TQC Sheen Wet Film Thickness Gauges

Designed and developed by TQC Sheen, our specialist coatings testing brand, our wet film thickness testers are ideal for testing the thickness of paints, resins, lacquers, varnishes and gels.   

These helpful film thickness gauges are hexagonal / octagonal precision measuring combs, made from high grade stainless steel. They feature a series of notches like the teeth on a comb.
