Automatic film applicators
The automatic film applicators provide a reliable basis for the uniform and reproducible application of coating films to charts, sheets or foils in order to eliminate deviations caused by human factors. Variations in speed, pressure and application direction cause irregularities. Other factors that can influence the result are the shear rate and the weight of the applicator.
It is possible to produce a large number of identical, precise application processes in the laboratory in a short time. The quality of the applied film is important for investigating the rheological properties of the applied medium.
To prepare samples for testing rheological properties, abrasion resistance, hiding power and gloss, the automatic film applicator is a must. There are several types of automatic film applicators for glass/paper/metal substrates or films.
