Overview
LENETA WC-65 Mayer Rods, also known as Wire-wound drawdown bar coating applicator or Mayer Rod, is a laboratory tool for preparing coatings to film thickness. The model WC-65 has a wire diameter of 1.65mm and can be used for preparing wet film thickness of approximately 125 µm (5.0 mil). Spreader width is 254mm (10 inches).
Features
1. Wide range of wire diameters: models with a variety of wire diameter specifications from 0.064mm to 1.9mm (2.5 to 75mils) are available, and the wire diameter of the WC-65 model is 1.65mm.
2. Film Film thickness optional: for different wire diameters, it can be prepared with film Film thickness of 4.5 µm to 150 µm (0.18 to 6 mils), and the WC-65 model can be prepared with about 125 µm (5.0 mil) wet-film.
3. Standard Spreader Width: The Spreader width is 254mm (10 inches), suitable for most standard size baseplates and cardboard.
4. Ergonomic design: 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.
5. Durable: The rod body is 12.7mm (1/2 inch) in diameter, providing good rigidity.
6. High-quality material: Made of all stainless steel, corrosion-resistant, not easy to rust even when exposed to water-based paints, and nonmagnetic material, can be used with steel plates on magnetic cards.
Principle
Measurement of paint by Mayer Rods uses wires (wires) that are tightly wound on their surface. When the coating applicator pulls uniformly on the substrate, a gap is formed between the wound wires and the substrate, and the paint is filled and passed through the gap, leaving a wet-film coating with uniform film thickness and wire diameter on the substrate surface.
