Wire Bar Coaters

Wire Bar Coaters

The wire and its rod from the wire-wound rods are made of stainless steel,which are corrosion-resistance. A coating(Paint or Ink)is being drawdown by a known thickness wire-rod applicator over a substrate(eg. Black/White Test Chart, Glass or Wood Panel, etc.)onto our Drawdown Board. The motion of the drawdown is done by gripping the 2 edges of the applicator or by using the Holder 

These applicators provide an economical way to assure the uniformity of thickness of very thin films.

  • Bar and wire manufactured of stainless steel
  • Perfect for very thin films, e. g. foils and paper coating tests
  • Ideal for flexible materials such as paper, cardboard, test charts, foils, leather, textiles, etc.
  • Maximum attainable wet film thickness engraved on bar end
  • Simultaneous drawdown of several samples side by side is possible
