ISO Applicator

The ISO applicator forms a uniform wet film on the substrate surface using a mechanical blade to simulate the coating process of paints and inks. Its principle involves controlling the gap between the blade and the substrate to set the coating thickness. Its function is to prepare standardized test samples for laboratory testing of coating properties such as hiding power and color difference.
Selection
When selecting an ISO applicator, ensure it matches the required thickness specifications of the testing standard, determine the width based on the substrate size, prioritize stainless steel material for durability, verify the straightness of the blade to avoid uneven coating, and ensure compatibility with the viscosity range to suit the characteristics of the fluid being tested.

Application of Two-Step Method with Pre-Coating and Fine-Coating in Eliminating Bubble Defects for Dual-Blade Coater
The dual-blade coater employs a two-step method of pre-coating and precision coating to eliminate bubble defects during the coating process. In the pre-coating stage, high shear force is applied to break the bubbles in the slurry, causing them to rupture and rise to the surface. The precision coating stage then precisely controls the coating thickness, removing any remaining bubbles to form a uniform wet film.
