This indentation Tester is used to evaluate the indentation resistance (hardness) of single or multi-coat coating systems, varnishes and related products.
Place the gauge on the coated surface and subsequently peel off after 30 sec to allow the coating to recover for 35 sec, place a 20x magnification microscope in the indentation by locating the indentation using the template provided, where the length of the indentation can be measured with a scale ruler. Indentation resistance is obtained by the formula 100/indentation length.
