Blade Coating Application Rod

The drawdown rod is a cylindrical rod with calibrated markings, used to evenly spread coatings onto a substrate surface to form a wet film by manual or mechanical pushing. The thickness of the coating is controlled by the metal wires wound around the rod body, making it suitable for simulating coating processes in the laboratory and testing the leveling and hiding power of coatings.
Selection
Select the rod material based on substrate roughness: stainless steel rods are wear-resistant, while plastic rods prevent chemical reactions. Choose the wire diameter specification according to coating thickness requirements; larger wire diameters result in thicker coatings. Consider the viscosity of the coating: high viscosity requires a larger wire diameter. Determine the rod length to match the substrate width.
