Microwire Rod

A wire-wound rod is a coating tool that controls the wet film thickness through precision wire winding on a stainless steel rod. Its principle involves using the gaps between the wires to quantitatively carry out the coating material. Its function is to form a uniform wet film on the substrate, and it is applied in the coating preparation and quality control of paints and inks.
Selection
The selection of a micrometer wire-wound rod should match the target wet film thickness, with the wire diameter specification determined based on the material viscosity, while considering the surface characteristics of the substrate. The rod material should be corrosion-resistant stainless steel, and the winding wire should be uniform and free of defects. After use, clean it promptly to avoid residue affecting precision.
