Through-DryTester Model 416
ISO 9117 - EN 29117
Purpose and Application
This instrument is designed for testing the through-dry state of paints, lacquers and similar coatings in accordance with the standards ISO 9117and EN 29117.
Principle of Test
A test plunger faced with nylon fabric and loaded with a defined weight is lowered onto the test surface for a limited period of time and
then turned through 90°.
The resulting effect on the coating is evaluated after lifting the test plunger.

Drying Time Recorder Model 504-V
with variable speeds
Precise Recording of the drying Properties of Paints and Similar Coatings
Purpose and Application
The Drying Time Recorder, Model 504-V, automatically determines and registers the drying behaviour of paints and similar coatings.
Test Principle
A needle slides over the coating film at a defined speed. The track produced by the needle varies according to the degree of dryness.
The various drying stages are defined by calculating the time and track characteristics of the film under investigation.
