Scratch Testers

Anton Paar develops, produces and distributes highly accurate laboratory instruments as well as process measuring systems and provides custom-tailored automation and robotics solutions worldwide.

Scratch testers from Anton Paar are used to characterize film-substrate systems and to quantify properties such as adhesive and cohesive strengths, friction force, deformation, and elastic recovery, via a number of complementary methods. This makes scratch testers invaluable tools for the determination of coating adhesion, scratch, and mar resistance, in research, development, and quality control.

Scratch testers can be mounted on Step, a versatile surface testing platform that is designed to house various scratch and indentation testers. Cover up to four types of testing: instrumented indentation, scratch, automatic Vickers hardness, and basic tribology.
