TQC SoloGloss 60°
TQC PolyGloss 20° / 60° / 85°
The TQC Sheen Glossmeter comes in two models. The Sologloss glossmeter measures 60° and the Polygloss glossmeter 20°/60°/85°. The 60º measuring angle can be used for any surface, from matte to glossy. For better gloss measurements on high gloss surfaces the 20° angle is available, while for low gloss surfaces the 85° angle suits best.
Ideal Finish Analysis Software is included to analyze the gloss measurement results. This software provides the user the power to do all analysis of interest. Trend, Gaus and many other statistical evaluations are possible.
In order to get the best stability the TQC Gloss meter’s unique double hybrid frame system has been engineered with the highest precision. Carefully controlling the interior of the light patch helps to give the TQC Gloss meter robust and stable structure. The TQC Sheen Gloss meter is a solid well-engineered Dutch product.
To assess the quality of the Glossmeter TQC Sheen took thousands of readings on certified substrates to test stability, reliability and durability. With or without shock testing the Glossmeter proved to have the ultimate level of performance.
Glossmeter development started with an understanding of the basic principles of Gloss. Surface textures, translucency and color all influence the visual perception of a surface, but also influence the fine optics of the gloss meter. Micro scale surface deformations cause scattering of light and divide it into specular and non-specular, this is the fine threshold where the Gloss meter is able to determine the gloss at the highest accuracy level.
In order to get the best stability the Glossmeter’s unique double frame system has been engineered with the highest precision. Carefully controlling the interior of the light patch helps to give the Gloss meter robust and stabile structure.
To assess the quality of the Glossmeter we took ten thousands of readings on certified substrates to test stability, reliability and durability. With or without shock testing the Gloss meter proved to have the ultimate level of performance.
The Ideal Finish Analysis Software is the most advanced coating climate, coating cure and coating thickness monitoring software package available today. With two user levels Ideal Finish Analysis offers user friendly reporting functions for standard production work as well as advanced calculations for in depth analysis of the climate parameters prior to coating, the curing process and oven performance during coating and the thickness after coating.

The TQC DewCheck 4 – Dewpoint Meter (DPM)/ Dewmeter is an extremely versatile dewpoint meter to measure and record all climate parameters required to treat surfaces. This easy to use and robust dewmeter conforms to ISO 8502-4 & ASTM D3276-07 and measures the relative humidity (%RH), ambient temperature (Ta) and surface temperature (Ts) and calculates the dewpoint temperature (Td) and the difference between the dewpoint temperature and the surface temperature (ÄT). The difference between the surface temperature and dewpoint temperature indicates the optimal climate conditions for painting. All parameters can be stored in the dew meter’s memory, tagged with a date and time.
For communication between DewCheck 4 dewmeter and a PC the DewCheck dew meter USB cable is standard supplied. To analyze the data the DewCheck 4 comes with the special Ideal Finish Analysis software. This software is the most advanced temperature and humidity monitoring software package for Dew-point Meters available today. It offers user friendly reporting functions for standard production work as well as advanced calculations for in depth analysis of the climate parameters prior to coating. Detailed graphic representations and custom reports help to make the right decisions.
TQC Samarium Cobalt Magnet probes to measure air temperature in box ovens and conveyor ovens in the powder coating industry. Ideal for measuring the temperature profiles of the oven during the curing process.
Adhesion Test Kit for Coatings on Wood
The TQC Adhesion Test Kit (HPK) is a method developed in the Netherlands by FOSAG and SKH. This method determines the adhesion of new and old paint layers on wood and wood like materials. The damage on the substrate will be reduced to a minimum. The adhesion is judged by comparing the removed paint on the tape and the remaining paint on the wood. Finally illustrations are used for classifying the damage from class 0 to 5. Delivery includes cutting tool and also tape.
The Tape For Adhesion Test can be ordered separately as well.
The CurveX 3 Basic is an oven recorder designed for everyday use in powder coating lines.
It’s a 4-channel temperature datalogger built in a sturdy machined aluminium case that fulfils the basic needs for quality control in powder coating applications. Its ease of use and affordable price level makes it the ideal job-coaters instrument.
To use a CurveX 3 Basic to the fullest an insulation box, heat absorber/bracket and probes are necessary. All CurveX insulation boxes and CurveX probes, and the single heat absorber / bracket can be used with the CurveX 3 Basic. See the accessory list
