Opacity & Covering Power Tester

The hiding power tester measures the minimum coating amount required for the paint to completely cover the substrate by comparing the reflectance differences between the coating and a standard black-and-white grid plate. It is used to evaluate the hiding performance of coatings, guiding production formulation and controlling application thickness.
