Drying Time Recorder
 

Introduction

A reliable apparatus to test the drying time or gelation behaviour of many paints and coatings, applied onto a glass strip of 300 x 25 mm (12” x 1”) by means of our cube applicator. Hemispherical needles travel on these test tracks, over a selected time: 6, 12 or 24 h. The drying time stages can be easily assessed with the graduation scale (according to traverse speed configuration):

1. Evaporation of solvent: deep pear-shaped impression
2. Sol-gel transition: continuous track
3. Surface dry: interrupted track
4. Final dry time, the needle no longer penetrates the film
