TQC Sheen Resistivity Gauge For Coatings

Accurate resistivity testing for electrostatic coatings

The TQC Sheen Resistivity Gauge for Coatings offers a simple and effective solution for checking the electrical properties of paints and coatings used in electrostatic spray applications. By providing precise resistivity readings, the gauge helps manufacturers ensure their coatings are optimally formulated for consistent atomization and adhesion during electrostatic application.

Reliable performance for quality control and formulation

This compact analogue instrument delivers direct resistivity readings through a calibrated probe, which is immersed in the coating sample to a defined depth. Two clear scales make interpretation straightforward—one in Ohmic (Ω) values familiar to paint manufacturers, and another indicating High, Sprayable, and Low ranges for fast sprayability assessment.

The device is invaluable for monitoring changes in paint resistivity caused by storage or temperature variations and is a trusted companion for R&D, formulation, and production environments. Paint manufacturers can also fine-tune resistivity by adjusting solvents or base materials, ensuring coatings meet ideal electrostatic properties.

Durable, simple, and ready to use

Supplied with a rugged, powder-coated enclosure and an easy-to-clean probe, the TQC Sheen Resistivity Gauge is designed for daily use in industrial environments. Calibration options – uncalibrated or certified – are available to meet your internal quality requirements.

The device comes complete with a meter, test probe, carrying case, calibration certificate (if selected), and user instructions, ensuring it’s ready to measure right out of the box.
