Bar Film Applicators
BYK Drawdown Bar film applicators are the highest quality and easiest to clean and maintain due to their simple design and rugged construction.
The theoretical wet film thickness is etched onto every drawdown bar. The theoretical wet film thickness is roughly one-half the actual gap clearance. If you have a gap clearance of 6 mils, the theoretical wet film thickness etched on the bar applicator is 3 mils. We can not guarantee that you will drawdown the theoretical wet film thickness. The drawdown process consists of many variables. The actual wet film thickness can vary from 50% to 90% of the gap depending on the gap clearance.
- Every drawdown bar is certified in our lab and comes with a calibration certificate
- Packaged in a handy reuseable storage box to help prevent damage
Made of 440-grade stainless steel, ground to tight tolerances for repeated use.
Comes complete with:
Drawdown Bar applicator
Reuseable storage case
Calibration Certificate - NIST traceable
Note: Drawdown bars can only be returned unused and in original packaging.
Trade in your old drawdown bar and get a new certified bar for less than the cost of recertification.
