Leneta Leveling Test Blade
The Leneta Leveling Test Blade, LTB-2, is a threaded stainless steel rod that functions as a grooved doctor blade at any part of its circumference. Produces a film with parallel ridges and valleys in simulation of brush marks.
Features
- Advantages over brushout application tests are speed, reproducibility, and a regular surface pattern.
- The leveling of films applied in this manner correlates well with brushout leveling, thereby providing a reliable means for evaluating this property
- Has alternating clearances of 300 and 100 µm (12 and 4 mils), to apply alternate stripes of 150 and 50 µm (6 and 2 mils) thickness. Thus the mean wet film thickness of the test drawdown will be about 100 µm (4 mils), corresponding to a spreading rate of 10 m2/L (400 ft2/gal).
