Japanese-style Applicator.

The Japanese-style applicator is a manual coating tool that evenly spreads paint into a wet film of a specified thickness by moving a grooved blade at a constant speed over a substrate. Its function is to simulate the coating process in the laboratory for testing properties such as the hiding power and leveling of coatings. It is commonly used in the preparation and quality control of thin-layer samples such as inks, papers, and adhesives.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the substrate size with the applicator width, choose a model with an appropriate gap based on sample viscosity, and opt for stainless steel material for corrosion resistance. Maintain a uniform horizontal movement during operation. Ensure the blade edges are smooth and free from defects, the coating thickness range covers experimental requirements, and clean promptly after use to avoid residue curing.

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.
