Blade Coating Film Rod

The drawdown coating rod uses a steel rod with fixed-depth grooves on its surface to retain a precise amount of coating material when drawn across a substrate, forming a uniform wet film. It is used in laboratories to simulate coating processes and test the leveling, hiding power, and film thickness consistency of coatings.
Selection
Select the groove width based on the viscosity of the coating to be tested, determine the groove depth according to the target film thickness, choose the rod hardness according to the flatness of the substrate, verify the scale accuracy against standard specifications, and consider the corrosion resistance of the rod material in combination with the drying method.
