Coating Drawdown Bar

The paint applicator rod is a coating tool with grooves engraved on the surface of a metal rod, which controls the wet film thickness through the depth of the grooves. During use, the paint is scraped along the surface of the substrate to form a uniform wet film, simulating coating thickness, observing leveling, and assessing hiding power in laboratory settings.
Selection
When selecting, consider the substrate flatness and paint viscosity; choose deep groove specifications for high viscosity. The stainless steel material is resistant to solvent corrosion, and the groove depth range of 2-200 micrometers covers common requirements. The machining accuracy of the grooves affects the uniformity of the coating film, so match the groove depth according to the actual coating thickness.
