A versatile route for materials screening
Blade coating is useful for inks and slurries across a broad viscosity range. It offers direct control of wet-film formation with relatively simple process setup.
Blade coating · AutoCoat Scientific
Blade coating and doctor-blade equipment for laboratory R&D
Control gap, speed and temperature for reproducible films on rigid or flexible substrates, from compact glovebox work to combined deposition studies.
From formulation to comparable samples
A controlled gap, stable linear motion, substrate heating and managed drying improve comparability between experiments and help establish a transferable process window.
Research questions
Frequently asked questions about Blade coating
Is blade coating the same as doctor-blade coating?
The terms are commonly used for closely related techniques in which a blade meters a liquid formulation over a substrate at a controlled gap.
Can blade coating be used in a glovebox?
Compact systems can be engineered with glovebox-compatible geometry. Final dimensions and utilities should be confirmed for the intended enclosure.
