Paint tinting Applicator Rod

The paint color matching wire rod is a coating tool with grooves engraved on the surface of a metal rod. Its principle is to quantitatively pick up paint through the grooves and scrape a uniform wet film onto the substrate. It serves to provide a standard thickness coating for color comparison and is used in laboratory color matching and color difference detection.
Selection
When selecting, consider that the wire-wound rod material must be corrosion-resistant, the groove size should match the target coating thickness, and the straightness of the rod affects coating uniformity. Choose the groove shape based on the viscosity of the coating, and determine the rod length according to the substrate width. Clean promptly after use to avoid residue in the grooves.
