2 SELECTING FILM THICKNESSBefore you apply a film, select the correct film thickness:2.1 NON-ADJUSTABLE MODELS1. Loosen one of the hexagonal screws or knurledknobs.a.4The actual wet film thickness will depend on the behaviour of the wet coating.1202.2 ADJUSTABLE MODELS9030The numbers engraved on the end face of the applicator indicate the filmthickness. Place the applicator with the required thickness in contact with thesubstrate; the applicator shown below will give a film thickness ofapproximatelya 60 µm (2 mils).60
2. Slide the foot of the applicator until the mark on theside of the body is aligned with the scale at thethickness required.3. Tighten the hexagon screw or knurled knob takingcare not to disturb the position of the foot of theapplicator.4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the opposite sideb.The applicator is now adjusted and ready for use.b.Setting different values at each side of the cylinder will result in a wedge-shaped film.5
3 APPLICATION PROCEDURETake care while you are using your Elcometer Film Applicator. Damage to the working surfaces willaffect the film thickness and the instrument may have to be replaced.1. Before each use check the working surfaces for irregularities and damage.2. Fix a clean substrate on a flat and horizontal base (e.g. vacuum table).3. At one end of the substrate, spread sufficient productover a width slightly smaller than the internal width of theapplicator.4. Place the applicator onto the substrate behind theproduct.6
5. Spread the film by moving the applicator towards theopposite end of the substrate at a constant speed.6. Lift the applicator from the substrate taking care to catchany product dripping from the applicator before it landson the newly prepared film.After the test, clean your film applicator thoroughly.Do not use very aggressive solvents orwire brushes, metal scrapers, metal files orother metallic tools for cleaning.Clean the applicator using a suitablesolvent.After cleaning, ensure that all materials are removed and that the instrument is dry.Use the case provided to store the gauge when it is not being used.7
4 WET FILM THICKNESSThe thickness of the film produced by your applicator depends on many factors including; the speed of film application, the thickness setting of the applicator, surface tension, and the viscosity of the product.5 MAINTENANCEThe Elcometer Film Applicator is designed to give many years reliable service under normal operating andstorage conditions.Regular calibration checks over the life of the gauge are a requirement of quality management procedurese.g. ISO 9000 and other standards. For checks and certification contact Elcometer or your local supplier.8
