Synonym : 1 Sided Film Applicator, Single Side Film Applicator, One Sided Applicator
Caltech India is the leading manufacturer and supplier of CES 400 One Sided Film Applicator. It is also known as Bar-Type One Sided Film Applicator or Bird Type Applicator, is a precision testing tool widely used in the paints and coatings industry to produce uniform films for laboratory evaluation. A Single Side Film Applicator is commonly used in the paints and coatings industry for producing uniform films, and its performance evaluation is guided by international testing standards such as ASTM D823-25 and ASTM D3022. It is made of high-grade, corrosion-resistant stainless steel 440°C.
These standards ensure consistency in film preparation and reliable quality control results. Featuring a single precision-ground gap (typically 25-1000 microns), it ensures accurate, repeatable film application for testing. The single side film applicator is a precision instrument designed to apply uniform layers of paints, varnishes, and coatings on test substrates.
One Side Film Applicator is widely used in laboratories, R&D centers, and quality control departments to prepare films with controlled wet film thickness for subsequent testing of coating performance, surface finish, mechanical and chemical properties. This tool ensures repeatability and accuracy in film preparation, which is critical for evaluating coating durability, adhesion, gloss, and resistance.
Designed for quality control and research applications, it ensures consistent wet film thickness on substrates, enabling accurate testing of paint performance, coating properties, and surface finish. This applicator is ideal for laboratory testing, R&D, and industrial coating analysis, offering reliability, repeatability, and ease of use.
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 ±1.0µm (50µm and below) and or 2% of Full Scale.
