Automatic film applicator 2105 S - BYK-Gardner

Location: Fun Paper Lab
Responsible: Cristina Gaspar
 
Description:
An automatic film applicator improves the consistency of a drawdown. When more than one operator is drawing down the same coating or ink, the dry film appearance will vary because of different drawdown techniques. Drawdown speed and pressure on the applicator tool will impact the results. Film thickness, gloss, opacity, and color can vary with differing film applicator techniques. BYK-Gardner offers a large selection of automatic film applicators. The film applicators can accommodate virtually all drawdown chart sizes, applicator bars or wire-wound rods. Film applicators are available with vacuum plates or clip board designs.
The Automatic Film Applicator S has clipboard size platform that will accommodate most drawdown chart sizes.
