Extrusion-type Ink Coating Rod

The extrusion-type ink coating rod forms a fixed gap between the rod and the substrate, uniformly extruding ink to create a coating as it moves. It is used in laboratories to simulate printing and coating processes, testing ink coverage thickness and uniformity. It is suitable for evaluating ink performance on materials such as paper and plastic films.
Selection
Select the rod material based on the substrate surface roughness: use stainless steel rods for smooth surfaces and wire-wound rods for rough surfaces. Match the rod number to the target coating thickness, choosing a smaller rod for low-viscosity inks and a larger rod for high-viscosity inks. Ensure the rod length covers the sample width, and maintain a uniform translation speed during operation to avoid thickness fluctuations.
