TQC SoloGloss 60°
GL0030
TQC PolyGloss 20° / 60° / 85°
Which Gloss meters suit which application?
The TQC Sheen Gloss meter 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.
Precision-engineering
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.
Quality guaranteed
To assess the quality of the Gloss meter 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.
Features:
- Memory for 2000 gloss readings (max 8 batches)
- Adjustable gloss limits with visual and acoustic alarm
- LCD colourdisplay with wide viewing angle
- Menu-driven interface
- Stable LED-light source
- USB-C port for quick data transfer to PC
- Calibration gloss standard integrated in protective holder
RESEARCH
Gloss meter 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 Gloss meter’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 Gloss meter 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.
SOFTWARE ANALYSIS
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.

RAL – The Color Dictionary – VF6639
The color dictionary is an indispensable work tool for advertisers, architects, interior designers, designers, professional painters and all those who are fascinated by the world of color. Axel Venn, Professor of Color Design and Trend scouting at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim, undertook a scientific study where he asked more than 60 participants to link various colors with various words, from comfortable to uneasy, from paradisaical to useful, from noble to worthless and from trendy to archaic.

Dolly Drill For Adhesion Test – LD9250
The TQC Dolly Drill is the perfect tool to remove the excess of glue and cut through the coating around dollies in order to prepare the dolly for the adhesion test. Fixed positioning is assured with the three strong magnets, allowing the drill to remove the coating around the dolly without putting any force on the dolly. Manually removing the access of glue and cutting through the coating is a hard job for inspectors that have to do many tests a day, which results in wrist and arm pains. The TQC Dolly Drill eases their work considerably, and increases the accuracy of the pull off adhesion tests because of a perfect vertical cutting movement down to the metal.
For the best reproducible results use the Adhesion tester AT, with the hydraulics and auto positioning feature of the pull-off head.

ASTM D3276-07, Climate Testing, Dewpoint, ISO 8502-4, Recorders / Dataloggers, Temperature, Temperature and Climatic TestingDewCheck 4 Series 2 – Dewpoint Meter | Dewmeter DC7100
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.
