Manual Coating Line Rod

Manual wire-wound bars are cylindrical coating tools with fixed gaps, which form a uniform wet film on the substrate surface through steady pulling. They are used in laboratories to simulate printing and coating coverage effects, and to evaluate leveling and hiding power. Suitable for coating quality testing on paper, metal, and plastic.
Selection
When selecting, consider the compatibility between substrate flatness and coating material, and determine the wire diameter specification of the wire-wound rod based on the required coating thickness, typically within the 10–200 μm range. The humidity of the operating environment affects the drying speed; nylon-coated rods are easy to clean, while stainless steel rods are durable. Choose a short rod for narrow samples and a long rod for wide ones.
