Adjustable Preparator

The adjustable film applicator forms a uniform wet film by adjusting the gap between the blade and the substrate, which is used for the preparation of film thickness for coatings and inks. In the laboratory, it simulates the coating process and, together with a thickness gauge, tests the hiding power or leveling of the product.
Selection
Select the blade material based on the sample viscosity; use stainless steel for high viscosity. Determine the preparation width according to the testing standard, commonly 50mm or 100mm. Ensure the substrate is flat, and glass plates should be free of scratches. The film thickness range should ideally cover 10-500μm.

Coating film preparation techniques: comparison between wire-wound applicators and wet film preparators
This article compares two commonly used tools in laboratory coating film preparation: the wire rod coater and the wet film applicator.
The laboratory coating machine easily coats various aqueous and oily slurries.
The laboratory film applicator is a precision instrument used to prepare uniform coatings on substrates, primarily operating on the principle of a blade or wire-wound rod. It allows adjustment of parameters such as speed and pressure to control coating thickness.
The importance of maintaining a constant speed when using a wet film applicator for coating.
When using a wet film applicator, maintaining a constant speed during the scraping process is crucial for coating uniformity. The scraping speed directly affects the wet film thickness, and fluctuations in speed can lead to defects such as streaks and uneven thickness, compromising the repeatability and accuracy of experimental results.
The difference between a wire bar coater and a gap-type wet film applicator.
The wire-wound drawdown bar directly quantifies the coating through the gap between wires, making it suitable for thin coating preparation with high precision, particularly for low-viscosity fluids. In contrast, the gap-type wet film applicator indirectly controls film thickness through the groove depth, with the actual coating thickness significantly influenced by material properties, making it more suitable for high-viscosity coatings and thick film preparation.
