One of the keys to being able to carry out laboratory tests is to prepare samples with a controlled and homogeneous thickness.
The ideal system is an automatic film applicator, being a motorized system with variable speed, and where the manual applicators can be used.
As for manual applicators, the most homogeneous and precise film is achieved with the wire bar. The rest of the applicators are more flexible since you can regulate or choose the thicknesses, and end up being more economical and practical in some cases.
There are several models.
