Film Application Videos


For numerous products, such as paint, ink, varnishes, glue, and cosmetics, the reliability of many laboratory tests is directly related to the quality and consistency of the samples. Any measurements made on coatings for the purpose of describing their physical properties (drying time, elasticity, abrasion, gloss, colour, shade, etc.)  are made on the basis of uniform and comparable samples with precisely controlled thickness. In order to meet such specific demands, Elcometer has a wide range of high-precision film applicators and spiral bar coaters.
