Elasticity, Bend & Impact Testers
The performance of coatings when influenced by external stresses caused by stretching, bending or impact, determines their suitability for their designed application. A coating designed for use in the coil coating industry, for example, should have the ability to stretch as the substrate is formed into its desired shape without damage.
