Measuring comb / Wet-film gauge

Short description:

The hexagonal stainless steel measuring comb determines the wet film thickness of freshly applied coatings in a single step and prevents costly over-application.

Key Features

  • Measurement ranges from 5 to 2,000 µm in a single tool
  • Easy to read: first tooth touched by the solution = film thickness
  • Temperature-resistant up to 60 °C (plastic version)
  • Durable, solvent-resistant design

Automatic film stretching machine

Short description:

The microprocessor-controlled film coating machine applies coatings at a constant speed and with a defined pressure—the basis for 100% reproducible test films.

Key Features

  • Digital adjustment of stroke, start/stop, and speed (2–50 mm/s)
  • Integrated vacuum plate or glass bed, removable without tools
  • Flexible A4/A3 vacuum frame – no tape required
  • Safety package with emergency stop and proximity sensors
  • Optional heated plate up to +100 °C

Washability Tester 903 PG

Short description:

Four independent cleaning heads simulate real-world cleaning conditions while allowing for up to three test samples at a time. The stroke rate, weight, and counter settings can be freely selected—ideal for interior paints, wallpaper, or carpets.

Key Features

  • 300–1,000 g head weight (in 100-g increments)
  • 5 speeds (20–37 strokes per minute)
  • 5-digit preset counter for unattended testing
  • Can be expanded to include an automatic stroke counter

Grid Checker

Short description:

The cross-cut tester evaluates the adhesion of paint coatings on various substrates in accordance with DIN EN ISO 2409 and ASTM D3359. The movable cutting head ensures consistent cuts every time.

Key Features

  • Indexable inserts made of high-alloy tool steel
  • 1 / 2 / 3 mm cutting intervals for coating thicknesses of 0–250 µm
  • Hexagonal or single-edge design; up to 11 blades per ASTM
  • Includes magnifying glass, brush, and adhesive tape

Grindometer

Short description:

The steel block with two wedge-shaped grooves directly displays the degree of dispersion in micrometers or Hegman units—an indispensable tool in paint, pigment, and printing ink laboratories.

Key Features

  • Measurement ranges: 0–15 / 25 / 50 / 100 µm
  • Hegman Scale 0–8 (higher value = finer particles)
  • Precision hair comb included
  • Standards: ASTM D1210, DIN EN ISO 1524

Vacumatic – Vacuum Sealing System

Short description:

With Vacumatic, you can seal 1–2.5 kg vacuum containers airtight at the push of a button—without any adjustments—in a stainless steel housing designed for daily use.

Key Features

  • Automatic time/vacuum control for reproducible results
  • Countertop unit, 48.5 × 34 × 26 cm, weighs only 20 kg
  • 230 V / 0.38 kVA, CE-compliant
  • Suitable for 1 kg and 2.5 kg tin cans
