Spray Sag Tester

The spray sag tester is used to evaluate the resistance of coatings to sagging when applied on vertical surfaces. Its principle involves applying the coating onto a standard test panel, positioning it vertically, and then observing the length of the flow marks. Its function is to assess the leveling properties and anti-sagging capability of coatings, and it is applied in the development of coating formulations and quality control processes.
Selection
When selecting, focus on the measurement range covering common sag lengths and accuracy meeting industry standards. Consider substrate adaptability, supporting different thickness gauges. The operation interface should be simple, equipped with lighting and reading assistance functions. The instrument structure should be sturdy, with a leveling adjustment device to ensure testing stability.
