TQC Sheen Can Holder

The Can Holder accessory is a useful tool to allow users be able to hold a wide-range of cans or cylindrical samples with their Scrub Abrasion and Washability tester. Ideally combined with the MEK Tester, so users can carry out solvent and chemical resistance of their can’s coatings.

Description

Versatile testing for can or component coatings

The TQC Sheen Can Holder is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Scrub Abrasion & Washability Tester, making it the perfect solution for testing rounded or cylindrical samples, components, or can types.

Designed for the can-making industry, it enables precise assessment of coating durability on 2-piece and 3-piece cans. Beyond cans, it’s ideal for any industry requiring performance verification of coatings on cylindrical objects – such as tubes, rounded components, or specialty parts in aerospace, automotive, defense, and industrial applications.

Simply discuss the types of components you need to test with a member of our team to ensure you have the correct tools for your testing needs.

Precision Holding for Cans & Cylindrical Components

Our Can Holder ensures samples are securely and safely clamped during abrasion and washability tests. At its core is a precision-engineered frame that prevents movement – even under the most demanding conditions. From beverage cans to critical industrial parts, you can trust a stable, consistent testing setup every time.

Combine the Can Holder with the MEK Tester Pro

Pair the Can Holder with the MEK Tester Pro, a purpose-built accessory for evaluating chemical resistance, durability, and coating performance. Together, they deliver a reliable, automated solution for friction, abrasion, and chemical resistance testing, ensuring your samples remain secure throughout the process.

Why choose the Can Holder?

  • Reduce Testing Variability: Secure clamping minimizes movement, improving confidence in coating integrity.
  • Built for Demanding Industries: Supports R&D, product development, and quality control across sectors – from can manufacturing to aerospace and automotive.
  • Seamless Integration: Works with the Scrub Abrasion & Washability Tester and the MEK Tester for precise, automated abrasion and chemical resistance testing.
