Wet Film Bird Type Applicator

The wet film bird applicator applies a coating onto a substrate by drawing a grooved metal rod across it, creating a uniform wet film. It is used in laboratories to simulate coating thickness and to test the leveling and hiding power of coatings. It is suitable for coating tests of liquid materials such as inks and paints.
Selection
Select groove specifications based on the commonly used coating thickness; consider matching the substrate size with the width of the preparator; choose stainless steel material to ensure wear resistance; verify groove depth accuracy to meet testing requirements; prioritize operational convenience for handheld structures.

Application of Wet Film Wheel Gauge in Continuous Measurement of Wet Film Thickness for Large-Area Coatings
The wet film wheel gauge is a mechanical tool used to measure the thickness of wet coatings, operating based on the geometric relationship of three coaxial disks (two parallel outer wheels on the sides and an eccentric inner wheel in the middle).
Operating specifications for on-site measurement of coating wet film thickness using wet film combs
This article introduces the operational standards for on-site measurement of coating wet film thickness using a wet film comb gauge.

Selection of wet film thickness gauge range and accuracy requirements for comb teeth spacing.
When selecting a wet film thickness gauges, the key considerations are the measurement range and the accuracy of the comb teeth spacing. The range should cover the coating thickness with a slight margin to avoid being too small for measurement or too large, which could reduce resolution.
Wet film thickness gauge measures the wet film thickness of varnish.
The wet film thickness gauge is a mechanical tool used to measure the thickness of liquid varnish coatings. It operates by rolling the gauge so that the tips of its teeth contact the substrate and leave marks. The thickness value is then obtained by the operator reading the scale of the first tooth that becomes coated with the varnish.

Application of Two-Step Method with Pre-Coating and Fine-Coating in Eliminating Bubble Defects for Dual-Blade Coater
The dual-blade coater employs a two-step method of pre-coating and precision coating to eliminate bubble defects during the coating process. In the pre-coating stage, high shear force is applied to break the bubbles in the slurry, causing them to rupture and rise to the surface. The precision coating stage then precisely controls the coating thickness, removing any remaining bubbles to form a uniform wet film.
