Printing Application Blade

The printing doctor blade is a coating tool that transfers a quantitative amount of coating material by rolling a metal rod on the substrate surface to form a uniform thin film. It is used in laboratories to simulate the coating process and test parameters such as ink opacity and coating thickness.
Selection
Select the diameter of the rod based on the roughness of the substrate, using a rod with a larger diameter for rough surfaces. Choose the wire-wound gap according to the required coating thickness, opting for a rod with a larger gap for thicker coatings. Select the material based on the viscosity of the coating, using stainless steel rods for high-viscosity coatings.
