The TQC Impact Test is used to determine the impact resistivity and flexibility of coatings. The dual scale instrument is equipped with a special guidance which assures that the distance between each impact is always according to the standard. For correct positioning a spirit-level is built-in. Each Impact test comes as a complete set (instrument and accessories) to perform a test according DIN/ISO 6272, ASTM D2794 and ASTM G14.
Mandatory test in Qualicoat, QIB and GSB accredited laboratories.
