Wet Film Scraper

The wet film applicator is a manual film-making tool that uses a stainless steel blade to spread coatings or inks on a substrate to form a uniform wet film. Its function is to simulate the coating process in the laboratory for testing coating thickness, color, and leveling. It is applied in quality control processes for ink printing and coating development.
Selection
When selecting a wet film applicator, consider the blade gap specification to match the coating thickness requirements, and ensure the stainless steel material provides corrosion resistance. The flatness of the blade affects the uniformity of the coating. During operation, adjust the coating speed based on the viscosity of the sample, as the surface flatness of the substrate determines the quality of the film formation. Regularly clean the blade edge to avoid residue affecting subsequent tests.
