Coating Film Blade Applicator

The film applicator uses a blade to scrape uniformly over a substrate to create a wet film of even thickness, simulating the film-forming effect before paint application. Its principle involves controlling the paint thickness through the gap between the blade edge and the substrate. It is used to test leveling, hiding power, and color performance, and is applied in laboratory settings for paint quality control and formulation adjustments.
Selection
When selecting a film applicator, consider the substrate type and size to match the width of the applicator. Choose the blade gap range based on the viscosity of the coating. Pay attention to the wear resistance of the blade material, with stainless steel being commonly used. Operational convenience involves the fixing method and cleaning design. To verify the accuracy of the coating thickness, calibrate with a thickness gauge.
