Quadrilateral Wet Film Applicator

The quadrilateral wet film applicator is a metal bar with four different gaps, used to create parallel wet films on substrates through scraping. It controls the coating thickness by geometric gaps and is employed in laboratories to simulate spraying and roller-coating processes, as well as to verify the leveling and hiding power of coatings.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the substrate size with the applicator width. Choose a gap range of 25–400 μm based on the viscosity of the coating. Stainless steel material is suitable for corrosive samples. Models with scales facilitate recording, and the curved edge design ensures uniform coating.

Selection of wet film thickness gauge range and accuracy requirements for comb teeth spacing.
When selecting a wet film thickness gauges, the key considerations are the measurement range and the accuracy of the comb teeth spacing. The range should cover the coating thickness with a slight margin to avoid being too small for measurement or too large, which could reduce resolution.
Wet film thickness gauge measures the wet film thickness of varnish.
The wet film thickness gauge is a mechanical tool used to measure the thickness of liquid varnish coatings. It operates by rolling the gauge so that the tips of its teeth contact the substrate and leave marks.

The dual-blade coater employs a two-step method of pre-coating and precision coating to eliminate bubble defects during the coating process.
