Film Application / Test Charts

The term “Opacity Chart” refers to charts on which the test pattern is a simple combination of black and white areas, large enough for wider aperture reflectance instruments, as well as for visual opacity and colour observations. Used to test the hiding power of the coating, using large black and white areas.   Technical Specification Part Number Description Chart Dimensions Box Weight Quantity per Box Boxes per Case Box Case mm inches K0004695M003 K0004695M203 Leneta Chart 2A 140 x 254 … Read More

Designed for informal brushout applications, thicker paper is used for the testing of coatings applied with a brush or roller. The paper stock is almost twice the thickness of regular chart paper to give greater rigidity for more convenient handling – nominal thickness 0.5mm (20 mils). Brushout Cards are also used widely for drawdowns and colorimetric measurements.

The Elcometer 4695 Grey Scale Charts are sealed paint test charts with six stripes on a white field, ranging in shade from very light grey to black. The stripes are numbered 1 to 6, representing uniform steps of increasing contrast. The hiding power of the applied coatings is rated as the number of the darkest stripe that is completely (or almost completely) obscured, at a specified thickness or spread rate. Form CU-1 is used for more practical large-area brush or … Read More

Elcometer 4695 Scrub Test Panels   In a typical scrub test, the coating is applied to the Leneta Scrub Test Panel at a specified film thickness, allowed to dry and then subjected to scrubbing with a straight-line scrub tester. When used in accordance with ASTM D2486, Method A, a 10mil shim is inserted under the panel to accelerate failure and thereby reduce testing time. The scrub resistance is the number of scrub cycles required to remove the coating to a … Read More

The Elcometer 4695 Display/Spreading Rate Charts employ time-tested, diagonally striped patterns, having a strong visual impact that emphasises variations in film opacity. They are frequently used for hiding power display purposes, by means of drawdowns or brushouts. Spreading Rate Charts (Form 8H) are accurately 0.1 square metres (approximately one square foot) in area, and are used in brushout hiding tests at specified spreading rates as described in ASTM Method D 344.

These are pressure sensitive labels with a hiding power test pattern and a sealed, solvent-resistant surface. They are used primarily with metal panels on which the panel alone provides no visual clue as to the thickness of the applied paint film. When placed on such a surface the Monitor presents a contrasting feature by which to observe how well the coating hides the surface, thereby facilitating film thickness control. It adheres firmly whether air-dried or baked, to present a permanent … Read More
