Crack Thickness Preparator

The crack thickness applicator forms a uniform coating on the substrate surface through mechanical scraping, simulating the cracking phenomenon during the drying process of materials. It is used in the coatings and ink industries to test the cracking performance of coatings, helping to analyze the weather resistance and adhesion of materials.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the substrate size to the scraper width, ensuring the coating thickness range covers testing requirements, choosing materials resistant to corrosion to accommodate experimental solvents, ensuring ease of operation for daily use, and verifying instrument applicability by referencing industry standards.
