Boost accuracy and repeatability withthe new CE-certified Gardner Gel Timers, specifically engineered to determine the gel time of various materials such as resinous plastics, epoxy resins, adhesives, drying oils, FRP, two-component elastomers and paints.
With greater flexibility than limited traditional equipment, modern, multi-functional instruments can ensure reliable coating performance by measuring critical characteristics like friction, peel, wear, and scratch resistance.
The new test kit provides a complete solution for evaluating the environmental conditions prior to painting, as well as measuring the dry film thickness of the coating after application in accordance with SSPC PA-2.
The tester can be used in automotive materials, building and construction, paint and coatings, plastics and polymers, and composites applications. As a screening tool, the tester can generate five years of UV exposure in 10 days, which would both save money on R&D, and cut time to market for new products.
The TQC Sheen Amine Blush Detection Kit, used for surface analysis of protective coatings for amine exudate (blush), is now available from KTA-Tator, Inc. (KTA).
Thermal Product Solutions LLC (TPS), provider of thermal processing products and test solutions, announced the acquisition of Redline Chambers, an American manufacturer of vacuum chambers and systems for the aerospace, defense, energy, electronics, and medical industries.
