About One Sided Film Applicator
One Sided Film Applicator
Caltech india offers Single Side Film Applicator.
The Bar-Type One Sided Film Applicator is made using modern technology of metallurgy with a precision grinding machine. The accuracy of the Gap Depth is 1.0m50m and belowand or 2% of Full Scale. It is designed with ASTM D823-25 and ASTM D3022.
It is made of high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel 440C.
Precision and Versatility in One DeviceThis film applicator delivers uniform coatings with exceptional accuracy. Available in both standard and custom widths, it accommodates various substrate sizes. Its adjustable or fixed gap options give users flexibility suited to their specific application, from quality assurance tasks to innovative laboratory experiments.
Rugged Build, Easy MaintenanceManufactured from durable stainless steel and anodized aluminium, this applicator is built to last. Its design allows for fast disassembly, streamlining cleaning processes and helping maintain sample integrity across repeated uses. The smooth, polished surface finish further simplifies upkeep.
Manual Operation for Simplicity and ControlDesigned for use in controlled environments at room temperature and 085% RH (non-condensing), this equipment operates manually, requiring no external power. This ensures total user control over film thickness, with resolution down to 5 microns depending on the setting.
FAQs of One Sided Film Applicator:
Q: How does the One Sided Film Applicator ensure uniform film application?
A: The applicator features a precisely engineered gap, available in fixed or adjustable formats, ensuring consistent film thickness across the substrate. Its smooth polished surface and controlled manual operation contribute to even distribution and accuracy within 2 microns, depending on coating material and technique.
Q: What substrates or materials can I use with this applicator?
A: This film applicator is suitable for a wide range of substrates commonly used in laboratories and quality control settings. It can be used with films ranging from 10 to 300 microns thick and is compatible with various coating materials, as long as room temperature and humidity recommendations are followed.
Q: When should I use the adjustable gap feature instead of the fixed gap?
A: The adjustable gap feature is ideal when you need to accommodate various film thicknesses or customize your coating process for different materials. Use the fixed gap for repeatable, standardized applications where consistent thickness is critical.
Q: Where is this film applicator best suited for use?
A: This equipment is designed for use in laboratories, R&D facilities, and quality control departments. Its manual operation and recommended room temperature use make it suitable for controlled, indoor environments typical of research and testing institutions.
Q: What cleaning and maintenance procedures are recommended?
A: The applicator is designed for easy disassembly, allowing thorough cleaning after each use. Clean all surfaces with appropriate solvents or mild detergents suitable for stainless steel and anodized aluminium, and ensure it is dried fully before reassembly.
Q: How do I select the appropriate width and measurement range for my application?
A: Choose the film width and measurement range based on your substrate size and required film thickness. Standard options include 80 mm width and thickness from 10300 microns, but custom sizes and ranges can be requested to meet specific project needs.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this one sided film applicator?
A: The key benefits include precise, consistent film application, customization options for width and thickness, user-friendly manual operation, durable construction, and easy maintenancemaking it highly effective for laboratory, R&D, and quality assurance work.
