PERFORATED PLATE FOR AN APPLICATION DEVICE AND CORRESPONDING APPLICATION AND PRODUCTION METHOD

The invention relates to a perforated plate (1) for an application device for the application of a coating agent, in particular a paint, a sealant, a glue or a separating agent, to a component, in particular to a motor vehicle body component. The perforated plate (1) contains at least one through-hole (2) for passing the coating agent through and a hole exit opening on the side of the perforated plate (1) that is located downstream with a wetting surface that can be wetted during operation by the coating agent. It is proposed that the through-hole (2), in order to reduce the wetting tendency, transitions into a protruding pipe stub (7) or has a structuring that reduces the wetting tendency and/or improves the flushability, in particular a microstructuring or a nanostructuring.
