Film Application
Any measurements made on a coating - whether for the purpose of describing their appearance or their physical properties - are made on the basis of uniform and comparable samples with precisely controlled thicknesses. Elcometer has a wide range of film applicators and motorised applicators. Film Applicators - high precision instruments used to apply a coating of a specified thickness Motorised Film Applicators - when generating a large number of samples, these units are designed to give greater repeatability & reproducibility between each sample. Elcometer also offers a complete range of Vacuum Tables and Test Charts from Leneta - the industry standard for testing many coating's properties.
