Column Coating Applicator Rod

The rod film applicator transfers coating onto a substrate by rolling a cylindrical rod across the surface, creating a uniform wet film. It is used in laboratories to prepare coatings of standard thickness and can be used with drawdown plates to produce comparative samples. It is suitable for quality control applications such as ink adhesion testing and paint hiding power evaluation.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate flatness and size compatibility with the coating applicator width. Determine the cylinder diameter based on the standard thickness range, and choose stainless steel or aluminum material according to the paint viscosity. Verify the concentricity and surface smoothness of the roller, and adjust the rolling speed in coordination with viscosity to control the uniformity of the film thickness.
