Bird-type film thickness preparator

The Bird-type film applicator forms a uniform wet film by spreading the coating onto a substrate with a blade, simulating the actual coating process. This tool is used to prepare coating samples of standard thickness for subsequent testing of properties such as hiding power and leveling. It is commonly used in the quality control processes of laboratories in the paint and ink industry.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility between substrate flatness and the material of the applicator. The coating thickness range should cover the detection requirements. Pay attention to the precision of the applicator gap and ease of cleaning, as the handling feel affects film uniformity. Ensure compatibility with commonly used substrate sizes in the laboratory to facilitate seamless integration with subsequent detection equipment.
