Feb 6, 2006
Products capable of meeting all coatings inspection requirements involving aluminium substrates, measuring characterisitics such as abrasion, adhesion, elasticity and deformation of the coating.
Elcometer are able to provide a total solution for all your coatings inspection requirements involving aluminium substrates.
The complete range of test equipment manufactured by Elcometer provides the choice to give you peace of mind, whatever your application.
Whether you are developing a new coating in the laboratory, applying a coating on the production line or undertaking end-of-line testing, Elcometer manufactures a complete range of products to provide a total inspection solution.
Inspection of a coating is not restricted to post application.
During a coating's development, where aluminium test panels are used, Elcometer's instruments are used to ensure the finished product - be it a can, a car, an aeroplane or an appliance - is of the best quality.
Abrasion, adhesion, elasticity and deformation of the coating are just some of the properties that can be tested with Elcometer products.
An international manufacturer of aluminium cans, for example, uses an Elcometer 1720 Washability Tester to apply acetone to their coated cans.
This provides a repeatable, accurate and reliable test method to ensure their cans will withstand shipping, loading, stacking and shelving in order to reach their customers in perfect condition.
In the automotive industry, where aluminium is growing in popularity especially with executive cars, our range of dry film thickness gauges are widely used to accurately measure coating thickness on both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Measuring gloss and colour on coated aluminium substrates is also an essential part of the quality control process and Elcometer can provide you with the equipment you need.
Through every step of the process from the laboratory, on the production line or at end-of-line testing, Elcometer has the solution for all your inspection needs.
