Description

This instrument has a 6 mil and an 8 mil clearance, laying down wet film thicknesses of approximately 3 and 4 mils, respectively. These are the thicknesses most often recommended for the testing of solvent borne and waterborne architectural coatings, hence its characterization by Leneta as “Trade Sales” applicator. The film width of 4 inches is appropriate for use with the Leneta test chart standard width of 5-1/2 inches. Its “U” – Shape structure retains a substantial volume of test coating to assure completeness of drawdowns.
