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.
The acquisition of Imaginant, a specialist for ultrasonic measuring equipment, will expand the company’s BYK division through patented technology for handheld and robotic measuring instruments.
Abrasion is one of the most important defects that deteriorates the durability of coatings. The goal of the research presented in this article was to achieve a good understanding of the effects of coating additives on the abrasion resistance of waterborne coatings.
Automotive painting is a challenging process, and requires each layer to be sprayed at the optimal thickness. Some leading-edge, ultrasonic thickness gauges can provide both the thickness measurement of each individual layer, and the total thickness measurement of several layers at once, making the process faster and easier.
In cooperation with EUROLACKE powder coatings, the company coatmaster AG has created a material database for the non-contact coating thickness gauge coatmaster Flex.
