"tqc" holland permeability cups 

permeability cups for determining the water-vapour transmission of paints, varnishes, coatings, coating systems and related products. The permeability cup consists of a cup, seal ring and cover ring. The seal ring is designed to prevent turning when closing the cover. The permeability cup is suitable for testing both self-supporting coating and non-self-supporting coatings. Water-vapour transmission is of interest for high humidity conditions. The wet cup method is thus the reference method for determining water-vapour transmission, if agreed up on otherwise, other procedures or conditions the dry cup method may be used.

"tqc" holland pressure density cup

Density or specific gravity (sg) is affected by entrapped air bubbles in the liquid under test. The tqc vf2095 sg-cup has a fixed internal volume of 100 ml. Which is to be compressed by the mechanism of the density cup.

After rotation, agitation or dispersion gas and air can be entrapped within the material. Under pressure the air will dissolve better into the liquid and any bubbles that are left undissolved will be compressed to a fraction of their original size. Density of the liquid is defined at a very high level of repeatability by weighing.

The tqc pressure density cup can easily be taken apart to allow easy cleaning.

Standards

lacquers, adhesives and other surface coatings
onto many substrates including paper, board,
plastic films, foils, metal plates, glass plates,
wood etc. Two or more coatings can be applied
side-by-side in a single operation making the
system ideal for comparing products.
