BYK-Gardner 2040 Multiple Clearance Film Applicator 50-200 um

Used in coating, paint, ink, and materials testing workflows, the BYK-Gardner 2040 Multiple Clearance Film Applicator provides four selectable gap clearances in a single stainless-steel applicator. Catalog documentation identifies model 2040 as a 4-Sided Bar 60 with 50, 100, 150, and 200 ?m gap clearances and a 60 mm film width. The applicator is intended for producing controlled, uniform films on flat substrates, making it relevant to laboratory coating evaluation, drawdown testing, paint formulation work, and quality-control procedures.

The multiple-clearance configuration allows a technician to select different application gaps without changing to a separate applicator for every target film thickness. BYK-Gardner documentation describes these applicators as combining the accuracy of fixed applicators with multiple clearance choices in one unit. The 2040 is manufactured from stainless steel and is supplied with a reusable storage case according to the published catalog information.
