Features
- Advanced Linear Tracing Mechanism: Employs a motorized carriage to drag a needle across the test film over a controlled period, producing a distinct, non-ambiguous trace that precisely marks the chronological progression of the coating’s drying stages.
- High Test Reproducibility: Engineered for stable, motorized movement and consistent scribing, ensuring the production of highly reproducible, reliable data for quality control and R&D.
- Intuitive Touch Screen Interface: Features a modern touch screen control panel that streamlines operation, enabling operators to easily program and initiate test sequences without complex manual settings.
- Customizable Test Parameters: Allows operators to define and program custom start times and total test durations, providing the flexibility needed to test both fast- and slow-curing materials accurately.
- Multi-Sample Capability: Designed with multiple parallel tracks (model dependent) to allow simultaneous testing of different formulations under identical conditions.
- Application: The Drying Time Recorder is the industry standard for scientifically determining the curing or drying rate of paints, varnishes, coatings, and film-forming materials. It is routinely employed in R&D to optimize formulations and in Quality Control to verify product consistency, ensuring compliance with the stringent requirements of international material testing.

FAQs
What is the benefit of the linear tracing method used by the instrument?
The linear tracing method creates a continuous, visible mark that visually correlates time with the film’s curing progression. This allows for direct, unambiguous measurement of when key stages like surface dry or final cure are achieved.
Which industry testing standard does this drying time recorder comply with?
The Drying Time Recorder is manufactured and calibrated to perform drying time evaluations in accordance with the internationally recognized standard, ASTM D5895.
Can the instrument test very slow-drying industrial coatings?
Yes, the touch screen control allows the operator to set a custom total test time, enabling accurate recording of the drying profile for even the slowest-curing industrial or marine coatings.
Is the instrument designed for R&D or just Quality Control?
It is essential for both. In R&D, it helps formulate and compare new chemical systems. In QC, it verifies that production batches meet the established drying specifications for the final product.
How does the automatic system guarantee good test reproducibility?
By controlling the linear speed and maintaining consistent stylus pressure throughout the test, the instrument removes human variables, guaranteeing high consistency and comparability across multiple test runs.
