The TQC Sheen Drying Time Recorder AB3600 is a Beck-Koller drying time recorder for paints, coatings, adhesives and similar fluids. Six parallel tracks capture the full drying curve from set-to-touch through to through-dry, with a range of 1 minute to 200 hours per test and better than 1 percent time accuracy. Used by paints and coatings QC laboratories, paint manufacturers, printing ink producers, adhesive manufacturers and cosmetics QC labs, the AB3600 supports ASTM D5895, ISO 9117-4 and DIN EN 14022. A lubricant-free drive system and heated display work reliably across a -20°C to +70°C operating range.

The CMC-KUHNKE Beverage Seam Saw AGS-2300 safely and precisely cuts double seams for 200-300 body range cans and 200-211 ends, producing clean samples for reliable double seam inspection.

This TQC Film Thickness Gauge is a high precision film and foil thickness gauge designed to offer accurate measurements quickly and easily.  

The TQC Sheen Gel Strength Tester DV2400 measures yield strength and viscosity of thick paints, gels, putties, semi-solid materials and food products - the range of materials that fall outside the working range of conventional rotational viscometers. Used by paints and coatings QC laboratories, food producers (jams, jellies, dairy spreads), pharmaceutical and cosmetics QC labs (gels and ointments) and adhesive manufacturers, the DV2400 delivers reliable, repeatable yield-strength data via a rotating paddle spindle at 0.5-5.0 rpm. A four-line digital display with backlight, level adapter set, and interchangeable spindle range make it a straightforward addition to any QC workflow.

The TQC Sheen Hull Roughness Gauge (DC9000) measures Average Hull Roughness in microns to ±5μm accuracy - so ship operators, drydock surveyors and coating manufacturers can quantify hull condition, predict drag and validate coating and cleaning investments.

An easy-to-use infrared thermometer that lets you measure surface temperature in all sorts of industrial settings. Measuring a range of -50 to +750°C, this handheld thermometer is perfect for hard-to-reach places.

A BINDER oven and heat chamber that offers high-precision temperature control for the testing of a range of inks, coatings, polymers and plastics. Capable of creating demanding heating profiles with ease.  

For analyzing the coating color water retention

The TQC Sheen Machu Test Bath (VF8700) is a temperature-controlled 11-litre corrosion test bath for Qualicoat and QIB accelerated weathering of coated aluminum and steel panels - 24 hours of Machu testing correlates with approximately 500 hours of conventional salt spray testing.

The TQC Sheen Manual Cupping Tester SP4400 measures the resistivity of coatings at various stages of deformation in accordance with ISO 1520 standards. 

Runnability analyzers for coating colors and pigment slurries. Next generation ACA AX-100 ultra-high shear viscometer for coating optimization.

ACA Permi is the best tool to balance your process stability and product quality. Online air permeability measurement from Permi monitors your process and quality factors so you can act on variation as it happens.

The Technidyne Powder Press Apparatus compacts loose mineral pigment into a uniform, solid puck for brightness and color measurement, giving you the repeatable sample geometry that TAPPI T534 and TAPPI T646 brightness methods depend on.

The TQC Pencil Hardness Test according to Wolff Wilborn gives you a simple but effective method to test the scratch hardness of coatings. 

Introducing the Technidyne Anglo Pulverizer, which crushes and grinds solid mineral pigments ready for further preparation, testing and analysis.

The TQC Sheen Pendulum Hardness Tester is a precise, easy-to-use instrument for measuring the hardness of paints and coatings using both König and Persoz methods. With automated pendulum positioning, intuitive LED feedback and USB data export, it delivers consistent, repeatable results for laboratories and quality control environments.

Verify how well your paint, varnish or coating film keeps moisture out with the TQC Sheen Permeability Cups - the gravimetric wet-cup and dry-cup method used in coating laboratories worldwide. Available to buy online with dispatch within 2 days.

The PosiTector Shore Hardness Durometer SHD probe was developed for shore hardness testing of medium to extra hard materials such as rubber, epoxies, plastics, PVC or acrylic. 

APP provides for correlation to be established by entering slope and intercept values obtained from a linear regression analysis from measurements obtained from two instruments.

APP that provides capability to measure Effective Residual Ink Concentration (ERIC950®) to ColorTouchX ISO

APP allows for Predicted Opacity as well as absorption and scattering data from Kubelka-Munk calculations.

The TQC Sheen PosiTest PC Powder Checker was developed to take fast and reliable measurements of uncured powder coatings to international standards. 

The TQC Sheen Pressure Density Cup was developed to provide highly accurate specific gravity measurements of a liquid’s density with a high level of repeatability.
