Laboratory Coating Proofing Machine

The film applicator evenly applies coatings onto substrate surfaces using a blade or roller to form a coating of standard thickness. It is used in laboratories to simulate actual coating processes and to test the leveling, hiding power, and color effects of coatings. It is commonly employed in the sample preparation and quality control of inks, paper, and plastic films.
Selection
When selecting a film applicator, consider the substrate type and size to match the coating width. Determine the blade gap or roller type based on the viscosity of the coating. Pay attention to the adjustable range of coating speed to ensure precise thickness control. Check the corrosion resistance of the materials to adapt to different solvent environments. Verify repeatability indicators to meet daily testing requirements.
