Square Applicator - 8 Gaps
Square Applicator - 8 Gaps is a BYK-Gardner film applicator used to create film applications of coatings, paints, inks, varnishes, adhesives, and other liquid materials with eight gap clearance options in one tool. This applicator helps users produce uniform, controlled, and repeatable drawdown films on test charts, panels, or plane substrates.
In paint application testing, wet film thickness variation can affect the evaluation of color, gloss, opacity, hiding power, leveling, flow, drying behavior, and appearance. Square Applicator - 8 Gaps provides greater flexibility because users can select eight different application thicknesses without changing applicators. As a result, formulation comparison, batch comparison, and quality control workflows can be performed more efficiently.
Square Applicator - 8 Gaps combines the accuracy of a fixed applicator with the flexibility of a multi-clearance applicator. This product is made from high quality stainless steel to support durability, precision, and easy cleaning. The applicator is available in various film width and gap clearance options, making it suitable for coating R&D, opacity testing, hiding power evaluation, color matching, gloss evaluation, and film application testing according to ASTM D823 practices.
