Thick Film Coating Machine

The thick film Coater controls the thickness of the coating on the substrate through a blade, forming a wet film ranging from tens to hundreds of micrometers. It is used to prepare test panels, simulate industrial coating processes, and evaluate coating properties such as hiding power and adhesion. It is commonly found in quality control laboratories in the paint and ink industries.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate type and size to match the coating width. Ensure the coating thickness range covers testing requirements. The blade material's corrosion resistance should suit sample characteristics. Choose manual or automatic operation based on usage frequency. Equipment accuracy affects coating uniformity, while maintenance convenience is linked to long-term usage costs.

How to choose a laboratory coater? Which one should you buy: wire bar, scraper, or slot die?
This article introduces three methods for selecting laboratory coating machines: wire bar coating is suitable for low-viscosity coatings, offering low cost and simple operation; blade coating is ideal for medium-to-high viscosity slurries or those containing particles, with a wide range of film thickness control; slot-die coating provides the highest precision and is suitable for high-end applications such as electronic films.
