Impact tester for paint

Evaluate Coating Impact Resistance with Precision.

The NEURTEK impactometer is an essential tool for performing impact resistance tests on coatings such as paints and enamels. It allows you to quickly and reliably assess how a material behaves under impact, as well as detect cracks, flaking, poor adhesion, insufficient curing, or flexibility issues.

This equipment is designed to comply with various international standards and easily adapts to different testing methods using optional kits.

What is an Impactometer Used For?

Impact testing helps evaluate:

• Resistance to mechanical shock.
• Formation of cracks and flaking.
• Adhesion of the coating to the substrate.
• Curing level of the coating.
• Material flexibility.

How Does It Work?

The test consists of dropping a weighted mass with a hemispherical punch from a specified height onto the coated surface. Depending on the selected testing method, it can be performed in two ways:

1. Direct Method: The impact is applied directly to the painted surface, allowing a clear view of the coating’s adhesion and flexibility. In this case, the mass falls straight onto the coating with a fixed punch.
2. Indirect Method:The mass falls onto a punch resting on the reverse side of the panel. This evaluates the coating's ability to stretch and conform around the dent created by the impact. The punch transfers the force to the coated sheet from behind.

You can vary both the weight and height of the impact to create a detailed resistance profile, which can be plotted on a coordinate diagram. Both methods are covered by the most relevant international testing standards.

What is Included with the Equipment?

The NEURTEK impactometer comes with:

• A sturdy support base.
• A graduated guide rod.
• An impact mass with support ring.
• Optional kits for different methods and standards.

This is a universal system with multiple configurations, adaptable to a wide range of technical standards.
