   What is dry film thickness?

   • Dry film thickness (DFT) is the thickness of a coating as measured above the substrate. This can consist of a single layer or multiple layers. DFT is measured for cured coatings (after the coating dries). The thickness of a coating depends on the application and type of process employed.

   What is a dry film?

   • A dry film is the coating on a surface which has cured. The coating is typically a paint, a varnish or a cured powder. But it can be any substance applied to a substrate. Throughout this section, we will consider the coating to be paint which is used for cosmetic or protective purposes.

   What is dry film coating thickness (DFT)?

   • In the field of protective coatings, coating standards and paint specifications stipulate not only a nominal dry film thickness (DFT) for each coating applied in a system but also a minimum DFT and a maximum DFT. The measurement of dry film coating thickness (DFT) can be broken down into two distinct categories; destructive and non-destructive.

   What is dry film & why is it important?

   • Whether it is a paint finish on an automobile, protective coating on a bridge, or a coating on a metal substrate, the thickness of the dry film is a critical factor. Not only does it affect the lifespan and durability of the coating, but it also determines its ability to offer the expected level of corrosion and weather resistance.

   How is dry film coating thickness measured?

   • The measurement of dry film coating thickness (DFT) can be broken down into two distinct categories; destructive and non-destructive. Destructive methods of measuring dry film thickness result in damage to the coating or the substrate. Coating thickness is measured using methods which do not damage the coating or the substrate in any way.

   What is a dry film thickness gauge?

   • A dry film thickness (DFT) gauge, often referred to as a coating thickness gauge, can be used to measure the thickness of any of these coatings when dry. Measuring dry film thickness is important when assessing cost, quality and service life of the coating. A coating which is too thick means that excessive material is being used, increasing costs.
