LABRATORY DRAWDOWN machine - accurate, repeatable applications of test coatings

For accurate, repeatable applications of test coatings, the precision CON-TROL-CURE™ LABRATORY DRAWDOWN machine is an economical solution to many of the problems associated with manual drawdowns. The unit controls the load on the drawdown rod with a simple, weighted assembly and holds the rod securely during the drawdown stroke. This operation eliminates human-related differences in rod pressure and direction of stroke. Accurately make samples up to 12"W x 13"L (30.5 cm x 33 cm). The system is constructed with heavy-duty ball bearing slides for reliable, long-lasting use.

The Laboratory Drawdown uses a standard 1/2" (1.27 cm) diameter stainless steel bar that is tightly wound with stainless steel wire. The diameter of the wire, in the wound form, regulates the thickness of the coating. The bars are available in 45 different wire diameters from .0025"-.090" (wet film thicknesses from .25-.9 mils). Bars are sold separately.(PART NUMBER N008-005 choose 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2")
