A reliable apparatus to test the drying time or gelation behavior of many paints and coatings, applied onto a glass strip of 300 x 25 mm (12 x 1) by means of our cube applicator.
Hemispherical needles travel on these test tracks, over a selected time: 6, 12 or 24 h. The drying time stages can be easily assessed with the graduation scale (according to traverse speed configuration):
- Evaporation of solvent: deep pear-shaped impression
- Sol-gel transition: continuous track
- Surface dry: interrupted track
- Final dry time, the needle no longer penetrates the film
