MSK-AFA-III is a compact tape-casting coater with various heating designed to produce films with consistent thickness. It has a unique driving system to produce a smooth coating on all types of materials. The flat vacuum chuck is built in to hold the substrate sheet in place. One 100 mm width adjustable micrometer applicator (doctor-blade). The heating plate with the digital controller either on top or bottom is optional for drying up to 100°C  with +/-1°C temperature accuracy. This equipment can be used by researchers on ceramic tape castings and Li-Ion battery electrode coating. 
Bottom heated upgrade to Max. 120°C since Jan.15, 2019; Top UV Light is added for the curing process of polymers since March 10, 2019.

  • It is recommended to operate the coater under a fume hood. (Click Pic.3 for detail.)
  • May need a vacuum mixer to remove air bubbles inside slurry to make uniform coatings (Click Pic.4 )
  • You may need a Slurry Viscosity Tester to make coatings consistent (Click Pic.5 for detail.)
