Formed wire Rod

A Mayer rod is a coating tool with a spiral groove of a specific depth engraved on its surface. During use, the coating material is applied to the substrate, and a scraping motion allows the groove to control the transfer amount of the coating, forming a uniform wet film. It is used in laboratories to simulate the coating process and test the coverage effect and thickness consistency of coatings on materials such as paper and plastic.
Selection
When selecting a wire-wound applicator, it is necessary to consider the surface characteristics of the substrate, the viscosity of the coating, and the required wet film thickness. Match the groove depth of the applicator based on the fluidity of the coating and coverage requirements; for rough substrates, opt for a larger groove depth. The material of the applicator should be corrosion-resistant, with stainless steel being suitable for most solvent-based coatings. Clean promptly after use to avoid clogging.
