Line spread wheel

The line spreader uses a metal rod to scrape and apply the coating, forming a uniform film layer to simulate printing conditions for observing color and leveling. It is used in ink and coating laboratories to quickly evaluate color development and hiding power, assisting in formula adjustments and quality control.
Selection
When selecting, pay attention to the material's hardness and corrosion resistance, ensure the rod diameter matches the sample viscosity, and consider the impact of surface smoothness on coating results. Consider substrate compatibility, ease of operation, and cleaning and maintenance requirements, and determine specifications based on standard testing ranges.
