Blade Rod Coating Wire

The wire-wound rod is a coating tool that forms a uniform wet film by scraping the coating material on the substrate surface with a metal rod. Its principle involves using the gaps between the wire wound around the rod to control the thickness of the coating. It is used to simulate the coating process in the laboratory and is applied in quality control and coating performance testing in industries such as inks and paints.
Selection
When selecting a wire-wound applicator rod, consider the substrate surface characteristics, coating viscosity, and desired wet film thickness. Thicker wire diameters are suitable for high-viscosity coatings and thicker films, while finer wire diameters are used for low-viscosity coatings and thinner films. Determine the rod specification according to testing standards, and ensure the rod's straightness and the integrity of the wire winding.
