While it\u2019s true that coatings can have a decorative purpose, in the industrial field, it represents much more than an aesthetic improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Industrial varnishing is normally used to apply a protective coating to the surface of the product.<\/strong>&nbsp;There are three main advantages that can be obtained from this type of protective coating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>It prevents corrosion<\/strong>&nbsp;and thus increases the shelf life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It provides fireproof protection<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>It reduces energy consumption<\/strong>&nbsp;by using reflective paints to keep buildings cool, reducing the use of air conditioning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the right measuring tools is essential to ensure the accuracy and quality of the painting process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us now look at the 10 tools for first-class industrial coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Cross hatch testers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samatools.it\/en\/product\/cross-hatch-testers-sadt502\/\">quadrettatori<\/a><\/strong><\/span> are tools used <strong>to measure and verify the adhesion of the coating layers to the support<\/strong> and, in the case of applying multiple layers, the adhesion between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is essential for industrial paint plants and third-party laboratories to guarantee the quality and longevity of the protective coating.&nbsp;<strong>The better the paint adheres to the support, the better protection it can provide and the longer it will protect the asset.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cross hatch tester is very simple to use, see for yourself in&nbsp;<strong>the video below<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these instruments, the process is very straight forward. The head of the tester is position orthogonally on the tested sample and then moved in a sliding motion to track a grid on the coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resulting status of the coating is then compared to an international table to determine the grade of adhesion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pull-off adhesion tester<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we mentioned before, adhesion is a very important aspect for the quality and longevity of industrial painting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore,&nbsp;<strong>to take your industrial painting to the next level you need to test and ensure the adhesion is adequate.<\/strong>&nbsp;And the pull-off adhesion tester helps you do exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This instrument takes its name from the fact that it measures the force needed to pull the coating off the surface of the tested sample. This is done with a diameter specified by the test and by means of hydraulic pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By evaluating pull-off strength of a coating, it is possible to determine the greatest tensile pull-off force that it can bear before detaching. It is also possible to identify breaking points, which are seen by fractured surfaces. This usually occur along the weakest plane within the system consisting of dolly, adhesive, coating layers and substrate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SAMA Tools\u00ae<\/strong> supports you with a <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.samatools.it\/en\/product\/digital-pull-off-adhesion-tester-sadpo500\/\">digital pull-off adhesion instrument<\/a><\/strong><\/span> with the following features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Simple and portable<\/strong>&nbsp;with a built-in rechargeable lithium battery.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High accuracy<\/strong>&nbsp;for optimized results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased&nbsp;<strong>versatility<\/strong>&nbsp;for a higher efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sturdy<\/strong>&nbsp;and resistant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See the tool in action in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Digital pull-off adhesion tester  - SADPO500\" width=\"1680\" height=\"945\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zssNPVVKJeo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
