  • Patent number: 8728580
    Abstract: The tip of a downstream lip is disposed so as to be further separated from a web as compared to the tip of an adjacent lip, and downstream and upstream spacers are placed so that the a liquid discharge port length interposed between two downstream spacers is shorter than that of a liquid discharge port interposed between two upstream spacers. The method includes coating coating-liquid to the surface of the web from a slot die, which is formed so that tips of the downstream spacers are placed at the same position as a tip of the adjacent lip or further protrude so as to be closer to the web than the tip of the adjacent lip; depressurizing the cover inside that is provided on the upstream side of the slot die during the coating; and drying the coating-liquid that is coated to the surface of the web.

  • Publication number: 20120225211
    Abstract: In a method for producing a laminate film, a first coating fluid containing a first organic solvent in which particles having a first charge are dispersed and a second coating fluid containing a second organic solvent in which a binder having a second charge opposite to the first charge is dissolved are applied on one surface of a running support by wet-on-wet multilayer coating to form a second coating film and a first coating film, and the particles and the binder are gelated by neutralization between the charges to form a gelled layer. This method enables to prevent the first coating fluid and the second coating fluid from being mixed together.
