Manual drawdown Rod

A manual drawdown bar is a metal rod with grooves of specific diameters, used to create a wet film of uniform thickness on a substrate by manual scraping. It controls the transfer amount of coating through the grooves, enabling rapid preparation of coating samples in the laboratory. It is suitable for color comparison and leveling observation in the ink and coating industries.
Selection
When selecting, consider the groove size of the wire-wound rod to match the target wet film thickness. Prioritize stainless steel material for corrosion resistance, and focus on handle design for comfortable grip. After use, promptly clean the grooves with solvent to avoid residue. Different specifications of wire-wound rods can cover a common thickness range of 10-200 micrometers.
