Wire Rod

The wire-wound rod is a coating tool that controls the wet film thickness by forming grooves through the winding of metal wires. During the coating process, the liquid fills the grooves, and after scraping, a uniform wet film is formed. It is used in laboratories to prepare coatings and ink sample coatings, and to test properties such as leveling and hiding power.
Selection
Select the wire diameter specification based on the viscosity of the sample to be tested; use a larger wire diameter for high viscosity. Determine the rod length according to the substrate width. Match the wire diameter to the coating thickness requirements, with larger wire diameters resulting in thicker coatings. Choose the material according to the testing standards; stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, while carbon steel is suitable for conventional samples.

The difference between a wire bar coater and a gap-type wet film applicator.
The wire-wound drawdown bar directly quantifies the coating through the gap between wires, making it suitable for thin coating preparation with high precision, particularly for low-viscosity fluids. In contrast, the gap-type wet film applicator indirectly controls film thickness through the groove depth, with the actual coating thickness significantly influenced by material properties, making it more suitable for high-viscosity coatings and thick film preparation.
