Film Drying Time Tester

The paint film drying time tester applies pressure or scratches on the coating surface through mechanical or electronic means to determine the drying stage based on changes in the coating's resistance to adhesion, surface drying, and thorough drying. It is used to monitor the drying rate during paint production and application processes, ensuring compatibility with coating techniques.
Selection
When selecting, consider the type of coating to be tested (water-based/solvent-based), the drying method (natural/baking), and ensure the instrument matches the corresponding testing standards (e.g., GB/T 1728). Mechanical types are suitable for on-site quick judgments, while electronic types are better for recording data. Pay attention to the compatibility of the indentation device material with the coating hardness, and choose temperature and humidity control functions based on the experimental environment.
