Papermaking Coating Metering Rod

The paper coating metering rod is a metal rod with engraved patterns on its surface, which controls the thickness of the coating on the paper by scraping off excess coating material. The shape of the grooves determines the amount of coating retained, making it suitable for coating processes such as art paper and white cardboard, resulting in a smooth and even paper surface.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility of base paper weight and coating speed with the rod diameter, and determine the groove shape based on the viscosity of the coating. Use rectangular grooves for water-based coatings and V-shaped grooves for high-solids coatings. The hardness of the rod material affects wear resistance, with tungsten carbide being suitable for high-speed coating.

How to choose a laboratory coater? Which one should you buy: wire bar, scraper, or slot die?
This article introduces three methods for selecting laboratory coating machines: wire bar coating is suitable for low-viscosity coatings, offering low cost and simple operation; blade coating is ideal for medium-to-high viscosity slurries or those containing particles, with a wide range of film thickness control; slot-die coating provides the highest precision and is suitable for high-end applications such as electronic films.
Standard Test Method for Measuring Optical Haze of Transparent Coated Films Using a Haze Meter
This article introduces the standard method for measuring the optical haze of transparent coated films using a haze meter. First, the instrument must be calibrated according to the standard, and the sample needs to be conditioned in a constant temperature and humidity environment. The measurement involves four steps, including air zeroing, measuring total transmission and scattered light flux, and finally calculating the haze value.
