Small Benchtop Coating Tester

The small desktop coating tester evenly applies coatings onto substrates using a blade or roller, simulating the actual coating process. It is used in laboratory settings to test coating thickness, uniformity, and adhesion, and is suitable for the development of coating processes for materials such as paper and film.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility of the coating width with the substrate thickness, check whether the speed adjustment range meets the requirements of materials with different viscosities, and confirm that the heating function corresponds to the drying process. Pay attention to the type of scraper and the pressure adjustment method to ensure ease of operation and maintenance costs.
