GRIP TEST

It is very difficult for a layman to know about the quality of paint and its adhesion property, just by looking at the paint. In India, paint manufacturers do not specify the base of paint, the solids used, type or binders etc.

People, normally, judge the paint quality only by seeing the gloss with eyes or they try to see the nail-mark on it by doing some manual scratching. But, besides the above, there is also a scientific method, which can be used even by the people, who do not know anything of paint.

This test is conducted with the help of Cello Tape. Take 4" to 5" Long Cello Tape and stick it on the painted surface and apply full pressure for sticking it and then try to take out the Cello Tape, by applying full force. If the paint comes out, then the quality of paint is not at all good. Normally, Air drying or 2K paints are specified to be completely cured within 7 days of its application. So, we advise that, this test should be conducted only after 7 days of the application of the paint.
