

24 test card versions available, in different sizes, patterns and colourings, including special penetration cards for watery systems.  Test charts to determine the hiding power and contrast ratio of pigmented systems in organic solvents.

A robust instrument for gauging the degree of fineness-of-grind of liquid dispersions of pigments in the range 0 -15/25/50/100 microns. The substance is filled into the wedge-shaped grooves and drawn down with a blade. Rippling occurs at the point where pigments particles are bigger than the depth of the groove measured in microns.

For rapid determination of density of liquids. A sphere of volume 100 or 10 ml is immersed in a beaker the contents of which have been previously weighed. The increase in liquid level given in gms corresponds with 100 or 10 x the value of the density. The equipment is easily cleaned after use.

To measure the density of coating materials and similar liquids. Robust and light weight design, made of black anodized aluminium or stainless steel. Available for 50 or 100 ml capacity.  Can also be provided with certification from the official Bureau of Weights & Measures (EICHAMT) .

Software for rapid conversion between viscosity and efflux time, for use with standardized flow cups. Converts between dynamic and kinematic viscosity. Clearly arranged graphics, easy to use.

For rapid conversion between different viscosity units (ASTM seconds, DIN seconds, cSt, Engler degrees, Krebs-Stormer units, Gardner-Holdt units) at defined temperatures (ICI Scale for the viscosity/temperature relationship).

Parallel strips of wet film are applied to a substrate using a special paint applicator frame made of stainless steel and featuring slots of various heights. The sag tendency is determined in a vertical flow test, the levelling tendency is ascertained when the specimen is horizontal. The specimen panel is examined visually after the coating has hardened.

Rapid determination of the viscosity of any type of fluid, as for instance paint, varnish, wet enamel, photogravure ink, dye and lacquer for leather, oil, fat, foodstuff etc. Particularly suitable in the workshop. Simple Dip Flow Cup, available in five sizes as a set or individually.
