Laboratory Film Coater

A film applicator uses a blade or roller to form a uniform coating on a substrate surface, simulating the coating process in industrial production for laboratory purposes. It is suitable for thickness testing and performance evaluation of materials such as coatings and inks, helping to determine coating parameters.
Selection
When selecting a film Coater, considerations should include the substrate type, coating thickness range, and coating speed. Choose between a blade or roller type based on the material viscosity to ensure uniform coating. Pay attention to the corrosion resistance of the Coater material, and ensure compatibility with common substrate sizes in the laboratory.
