Pull / Push Adhesion, Electronic Adhesion Tester KN-10

The KN-10 Electronic Adhesion Tester accurately measures the adhesion of paints and coatings using the pull-off test, providing reliable results both in the laboratory and on site.

The KN-10 electronic tester by NEURTEK is a high-precision instrument designed to measure the adhesion of paints, coatings and construction materials. Using the pull-off adhesion method, it accurately evaluates the force required to detach a dolly bonded to the surface, providing reliable, repeatable and standard-compliant results.

How does the pull-off adhesion test work?

1. A dolly is bonded to the surface to be tested.
2. A circular cut is made to isolate it from the surrounding coating.
3. The KN-10 tester is placed on the dolly.
4. By turning a wheel, progressive force is applied until detachment occurs.
5. The digital display shows the exact force applied at the moment of separation.

This procedure allows adhesion to be checked with high precision, eliminating human error and facilitating the evaluation of coatings in laboratories and on site.
