Coating Rod for paint sampling.

The paint sample coating rod is a metal rod with grooves of specific depths engraved on its surface, which forms a uniform wet film on the substrate through a scraping process. It controls the amount of paint transferred using the grooves to simulate actual coating effects. It is used in laboratories to quickly prepare test samples for evaluating paint leveling, hiding power, and color performance.
Selection
Select the groove depth based on the viscosity of the coating, with deep grooves for high viscosity. Determine the rod material according to the smoothness of the substrate, using stainless steel rods for rough surfaces. Consider the rod diameter based on coating speed requirements, opting for thicker rods for fast coating. Match the groove type according to the test standards, with rectangular grooves suitable for most coatings.
