2 Introduction

2.1 ZAA2600 – Automatic film application and testing system
The ZAA 2600 is an automatic laboratory equipment, with a high degree of flexibility.
Due to it's modular setup, the ZAA2600 can be used as an automatic film applicator or an
automated test system for linear abrasion tests (Crockmeter, Scrub Tester) and scratch
resistance tests.

A touchscreen allows easy use and configuration for accurate and reproducible application of
coating materials, adhesives and similar products with almost all film applicators.
It also allows a flexible and easy definition of the test setup.

2.2 Film application

Films with constant and well-defined thickness are a precondition for testing and analysis of
coating materials and coatings. The properties of these materials and films are dependent on
the film thickness.
It is important to notice, that the maximal achievable wet film thickness is not equal to the
gap height selected on the application for physical reasons.
The following can serve a guideline for the selection of the gap height:
Gap height
15 µm – 100 µm
100 µm – 300 µm
300 µm – 500 µm
More than 500 µm
