Bench-top Film Coating Machine

Film applicators and Coaters use mechanical blades or rollers to evenly apply coatings onto substrate surfaces, forming wet films of specified thickness. They are used in laboratories to simulate industrial coating processes, testing properties such as coating leveling and hiding power. They are suitable for the preparation and quality control of coatings on materials such as inks, paper, and plastic films.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate type and size to match the coating width. Choose a blade or roller coating structure based on the viscosity of the coating. The coating thickness range should cover experimental requirements. Prioritize manual or simple electric operation modes, and ensure the material's corrosion resistance is suitable for cleaning with common solvents.
