Flex requires minimal calibration, is insensitive to the angle and distance of measurement and permits measurement of coating thickness directly after the application of the coating material and before drying or curing.
Its reliability, user-friendliness, safety, cost-effectiveness, precision and accuracy will make it important to major coating line manufacturers, large paint manufacturers, renowned experts and by coaters around the globe, Gardo notes.
Additional features to note, in addition to its noncontact and nondestructive measurement capabilities, is Flex’s ability to measure directly after application on wet, powder and cured coatings, regardless of the coating material, thickness or color.
