Choose Your Coating System
Which Method is Right for You?
Blade coating and bar coating share similarities in terms of functionality, scalability, and application. They are both easy to use and simple to optimize, but there are several reasons why you would choose one technique over the other.
Blade Coating
Precise control and tunability
Tuning multiple parameters as you go
Material screening or multilayer coatings
Higher viscosity control
Bar Coating
Quick, repeatable application
Budget-friendly, simple setup
Scaling up to industrial coating
Coating very delicate substrates
Spray Coating
Coat irregular or curved surfaces
High level of deposition control
Popular industrial scale process
Quick deposition speeds

Spray Coater Equipment: Working Principles and Uses
A spray coater is a piece of equipment that facilitates the coating of a solution onto a surface using spray coating methods. Spray coating involves breaking up a coating solution into tiny droplets and directing this spray towards a coating surface using pressurized gas. As the droplets hit the surface, they coalesce to form a continuous film.

Spray Coating Methods, Spray Deposition and Formation
Spray deposition or spray coating is a scalable wet-coating technique used in many applications. Spray coaters are used in many industries to coat large substrates or objects with odd shapes. The flexibility of the applicator and robustness of the process means that spray coating can be adapted to coat almost anything.
