Paint Coating Rod Applicator

The paint applicator with drawdown bar creates a uniform wet film on a substrate surface by evenly pulling a grooved metal rod. It is used in laboratories to simulate industrial coating processes, testing the leveling, hiding power, and film thickness consistency of coatings. It is employed in research and development, as well as quality control, to evaluate the coating performance of materials such as paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate type and size to match the coating width, align the coating thickness range with the groove specifications of the coating rod, choose manual or automatic models to suit operational needs, ensure the material's corrosion resistance meets sample characteristics, and configure additional functions such as temperature control according to experimental conditions.
