Adhesion Analyzer Takes out the Guesswork

Nov. 17, 2018
Paul N. Gardner's coating analyzer takes the guesswork out of your test results.

The Adhesion Test Analyzer (ATA) takes all of the guess work and subjectivity out of rating the classification of your adhesion results as defined in the ASTM D3359 standard, and is accomplished with one simple instrument.

 

The cross hatch tape test method, also known as ASTM D3359, is a simple qualitative means of classifying a coating's adhesion. The problem with this method alone is that if some amount of coating is removed from the substrate after the test, it can be difficult to properly estimate the percentage removed and the resulting classification rating. But the ATA can automatically calculate and discover the classification rating of a coating. Since the test site has been digitized in order to calculate the amount of coating removed, it is easy to share electronically with interested parties.
