Film Applicators
 | An extensive range of readily available applicator tools to suit all standard requirements.
For numerous products, such as paint, ink, varnishes, glue and cosmetics, the reliability of many laboratory tests is directly related to the quality and consistency of the samples.
Any measurements made on coatings for the purpose of describing their physical properties (drying time, elasticity, abrasion gloss, color, shade, etc.) are made on the basis of uniform and comparable samples with precisely controlled thickness.
In order to meet such specific demands, Elcometer has a wide range of high precision film applicators and spiral bar coaters. |
Made of stainless steel and consisting of a cylindrical bar wound with stainless steel wire, these spiral bar coaters are used to apply a predetermined thickness for coatings with high leveling characteristics.
- A wide range of different wire diameters provides a range of measures for coating thicknesses from 4 to 500µm (0.157 to 19.685 mils).
- 2 standard bar widths are available,140 mm (5.5") or 250 mm (9.8"), allowing the user to apply the correct film width dependent on the substrate or test chart width.
- Other widths are available on request.
Ideal for use with the Elcometer 4340 Motorized Film Applicators.

Made of hardened stainless steel with a cylindrical applicator body, these gauges apply a coating of specified thickness and film width on flat, relatively firm substrates.
The Elcometer 3520 Baker Film Applicator can also be used with the Elcometer 4340 Motorized Film Applicators.
Each Elcometer 3520 Baker Film Applicator has four high precision specified coating thickness sizes for accuracy and is available in a range of film widths.

The Elcometer 3525 & 3530 are manufactured using the very latest machining techniques to ensure outstanding accuracy. These Baker Film Applicators allow the user to select the specific gap size required.
The coating thickness gap size can be set to produce either a uniform film or a film wedge. Each film applicator has thickness markings down each side for fast set up.
Available in two gap size ranges and a number of film widths, these stainless steel applicators can be used manually or with the Elcometer 4340 Motorized Film Applicator.

These easy to clean gauges are manufactured to the highest accuracy.
Precision ground stainless steel film applicators have a flat edged prismatic body making them suitable for coatings applied to a flat and relatively strong substrate.
The Elcometer 3550 Single Sided Film Applicator has 1 film thickness, whereas the Elcometer 3540 Four Sided Film Applicator has 4 thicknesses per applicator.
Both versions are available in a range of film widths and can be used with the Elcometer 4340 Motorized Film Applicators.

The Elcometer 3570 is made of anodized aluminium with a reservoir and a beveled blade applicator body, and is suitable for high-precision manual application of high viscosity fluids onto relatively firm substrates.
The gap can be adjusted, in 1 micron intervals, from 0 to 1 mm by the inclination of the device, using a micro metric screw. The total width of the applicator can be calculated by adding 36 mm (1.4") to the film width of the applicator
|
The Elcometer 3580 is available in a wide range of film widths and has extended sides to confine the coating during the application and is an ideal gauge for the laboratory.
The film thickness can be adjusted in 10 micron steps from 0 to 6 mm by means of two integrated micro metric screws.
Manufactured in anodized aluminium*, with a beveled blade applicator body, the Elcometer 3580 is recommended for manually applying thick, high viscosity fluids, on solid and flat substrates.
*Also available in Stainless Steel.

These two cube film applicators, manufactured from hardened stainless steel, accurately apply either a single or up to five film stripes, each 12mm (0.5" wide). Ideal for preparing samples for use with the Elcometer 5300 Linear Drying Time Recorder or for simultaneously comparing formulations. Each cube film applicator is supplied with a set of nineteen thickness gauges from 30 - 1000µm (1 - 40mils) to adjust the film thickness.

These film applicators are precision engineered from hardened stainless steel to provide four film thicknesses in one gauge. Simply rotate the applicator to the required thickness, fill the reservoir with the test coating and draw down a uniform stripe. The Elcometer 3508 is supplied with two reservoirs, ideal for preparing samples for the Elcometer 1720 Abrasion and Wash-ability Testers or for comparing two coatings simultaneously.
