Angled curtain coating: An experimental study. An experimental investigation into the effect of die angle on air entrainment velocity in curtain coating under a range of operating conditions.

In all coating applications, a liquid film displaces air in contact with a dry solid substrate. At a low substrate speed a thin uniform wetting line is formed on the substrates surface, but at a high speed the wetting line becomes segmented and unsteady as air becomes entrained between the substrate...
