Sheen Automatic Film Applicator

Sheen Automatic

In order to obtain reproducible results from physical, appearance and chemical performance testing of surface coatings, it is essential to prepare uniform films of controlled thickness.

This can be difficult to achieve with hand application methods which often result in variations between different operators, and for this reason automatic application methods are recommended.


This automatic instrument has been designed to produce consistent results when used with a wide range of different applicators e.g. Block Spreaders, Wire Wound Rods, Bird Type Applicators, Sag Index Applicators, Sagging and Leveling Testers and many others. The unique drive system runs smoothly with all types of coating material at all film thicknesses to eliminate the "banding" that can occur with low film coatings such as inks, and transparent coatings such as woodstains or automotive clearcoats.
