Scratch-tester Millennium


In accord width Standards EN 1071, ASTM C1624, ASTM G171
Scratch test instrument for adherence characterization and scratch resistance
for thin coatings and bulk materials.

 

The scratch-test method consists of scratching on the surface with a diamond tip on which is applied a constant or progressive load.

As the scratching is done the sample move under the video system, to examine the different finds of damage done by the tip and correlate it with load applied.

 

This standard method allows for comparison of different coatings, substrates, thickness of coatings, preparations of surface before coating and scratch resistance of bulk materials.

We've developed three instruments in order to test different kind of coatings

Thickness from 500 nanometers to 100 microns :
