Description
The Grindometer Tool for TQC Sheen Automatic Film Applicator is a precision accessory designed to securely attach a grindometer to a TQC Sheen Automatic Film Applicator. This setup allows for fully automated, repeatable testing of fineness of grind / dispersion in paints, coatings, inks, and similar liquid formulations. By standardizing the movement of the grindometer, this tool eliminates variability caused by manual testing, ensuring more consistent and accurate results in laboratory and quality control environments. The combination of the automatic applicator and grindometer supports fast, reliable assessment of pigment dispersion and product quality, critical for formulation optimisation and production monitoring.

How It Works
- Securely mount the grindometer onto the TQC Sheen Automatic Film Applicator using the accessory tool.
- Load the coating sample and set the applicator to the desired speed and stroke.
- The applicator automatically moves the grindometer across the sample surface.
- Observe and record the fineness of grind at the point where the film is fully continuous in the calibrated grooves.
- Repeatable automation ensures highly consistent measurements across multiple samples and batches.
This method combines the accuracy of a standard grindometer with the reproducibility of automated motion, significantly reducing operator variability.
