Film Casting Knife

The BYK-Gardner Film Casting Knife is an adjustable clearance applicator. Its extended end plates confine the coating sampie during drawdown. The micrometer adjusted gate allows clearance / gap settings from 0 to 150 mils in 1 mil increments. Metric versions produce clearances / gaps of 0 to 3800 microns in 10 micron increments.

The applicator consists of two end plates joined by a bridge and an adjustable blade below the bridge. Two micrometers extend through the bridge and contact the upper edge of the blade, allowing it to be adjusted upward or downward to control the gap and ultimately the film thickness. The blade and endplates are constructed of 1/4 inch aluminum. The end plates effectively contain the sam pie pool during the drawdown process.
