Film Frame Applicator

The film applicator with a metal frame controls the thickness of the coating, forming a uniform layer on the substrate surface. It is used in laboratories to simulate the coating process and test the leveling and hiding power of coatings. It is suitable for film thickness testing and quality control of paints and inks.
Selection
Select the frame gap size based on the viscosity of the material to be tested, taking into account the substrate size matching the coating range. Stainless steel material ensures corrosion resistance, and the substrate should be kept flat during operation, with a stable coating speed. Regularly clean the frame to avoid residue affecting precision.

Application of Two-Step Method with Pre-Coating and Fine-Coating in Eliminating Bubble Defects for Dual-Blade Coater
The dual-blade coater employs a two-step method of pre-coating and precision coating to eliminate bubble defects during the coating process. In the pre-coating stage, high shear force is applied to break the bubbles in the slurry, causing them to rupture and rise to the surface. The precision coating stage then precisely controls the coating thickness, removing any remaining bubbles to form a uniform wet film.
