Application – Sample Preparation PAINT & COATING

Coating Applicators
Paint application onto drawdown chart / panels requires a highly precise
coating applicator to achieve consistent dry paint film.

Coating applicators can be a bar applicator or wire wound bar.

• The gap clearance and film width are important dimensions to
consider when selecting a bar applicator.
• For wire wound rod applicators the wet film thickness, wire diameter,
and film width should be considered.

There is large selection of multi-clearance coating applicators that can be

used for many types of paint applications.
