Paint testers equipment which is used for determining the surface hardness of a paint and varnish coatings known with their respect to their scratch resistance capacity as this instrument is commonly used in laboratories for quality control and also for the experimental purposes for various fields like paint, varnish, and furniture and vehicle industry. The hardness of a paint or coating effects is judged according to the vulnerability to scratch damage particularly with sharp edges as it is measured according to the moh's law. The special features of this equipment are that it can be very effectively y used for smooth single coat and multi coat paints as these equipments are very much easy to handle as it requires negligible maintenance.These paint testers are very much made using steel and also gives reliable results as the process of determination of hardness is very much fast and the test can be conducted during production process. The scratch paint tester allows evaluating paint and coating adhesion in addition to resistance to shearing, scratching, gouging, marring, scraping and engraving a variety of flat, rigid specimen. These paint testers are very much handy, convenient and accurate. These testers are known for its simple peel back foil which also removes the brush for painting. These paint color testers suit the décor of the room with which it enables the person to visualize the color which would suit the interior very well. So it becomes extremely important for choosing the perfect paint which would enhance the décor of the room.
The types of paint testers are hand operated paint scratched hardness tester which is a test method used for determining the resistance of a paint film for penetration by scratching it with a needle and also used for applying increasing loads of the needle thus for determining the maximum load at which the coating is pulled or penetrated to the substrate.
