Paint spiral wire Rod

A paint spiral rod is a coating tool that controls the transfer amount of coating material through the spiral grooves on its body, forming a uniform wet film on the substrate. It is used in laboratories to simulate the coating process, test the leveling, hiding power, and thickness of coatings, and is suitable for the preparation and quality evaluation of paint and ink coatings.
Selection
When selecting, consider the wire-wound bar number corresponding to the wet film thickness, matching the paint viscosity; stainless steel material provides corrosion resistance, and the straightness of the bar ensures uniform coating; determine the bar length based on the substrate size, as the groove structure affects the coating effect, and verification should be conducted with reference to standards such as ASTM.

Laboratory coating tools include gap coaters, wire rods, automatic coating machines, etc. What are the differences between them? This article will tell you!
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.
