DIN 53232

Introducing DIN 53232– Industrial Physics

DIN 53232 is a national testing standard that helps you to evaluate the adhesion properties of paints, varnishes and similar coatings using the pull-off adhesion testing approach. 

DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V.), a German standardization body, has developed the use, rules, guidelines and characteristics of around 30,000 testing standards. 

What is pull-off adhesion testing?  

Pull-off adhesion testing is a useful paint testing method to measure the resistance of a coating to separation from a substrate, when a perpendicular tensile force is applied. There’s a range of substrate materials that this type of paint adhesion test is usually performed on, including metals, plastics, concrete, wood and glass. 

The pull-off adhesion test typically involves a digital or manual pull-off adhesion testing machine with a dolly.

So, how can Industrial Physics improve your DIN 53232 paint adhesion testing? 

TQC Sheen Automatic Cupping Tester 

The TQC Sheen Automatic Cupping Tester was designed for reliable cupping (Erichsen / Dent) testing on coated steel panels to define the resistance of paint, varnish or related products to cracking and/or detachment when subjected to gradual deformation by indentation under standard conditions.
