2 Product Description
Automatic laboratory equipment for accurate and reproducible application of coating
materials, adhesives and similar products with almost all film applicators.
2.1 Applications and area of use
Laboratory apparatus for the paint, printing and adhesive industries, as well as for
research and development and the chemical industry in general.
For quality control and for research and development.
For the preparation of uniform layers independent from the individual user.
In particular, this apparatus has the following features:
Multifunctional use with reversible, double sided glass plate: on one side printing blanket
for wire-bar applicators and profile applicators, on the other side glass surface for other
applicators, to be turned simply and without tool.
Adjustable application area with adjustable start and stop positions.
Also suitable for use with different applicators up to the maximum outer width of 300 mm
(11.81”), profile rods and wire
-bar
applicators with a minimum length of 340 mm (13.39”)
and a maximum diameter of 13.5 mm (0.53”) in the support area
.
Also suitable for thick substrates up to 11 mm (0.43”)
.
Optional precision-vacuumplate for fixing thin substrates of different sizes; the object to
be held will be fixed absolutely plane by the suction power.
Optional modification set equipped with isolation plate for use with heatable precision-
vacuumplates or heating plates.
Easy to handle.
Reliable results.
2.2 Introduction
Films with constant and well-defined thickness are a precondition for testing and analysis of
coating materials and coatings. The properties of these materials and films are dependent on
the film thickness.
It is important to notice, that the maximal achievable wet film thickness is not equal to the
gap height selected on the application for physical reasons.
