Overview
LENETA WC-34 Mayer Rods is a laboratory tool for preparing coatings to film thickness, also known as the Wire-wound drawdown bar coating applicator or Mayer Rod. This model of coating applicator is made of all stainless steel, with a Spreader width of 254mm and a total length of 305mm. There are 25mm hand-held parts at each end. The rod body diameter is 12.7mm, which has good rigidity.
Features
Wide range of wire diameters: Available in a variety of models from 0.064mm to 1.9mm (2.5 to 75mils), WC-34 models have a wire diameter of 0.86mm (34mil).
2. Accurate film Film thickness: It can be prepared with a wet film thickness of 4.5 to 150 μm (0.18 to 6 mils), and the corresponding film Film thickness of the WC-34 model is 63 μm (2.5 mil).
3. Sufficient width: Spreader width is 254mm (10 inches), which can meet the needs of most standard size baseplates and cardboard.
4. Reasonable structural design: the total length of the rod body is 305mm (12 inches), and there are 25mm hand-held parts at both ends, which is convenient to operate; the diameter of the rod is 12.7mm (1/2 inch), providing good rigidity.
5. Durable and anti-corrosive material: made of all stainless steel, even if it comes into contact with water-based paints, it will not rust or corrode, and it is nonmagnetic, which can be used with the steel plate on the magnetic card.
Principle
Measurement and control of Coat Weight is achieved by Mayer Rods through precision wires (wires) wound on their surfaces. When the coating applicator pulls on the substrate, a gap is formed between the wound wires and the substrate, and the coating is restricted to pass through this gap, leaving a wet-film coating with uniform Film thickness and wire diameter on the substrate.
