Mayer wire rod (also known as metering rod, wire rod coater) is one of the mainstream coating methods. It is a stainless steel rod made of coiled stainless steel wire. This rod is used to remove excess coat binder, thereby controlling coat weight. In addition, the wet thickness after the drawdown blade is adjusted by the wire wrapped around the roll. Rods are available in a variety of wire sizes to provide a variety of coat weights. The dry thickness is determined by the solid content of the paint binder, working speed, etc.
