High-Low Temperature Gravel Impact Tester
This tester is widely applied in durability and damage resistance evaluation for materials exposed to gravel impact during actual service conditions, especially in the automotive and coating industries. Typical applications include:
External coating cohesion failure testing
Interlayer adhesion failure testing of multilayer coating systems
Brittleness thickness evaluation of hard glass materials
Optimization of coating thickness for anti-spall performance
Impact, spall resistance, and wear resistance testing of plastics and glass
Stone-chip resistance testing for automotive exterior and interior components
Tested products may include automotive body coatings, plastic trim parts, glass panels, protective coatings, and other exterior decorative or functional materials.
