Modern Coating and Drying Technology

In this book, industrial engineers and others will find a much needed introduction and reference on the science of coating. Drawn from a two-day course organized by the editors, this book delineates the major processes used in coating continuous webs, emphasizing precision application technology for the high performance coatings required by so many high-tech products. From fluid preparation and delivery through coating application and drying to finished product, expert contributors discuss limitations in speed and thickness, coating defects and their causes, handling the web, drying the coated web, and the effects on the process of the surface chemistry of coating fluid and coating support. The contributors represent the paper and converting industries as well as the photographic industry.1. Zwar gibt es einige neue 'Einsteigerliteratur' zu angrenzenden Themen; das vorliegende Werk bietet jedoch eine Einfuhrung gezielt zur Oberflachenveredelung.

2. Die Autoren kommen aus unterschiedlichen Industriezweigen wie der Papier- und Verpackungsindustrie oder der Photoindustrie.

3. Alle wichtigen Verfahren, die bei der Behandlung von Flachengebilden angewandt werden, sind hier angesprochen. Die folgenden Behandlungweisen werden ausfuhrlich erklart: Verfahren unter Verwendung von Fluiden, Anstrichtechnik,
Applikationsverfahren, Trockenverfahren.

4. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt dieses Werkes ist die prazise Applikationstechnik, die fur die Produktion von
Hochleistungsbeschichtungen fur beispielsweise Magnetbander und Photofilme erforderlich ist. Choosing the Coating Method (E. Cohen).
