Liquid Film Applicator

A liquid film applicator uses a blade or roller to uniformly spread liquid samples on a substrate surface to form a wet film, simulating the actual coating process. Its function is to prepare coating samples with controllable thickness in the laboratory, which are applied in quality control and performance testing in industries such as paints and inks.
Selection
When selecting a liquid film applicator, factors such as sample viscosity, substrate type, and the desired wet film thickness must be considered. Match the gap range of the applicator to the expected film thickness, and choose an appropriate blade material based on the fluidity of the material. The operating environment determines whether a manual or automatic model is suitable, while ease of cleaning and compliance with standards should also be taken into account.

Lab Mixer Selection - Viscosity Determines Torque
This article mainly discusses how to select a laboratory mixer based on the viscosity of the material. The higher the viscosity, the greater the torque required. Low-viscosity liquids are suitable for high speed and low torque, while high-viscosity materials require low speed and high torque.

Negative pressure method leak detector for testing vacuum packaging seal integrity
The negative pressure leak detector evaluates the seal integrity of vacuum packaging by simulating a pressure differential environment. The instrument places the sample in a testing chamber and creates a vacuum to form negative pressure. If there is a leak, air or liquid will seep into the packaging, and the result is determined by observing pressure changes or the presence of bubbles.

This article introduces the method for measuring the outflow time of varnish using a viscosity cup.
