Doctor Blade Scraping Applicator

The doctor blade Coater controls the coating thickness by adjusting the gap between the blade edge and the substrate, using a uniform scraping motion to form an even wet film. It is used in laboratories to simulate coating processes, test the leveling, hiding power, and drying properties of coatings, and is suitable for the preparation of coatings on inks, paper, and plastic films.
Selection
When selecting, consider the flatness of the substrate and the compatibility of its dimensions with the width of the Coater. Choose the blade gap range based on the required coating thickness. For high-viscosity coatings, opt for a model with a material reservoir. Pay attention to the corrosion resistance of the blade material and the accuracy of its scale. Regularly calibrate the straightness and parallelism of the blade.
