The experimental case of OSP Mayer Rods at inks Moulding [with video]

OSP wire Bar Coater is the second best-selling laboratory coating wire bar brand after RDS. It mainly uses an extrusion process and has three different coating widths, including 30cm, 25cm, and 6cm, with the thinnest Can be scraped down to 1.5μm. Wire Bar Coaters are relatively common for ink film making and proofing tests in printing, electronics, industrial coating and other industries. In the printing industry, it is used to apply ink on the surface of printing substrates (such as paper, plastic films, etc.) to detect the quality of printed matter; in the field of electronic manufacturing, wire Bar Coaters can be used on substrates and circuits of electronic products. Coating conductive ink or insulating ink on the surface of plates, etc., to test the conductive and isolation protection performance of the sample coating; in the field of industrial coating, various functional inks (such as anti-corrosion ink, wear-resistant ink, etc.) are coated on mechanical parts , metal products and other surfaces to detect the performance of coatings, etc.

In this experiment, OSP No. 50 coating rod was used to scrape the ink. The effective coating width was 300mm. An imprinting bed was used to fix the substrate and serve as the coating platform. The wire rod coating operation is relatively simple. You only need to send the adjusted ink to the lower end of the wire rod, then keep the wire rod from rotating, and quickly pull the ink down to form a film. Let’s first take a look at the coating renderings of this experiment.

The coating effect is quite good and the coating is very even. The imprinting bed used in the experiment is also an assistant that cannot be ignored in the manual coating effect. The special material design can absorb some of the applied force and improve the coating reproducibility. Below is the operation demonstration video of this experiment. Pay attention to the technical engineers’ operating steps and methods!

Warm reminder: If you want to obtain a higher-precision coating effect, you can also use a film coating machine to scrape the coating together, which can better control the force and coating speed and ensure better coating effects.
