Wire Bar Sampler

The wire-wound drawdown bar uses a metal rod wound with wires to roll on a substrate, forming a wet film coating with uniform thickness. It is used for laboratory sample preparation of coatings and inks, simulating actual coating effects, and facilitating the observation of properties such as leveling and hiding power.
Selection
When selecting, consider the diameter of the wire rod and the gap between the wires, as the gap determines the wet film thickness. Choose wire rods with different winding densities based on the viscosity of the sample. Stainless steel material offers corrosion resistance. The handle design affects operational stability. Match the width of the substrate to avoid overflow.
