Pigment Drying Time Recorder

The paint drying time tester moves a mechanical stylus or optical sensor over the coating surface to record the transition time from liquid to solid. It is used to monitor the curing speed of coatings and inks, guiding production processes and controlling construction intervals.
Selection
Select between contact or non-contact models based on the viscosity of the material being tested; match the actual drying environment temperature range; consider substrate compatibility; confirm that the data output method interfaces with the existing recording system; verify the validity of the calibration certificate from the metrology organization.
