1.0 Introduction

In order to obtain reproducible results from physical, appearance and chemical performance

testing of surface coatings, it is essential to prepare uniform films of controlled thicknesses.

This can be difficult to achieve with hand application methods which often result in variations

between operators, and for this reason automatic application methods are recommended.

Our automatic instruments have been designed to produce consistent results when used with

a wide range of different applicators e.g. Block Spreaders, Wire Wound Bars, Bird Type

Applicators, Sag Index Applicators, Sagging and Levelling Testers and many others in order

to provide the benefits of reproducibility and control of application.

These instruments have a unique drive system that has been designed to run smoothly with

all types of coating material at all film thicknesses to eliminate the " banding" that can occur

with thin film coatings such as inks and transparent coatings such as woodstains or automotive clearcoats.
