Drawdown Testing Overview

The drawdown test is a fundamental laboratory technique which is used to evaluate interactions between flat surfaces (such as film, foil, and paper) and a myriad of inks, coatings, paints, suspensions, adhesives, colloids, powders, etc.

The applicators described here open up a variety of test options. Even when the drawdown method does not directly emulate a planned production process, it may be a useful pre-production test to screen materials or drying and curing methods. Please call for advice on your specific application.
