Abstract: According to the method and the apparatus for curing a coated film of the present invention, since an ionization radiation is applied after the O2 concentration in the near-surface layer within 1 mm above the surface of the coated film is adjusted to 1000 ppm or lower, the coated film can be sufficiently cured by irradiation of the ionization radiation. In other words, according to the method and the apparatus for curing a coated film of the present invention, since the O2 concentration in a thin near-surface layer on the surface of a coated film is decreased, the coated film can be sufficiently cured by irradiation of an ionization radiation. As a result, the amount of inert gas supplied upon irradiation of an ionization radiation can be reduced, and downsizing and cost reduction of equipment can be achieved.

Abstract: Cadaverine dicarboxylate is produced by performing an enzymatic decarboxylation reaction of a lysine solution while adding a dicarboxylic acid containing 4 to 10 carbons to the lysine solution to maintain pH of the solution at a level sufficient for the enzymatic decarboxylation reaction to occur, for example, 4.0 to 8.0.

Abstract: The coating construction has flexibility corresponding to the number of layers of multiple coating layers, by which a multilayer coating film can be produced with small film thickness without adherence of dust to a film surface, a drying fault such as unevenness induced by drying-wind on the film surface, or a coating fault such as a level variation and a streak. The multilayer coating film has a coating surface state of high quality with coating thickness deviation of 3% or less. A coating device is constructed in which at least a feed roller, a coater and a dryer are integrally incorporated in a casing, and the coating device is given a function as an independent device, whereby the production apparatus of the multilayer coating film can be constructed by only appropriately placing as many coating devices as the number corresponding to the number of layers of the multiple coating layers formed on a web between a delivery device and a winder.
