Description
Efficient Bend Testing for Coating Elasticity
The TQC Sheen Conical Bend Test is a precise and user-friendly instrument designed to evaluate the elasticity or resistance of coatings, paints, or varnishes to cracking and detachment. It conforms to ISO 6860 and ASTM D522 standards, making it ideal for laboratory quality control and product development.
Basic vs. Pro Models
Available in Basic and Pro versions, the instrument offers flexible testing options. The Basic model features screw-down clamping knobs, while the Pro model allows for fast, tool-free clamping via a lever handle for greater efficiency.
Wide Range of Testing
This bend tester uses a conical mandrel ranging from 3.1 to 38 mm diameter, allowing a full elasticity range to be examined in a single test. It’s particularly valuable in industries like automotive, coatings, and ink formulation where surface flexibility and durability are critical.
