Putty Sandability Tester
Category：Interior Material Tester
Introduction
The Putty Sandability Tester is designed according to GB/T 1770-2008 “Test Method for Sandability of Coatings and Putty Films”. It is used to evaluate the sandability of primers and putty by reciprocating the test specimen under controlled load. The instrument measures wear after a specified number of sanding cycles, providing objective assessment of primer or putty resistance to sanding. The system features microcontroller-based intelligent control, stepless speed adjustment, and automatic cycle counting with real-time display.
Application
(1) Evaluation of sandability for primers and putty in automotive, furniture, or industrial coatings
(2) Quality control for coating and putty performance
(3) R&D assessment for new primer or putty formulations
(4) Laboratory testing of coating systems before production scale-up
Standards
(1) GB/T 1770-2008 Test Method for Sandability of Coatings and Putty Films
(2) ASTM D 2187 (optional, comparable method for coating sandability)
(3) ISO 15184 (for comparative sandability tests of paint films)
