Pigment Coating Rod

The pigment coating rod forms a uniform wet film by scraping on a flat substrate through a metal rod with grooves of specific depths engraved on its surface. It is used in the laboratory for the rapid preparation of coatings, ink sample coatings, facilitating subsequent tests for properties such as hiding power and color difference.
Selection
Select the groove depth based on the viscosity of the sample to be tested, typically ranging from 25 to 250 micrometers; choose stainless steel or aluminum alloy material according to the sample's corrosiveness; match the substrate width to determine the length of the coating rod; verify the uniformity of the film thickness and edge clarity after scraping.
