Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8905477A1] In a process of curtain coating, the use of very high coating speeds is facilitated by application to the surface of the object to be coated of a predetermined high level of electrostatic polar charge. The level of charge which is effective to promote the desired uniformity of coating with minimum formation of coating defects is directly related to the coating speed, so that increasingly higher levels of charge are needed as coating speed is increased. The process is particularly useful for coating photographic materials, such as multi-layer photographic films and papers.
