Pigment Film Applicator

The pigment film applicator forms a uniform wet film on the substrate surface through mechanical blade coating, simulating the coating process of paints and inks in the laboratory. Its principle involves controlling the gap between the blade and the substrate to adjust the film thickness. Its purpose is to test the hiding power, leveling, and other properties of pigments, and it is applied in the development of paint formulations and quality control processes.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the Coater material with the substrate type, and determine the groove depth based on the viscosity of the sample being tested. In conventional laboratories, models with stainless steel material and multiple groove specifications are typically chosen. Pay attention to the flatness of the blade and the precision of gap adjustment, and ensure the operating environment remains clean to avoid affecting film formation quality.
