How to Measure Adhesion Using the PosiTest® AT Adhesion Tester
PosiTest® AT Self-Alignment Feature
PosiTest AT-A – Automatic Adhesion Tester
Adhesion testers include everything needed for testing: Automatic Adhesion Tester, built-in rechargeable NiMH battery with charger, dollies, abrasive pad, cutting tool, glue with mixing sticks and palettes, cotton swabs, USB cable, PosiSoft® Software, instruction booklet, shoulder strap, Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST, two-year warranty, and a sturdy, lightweight carrying case^
* Optional 20mm/50mm/50 mm C1583/50 mm Tile Conversion Kits allow each model to be used with alternative dolly sizes. Custom 10 and 14 mm dollies are available for special applications (compatible with 20 mm stand off).
Conforms to international standards including ASTM C1583/D4541/D7234/D7522, ISO 4624/16276-1, EN 1542/12004-2, AS/NZS 1580.408.5 and others
Upon completion of a pull-off test, the dolly and coated surface should be examined. In addition to pull-off force, many National and International standards such as ASTM D4541 and ISO 4624 require the nature of the fracture to be recorded.
The cohesive and adhesive fracture visual analysis can be recorded using the PosiTest® AT-A’s keypad or touch screen display. Alternatively, the information can be reported using the PosiTector® App.
Fractures are visually estimated and recorded as a percent of each. The two layer example below illustrates a cohesive fracture within coating layer 1 and layer 2 (visually estimated at 50% each). Recorded results are included in reports.
The PosiTest® AT-A can record fracture information for up to five layers. For full details and examples see Visual Analysis and Recording of Test Results.
Adhesion testers include everything needed for testing: Manual Adhesion Tester, 3 AAA batteries, dollies, abrasive pad, cutting tool, glue with mixing sticks and palettes, cotton swabs, USB cable, PosiSoft® Software, instruction booklet, Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST, two-year warranty, and a sturdy, lightweight carrying case

Ideal for checking the accuracy and operation of adhesion testers and is an important component in fulfilling both ISO and in-house quality control requirements.
The PosiTest® AT Verifier and included documents allow the user to certify the accuracy of PosiTest® Adhesion Testers.
The ideal tool for the frequent user and for testing on hard substrates such as metal.
The TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT CC1000 is used to test the adhesion of dry coats of paint on their substrate by means of a series of cuts through the coating. Two series of parallel cuts cross angled to each other to obtain a pattern of 25 or 100 similar squares. The ruled area is evaluated by using a table chart after a short treatment with a stiff brush, or adhesive tape for hard substrates.
The round cutting knife of the TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT CC1000 has eight cutting edges that can be changed easily by rotating the knife. The self positioning knife bracket of the TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT CC1000) ensures equal pressure on the cutting knife.
Each TQC Cross Cut Adhesion Test KIT CC1000 contains a grip with cutter, a brush, an illuminated loupe and a roll of adhesive tape acc. EN ISO 2409.
Knives and tape can be ordered as a spare as well.
The Pretreatment Test Kit is especially composed to control all relevant parameters during the pretreatment of steel prior to painting. The PTK is available as BASIC KIT and FULL KIT.

Certified coated metal plates and polystyrene blocks are ideal for verifying the accuracy and operation of coating thickness gages and are an important component in fulfilling both ISO and in-house quality control requirements.
Many organizations require verification of gage accuracy at the test site each time a coating thickness gage is put into service and at frequent intervals during use. Ideal for this purpose, DeFelsko certified coating thickness standards have measured values traceable to a National Metrology Institution.
Simulate a coating over a particular substrate material or shape. Gage performance can be conveniently verified on a regular basis as required by some international test methods.
For use with all Type 2, electronic coating thickness gages.
Protects the probe from damage or premature wear when placed over hot or abrasive surfaces
Can be placed on top of soft or tacky coating films to obtain thickness measurements without the gage probe depressing the coating film.
Revolutionary apparatus for testing the resistivity of coatings at various stages of deformation in accordance
with ISO 1520. The built in gear-box minimizes the manual force which is required to deform the test panel,
allowing to perform a smooth deformation. The degree or deformation is digitally displayed at a resolution of
0.01 mm. Mandatory test in Qualicoat, QIB and GSB accredited laboratories.
