Coating Film Wire-Wound Applicator Rod

The coating film wire rod forms a fixed thickness of wet film on the substrate when scraped, thanks to specific depth grooves engraved on the surface of the stainless steel rod. It is used to simulate the coating application process in the laboratory, control the coating application amount, and evaluate leveling and hiding power. It is suitable for the preparation and quality testing of coating films for liquid materials such as paints and inks.
Selection
Select the wire diameter specification based on the viscosity of the coating being tested; use a larger wire diameter for high viscosity. Choose the wire rod number corresponding to the film thickness required by the testing standards, typically in the range of 25–200 micrometers. Consider the flatness of the substrate; for curved substrates, switch to a wound wire rod. Clean the groove immediately with solvent after use to prevent coating curing from affecting accuracy.
