Film Application & Test Charts
For numerous products such as paint, ink, varnishes, glue and cosmetics, the reliability of many laboratory tests is directly related to the quality of the samples prepared from it.

It is absolutely essential that any measurements made on such coatings, whether for the purpose of describing their appearance or their physical properties (colour, gloss, hiding power, drying time, etc), are made on the basis of uniform and comparable samples with precisely controlled thickness.

In order to meet such specific demands, Elcometer has a wide range of high quality, high precision film applicators and motorised film applicators for greater repeatability and reproducibility when undertaking a large number of sample tests.

Elcometer also offer a wide range of Leneta Test Charts– the market standard – to meet all your specific requirements
