During the application of a coating, the presence of moisture in the environment, or on the work surface, often results in a poor quality finish.
Problems such as poor adhesion of the coating or premature corrosion of the substrate can occur.
To determine the likelihood of moisture affecting the quality of the finish, it is essential that the surface temperature, air temperature, relative humidity (RH) and dew point are all measured.
It is often important to ensure the temperature of the coating to be applied is at a temperature which will ensure a suitable application.
The Elcometer 210 Paint Thermometer is supplied with a clip to enable the thermometer to be hooked on to the edge of a paint can allowing accurate temperature measurement of the paint.
The Elcometer 210 Paint Thermometer is constructed out of metal making it ideal for on-site measurements.
