TQC Sheen hardening pen

The TQC Sheen Hardness Pen is a perfect tool for testing the hardness, wear or scratch resistance of materials on flat or curved surfaces.

SKU: TQC SP0010 SP0015 Categories: ,

The TQC hardness pen is a pocket device for testing the hardness and wear/scratch resistance of materials such as coatings, paints, plastics or similar products.

A tungsten carbide tip is drawn over the surface with a defined constant pressure. The pressure on the tip can be changed using the slider or by replacing the spring. A visual mark on the surface after using the TQC hardness pen indicates that the hardness or wear/scratch resistance is no longer given.
