The TQC Sheen Master Paint Plate Multitester (SP3000) is a portable stainless steel cross cut adhesion test kit for coating QC to ISO 2409, ASTM D3359 and GOST 15140 - with built-in wet film applicator (0-180 µm), edge rounding check, and viscosity leveling test.

TQC Sheen Cross Cut Adhesion Test Kits assess coating adhesion by cutting a lattice pattern through a dry paint or coating film and classifying how much material lifts. Three cutter series (CC1000 multi-cutter with eight round edges, CC2000 single cutter, CC3000 depth-adjustable wheel-guided cutter) work with a full range of blades covering coating thicknesses from 0 to 250 µm on hard or soft substrates. Used by paints and coatings laboratories, industrial paint QC teams, automotive coating suppliers and coating applicators, the kits classify results to ISO 2409:2020, ASTM D3359-23 and GOST 15140 - portable, no power required, results in minutes.

The TQC Sheen PosiTector 6000 Coating Thickness Gauge is a rugged, weatherproof gauge built for paints and coatings QC laboratories and industrial coating applicators who need reliable readings in busy production environments or harsh field conditions. Using magnetic and eddy current principles, it automatically recognizes ferrous substrates (steel, cast iron) and non-ferrous substrates (aluminum, copper) and measures coating thickness accordingly - no manual substrate selection required. Choose the Standard model for everyday thickness verification, or the Advanced model for compliance-mode measurement, batch data management and wireless connectivity.

The TQC Sheen SuperPIG III is a handheld destructive coating thickness gauge for measuring dry film thickness on single and multi-coat systems across virtually any substrate - wood, metal, or plastic. Used by quality, R&D, and operations teams in coatings laboratories, automotive manufacturing, marine and protective coatings, and industrial paint production, it combines a 50x built-in microscope with a revolving cutter system to deliver on-site readings from 2 to 1800 microns.

This handy dust test kit offers a straightforward method for assessing the quantity and size of dust particles on surfaces prepared for painting.  

The TQC Sheen Colorbox LED is an illuminated color assessment cabinet that lets quality and R&D teams inspect and color match paints, inks, plastics, textiles, paper, cosmetics and other materials under controlled, repeatable LED lighting. Switch instantly between D65 daylight, D50, TL84 store light, incandescent A and UV sources to confirm color matches and expose metamerism before product ships. Built-in runtime counters track each lamp group, and the cabinet is available in a 60 cm model and a 120 cm model to suit different sample sizes.

The TQC Sheen Compact Automatic Film Applicator gives you a reliable and repeatable basis to apply coating and paint films to test charts, panels or foils. Use it to prepare samples for laboratory tests of gloss, hiding power and abrasion resistance.

The Automatic film applicator provides a reliable basis to apply coating films to test charts, panels or foils. A heated model is also available.

Check the wet film thickness of freshly applied paint on-site with the TQC Sheen Wet Film Measuring Comb - a pocket-sized, 4-sided aluminum notch gauge covering 25-2000 μm in 30 steps, per GOST R 51688 and ISO 2808. Dispatched within 2 days.

Our handy wet film thickness gauges accurately measure a coating’s thickness immediately after it’s been applied to a substrate.

Our precise Conical Bend Test instruments offer an easy way to determine the elasticity or resistance of a coating, paint or varnish. This conical mandrel is an efficient and affordable piece of testing equipment for bend resistance, perfect for many laboratories and set ups.

When you need to measure the adhesion of coatings applied to metal, wood, concrete and similar substrates, the PosiTest Pull-off Adhesion Testers are the ideal solution.

The TQC Sheen DewCheck 4 Series 2 measures relative humidity, ambient temperature, surface temperature and dewpoint in a single handheld instrument. Used by coating inspectors across marine, construction, steel and industrial coatings applications, compliant with ISO 8502-4 and ASTM D3276-07.

The TQC Sheen Krebs Viscometer DV2300 is a digital rotational viscometer that measures paint and coating viscosity using the KREBS method - a paddle rotating at a constant 200 rpm in a fixed volume of sample. It converts torque into three simultaneous outputs: Krebs units (KU), centipoise (cP) and grams (g), with automatic unit conversion shown on the LCD display. Used by paints and coatings QC laboratories, paint manufacturers, automotive OEM coating suppliers, printing ink producers, adhesive manufacturers and cosmetics QC labs, the DV2300 supports ASTM D562 Krebs-unit specifications alongside direct viscosity readings for a wide range of Newtonian and near-Newtonian fluids.

Our TQC Sheen Adhesion Test Tape (ISO 2409:1999) is fiber reinforced and helps you to meet the requirements of international testing standards.
