Hand-held Film Applicator

A handheld film applicator uses an adjustable-gap blade to move uniformly across the substrate surface, forming a wet film of even thickness. It is used in laboratories to simulate the coating process and test the leveling, hiding power, and other properties of coatings. It is suitable for coating tests of liquid materials such as inks and adhesives.
Selection
Select the blade gap range based on the viscosity of the material to be tested, typically between 25-500 micrometers. Metal blades are wear-resistant and suitable for high-solid-content materials, while plastic blades prevent scratching of the substrate. Consider the substrate dimensions to match the coating width, and maintain consistent speed and pressure during operation to ensure uniform film thickness.
