QGZ-24 Automatic Paint Film Drying Time Tester
Determining the Drying Time of Paint Films and Putty Films To gain a comprehensive understanding of the drying and curing processes of coatings, an instrument capable of automatically measuring the entire drying period is required. This enables test personnel to obtain accurate and efficient scientific data. The design principle involves using a single-chip microcomputer to control a high-precision stepper motor, which drives a rocker arm equipped with a spherical contact point. Under a specified load and at a constant speed, a stylus performs uniform circular motion on the surface of the coating being tested. By recording the stylus’s trajectory on the coating surface and overlaying it onto a drying-time graph, the complete film-forming process can be evaluated.

It measures the drying time of paint films and putty films. For various coatings—such as colored paints and clear varnishes—applied to surfaces, it can automatically and continuously display the state of each stage in the drying process along a straight-line trajectory, enabling intuitive analysis of the time required for each stage.
This instrument is used for sampling and testing of paints, varnishes, and related products to determine the film hardness of such coatings.
QHQ-A Portable Pencil Hardness Tester
The test method for determining the hardness of a paint film by means of the pencil hardness scale, which involves scratching through the paint film, is characterized as follows: Hardness is expressed in terms of the pencil hardness grade at which the paint film is scratched through under specified test conditions.
QHQA Electric Pencil Hardness Tester
Specifically designed for hardness testing of coatings on various finished products, such as mobile phone casings, MP4 player housings, laptop enclosures, and other appliance and digital‑product casings. The machine features electric (semi‑automatic) control and employs a stepper motor to drive the transmission, enabling precise forward and backward motion with low noise and high stability. The test stroke is adjustable to meet specific requirements.
QHQ Desktop Pencil Hardness Tester
The test method for determining the hardness of a paint film by means of the pencil hardness scale, which involves scratching through the paint film, is characterized as follows: Hardness is expressed in terms of the pencil hardness grade at which the paint film is scratched through under specified test conditions.
This instrument is suitable for indentation testing of single‑layer or multi‑layer coatings, whether pigmented or clear. It is designed solely to measure the resistance of a coating surface to plastic deformation. When the instrument applies a specified load under prescribed conditions, an indentation is produced; the indentation length serves as the basis for expressing the results of the indentation resistance test. As the desired performance of the coating—namely, its resistance to indentation—improves, the measured indentation resistance value increases.
QHZ Coating Film Scratch Tester
Film strength, hardness, adhesion, and other properties are critical physical characteristics of coatings, and their magnitude directly influences the coating’s key performance attributes.
QKL Initial Drying Crack-Resistance Tester
It is primarily used to assess the early‑stage drying and crack‑resistance performance of multi‑layer architectural coatings. The instrument employs an axial‑flow fan for air delivery, with stepless speed control.
QMB-II Minimum Film-Forming Temperature Tester
Applicable standards: GB/T 9267-2008 and ISO 2115-76 are used to determine the minimum film‑forming temperature of polymer emulsions. When polymer emulsions are employed as surface‑treatment agents for coatings, adhesives, synthetic fibers, leather, paper, and other materials, their film‑forming properties constitute one of the most critical characteristics. By applying a polymer emulsion or latex paint onto a metal substrate, the water evaporates, allowing the polymer particles to interact and, at an appropriate temperature, to form a continuous, transparent film. The lowest temperature at which this film‑forming process can occur is defined as the minimum film‑forming temperature of the polymer emulsion, commonly abbreviated as MFT.
