Overview
LENETA WC-22 Mayer Rods, also known as Wire-wound drawdown bar coating applicator or Mayer Rod, is a laboratory tool for preparing coatings into films of specific film thickness. This model is made of all stainless steel, with a 254mm Spreader width, a 12.7mm rod diameter, a total length of 305mm, and a 25mm hand grip at both ends for good rigidity.
Features
The wire diameter range covers 0.064mm to 1.9mm (2.5 to 75mils), and the corresponding wet film thickness range is 4.5μm to 150μm (0.18 to 6mils).
2. Spreader width is 254mm (10 inches), suitable for most standard size baseplates and cardboard.
3. The total length of the rod body is 305mm (12 inches), and there are 25mm long hand-held parts at both ends for easy operation.
4. The rod body is 12.7mm (1/2 inch) in diameter, providing good rigidity.
5. Made of all stainless steel, corrosion resistant, suitable for water-based paints, and nonmagnetic design, can be used with steel plates on magnetic cards.
Principle
Mayer Rods controls the Spreader Film thickness through a precision wire (wire) wound on its surface. As the rod rolls on the sample-coated substrate, the wound wire scrapes off excess paint, leaving a uniform wet-film proportional to the diameter of the wire and controlled by Film thickness.
Applications
Coating R & D, inks testing, Adhesive prepative, coating performance evaluation, laboratory sample prepative
