Quadruple Applicator

Quadruple Applicator

Manual Four-Channel Applicator

Application width: 60 mm

The preparation of samples with controlled and reproducible film thicknesses is essential in laboratory tests.

For numerous products such as paints, inks, varnishes, adhesives and cosmetics, the reliability of laboratory tests depends directly on the quality and consistency of the applied samples.

Repeatability and reproducibility of physical parameters (drying time, elasticity, abrasion resistance, etc.) and optical parameters (gloss, colour, hue) can only be achieved from uniform, comparable films with rigorously controlled thicknesses.

Application

Multifunctional applicator capable of applying 4 thicknesses with the same unit. Ideal for samples with low viscosity. Application width: 60 mm (other sizes available on request).

Features

Can also be used with the Aplitek series automatic film applicators.

Standards

FAQS

The applied thickness directly influences the behaviour of the coating. Variations of as little as 25 or 50 micrometres can significantly affect the results obtained in many laboratory tests.

Deviations may occur in tests for adhesion, hardness, colour, gloss, drying, chemical resistance or corrosion, making it difficult to make a meaningful comparison between samples.

The square applicator uses a machined and calibrated aperture to define the film thickness, whilst spiral bars generate the thickness using a wire wound around the bar.
