それぞれ示す。2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional slit-shaped nozzle coater, air entrained by a belt-shaped body (hereinafter referred to as "web"), which is an object to be coated, is entrapped under the coating film to cause bubble-like defects in the coating film. In order to bring about this, measures as shown in JP-A-62-186966 and JP-A-48-32923 have been taken. That is, for example, JP-A-62-186
In Japanese Patent No. 966, as shown in FIG. 7, a gas such as CO 2 gas, which is easily absorbed by the solvent of the paint, is replaced with air immediately before coating. That is, in FIG.
Is a web to be coated, 102 is a hack-up roll, 103 is a slit nozzle, 104 is a paint supply pump, 105 is paint, 106 is a raw coating film blown out from the slit nozzle 103, and 107 is the web 101. The subsequent coating film, 108 is a decompression chamber, 109 is a gas nozzle for supplying a gas for air replacement such as CO 2 gas, and 110 is a decompression pump.

気体で空気層を置換するようにしている。In the figure, the air layer entrained in the web 101 is peeled to some extent by the decompression chamber 108, and then a gas such as CO 2 gas, which is easily absorbed by the raw coating film 106, is blown out from the gas nozzle 109, and the raw coating is performed. At the contact portion 111 of the membrane 106 to the web 101, the air layer is replaced with the supplied gas such as CO 2 gas.

がある。That is, in the method disclosed in JP-A-62-186966, in order to prevent the air entrained in the traveling web from being entrained in the coating film as described above, it is absorbed in the solvent of the coating material. The entrained air is replaced by an easy gas (for example, CO 2 gas), but this replacement gas is also entrained under the coating film in a gas phase layer thickness of about 10 μm, so when the coating film thickness is thin. Has a problem that it cannot be completely absorbed by the solvent in the coating film, and a part thereof remains to cause a bubble defect.

危険性がある。Further, in the method of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 48-32923, a mixed gas of water or solvent vapor and air is sprayed onto the coated surface of the web to condense the water or solvent on the coated surface to form a paint. By improving the wettability, bubble defects due to air entrapment are less likely to occur, but since the entrained air is replaced by a mixed gas of water or solvent vapor and air, water or solvent vapor When condensing, there is the risk of entraining air and the risk of defects due to entrainment of air bubbles in the coating.

Since the temperature has to be adjusted, there is a problem that the work becomes complicated.

In the coating method, a mixed vapor of an organic solvent is brought into contact with and condensed on the surface of the belt on the upstream side of the nozzle in the traveling direction of the belt, and then the coating is performed by the nozzle.

After condensation, coating is performed with the above nozzle, so a mixed gas (vapor) of two or more kinds of organic solvents is condensed in advance on the coating surface of the strip to form a liquid film, and the wettability between the coating liquid and the strip is high. The air is eliminated, and air is not left as a gas by itself, so no bubbles are mixed into the coating film.

となく塗膜６をウエブ１上に形成することができる。The web 1 of the article to be coated is wound around the backup roll 2 with its surface accompanied by an air layer, and enters the organic solvent gas supply chamber 7. In the organic solvent gas supply chamber 7, a mixed gas composed of two kinds of organic solvents 12 and 13 is supplied from the nozzle 8 for gas supply as described above, and the mixed gas comes into contact with the surface of the web 1. As a result, the organic solvents 12 and 13 are condensed, and the thin film 27 of the organic solvents 12 and 13 shown in FIG. 2 is formed on the surface of the web 1. By forming the thin film 27 of the organic solvents 12 and 13, the raw coating film 5 supplied from the slit nozzle 3 can maintain good wettability with the web 1, so that the coating film 6 can be formed without involving air. It can be formed on the web 1.

的に判明している。By the way, the thickness of the thin film 27 of the organic solvents 12 and 13 formed on the web 1 before coating is important.
10 μm is suitable. If it is 10 μm or more, the loss of the solvent becomes large, and the load of the drying furnace (not shown) becomes large. On the contrary, when the thickness is 0.1 μm or less, the web 1 is locally
It has been experimentally found that there is a portion where the thin film 27 is not attached.

As acetone and toluene as the organic solvent 13 are stored in the tank 10 and the tank 11, respectively, and the heater 14 and the heater 15 are adjusted, respectively, to change the composition of the mixed gas composed of the both organic solvents 12 and 13.

Therefore, when the surface temperature of the web 1 is higher than the reference, the input to the heater 14 of FIG. By decreasing and increasing the input to the heater 15, the toluene component in the mixed gas can be increased and the same condensed film thickness as in the case of the reference temperature can be obtained. On the contrary, when the surface temperature of the web 1 is lower than the reference, the input to the heater 14 is increased and the heater 15
By reducing the input to, it is possible to increase the acetone content in the mixed gas and obtain the same condensed film thickness as at the reference temperature.

室７内に約９００トールの圧力で吹込まれる。The mixed gas of the organic solvents 12, 13, 22 which constitutes the gas phase of the organic solvent gas supply chamber 7 is produced as follows. That is, for example, as the organic solvent 12, 13, 22, three kinds of organic solvent 1 of acetone, benzene and toluene are used.
When creating a mixed gas consisting of 2, 13, and 22,
Since the temperature-vapor pressure curves of these organic solvents 12, 13, 22 are as shown in FIG. 6, the respective organic solvents 12, 1
When the liquids of Nos. 3 and 22 are heated to 50 ° C., the pressure of the mixed vapor of these three kinds will be 760 Torr or more (about 930 Torr). Therefore, acetone as the organic solvent 12,
Benzene as 13 and toluene as 22 are selected,
If the heaters 14, 15 and 23 are each heated to 50 ° C., the inside of the pipe 16 will be filled with these organic solvents 12, 13, 2
The second gas passes and is completely mixed in the gas mixer 17, and then is blown from the nozzle 8 into the organic solvent gas supply chamber 7 through the pipe 9 at a pressure of about 900 Torr.

The mixed gas of 2, 13, 22 does not condense on the web 1
Although it adheres to the surface and enters the lower surface of the raw coating film 5, due to the collision pressure when the raw coating film 5 collides with the web 1,
The adhering mixed gas on the surface of the web 1 easily condenses in the liquid phase, is assimilated with the organic solvent in the coating film 6, and does not remain at all as a gas body.

ないという利点がある。As described above, according to the first embodiment, the web 1
An organic solvent gas supply chamber 7 is provided on the upstream side of the slit nozzle 3 that blows out the coating liquid 4, and the mixed vapor of the organic solvents 12 and 13 is brought into contact with the web 1 to be condensed, and then the coating liquid 4 is discharged from the slit nozzle 3. Since the raw coating film 5 is blown onto the web 1 and is applied in close contact to form the coating film 6, the coating film 6 is formed.
Unlike conventional CO 2 gas, the mixed vapor (gas) of the organic solvent has no chance of entering air, and is condensed at room temperature to become a liquid and has an affinity with the organic solvent of the paint, so it immediately dissolves. Since it does not generate bubbles,
There is an advantage that air bubbles and gas bubbles are not caught in the coating film 6.

Since it is exposed to the mixed gas atmosphere in the organic solvent gas supply chamber 7, there is an advantage that the chance of air bubbles being caught in the coating film 6 is further reduced in addition to the advantage of the first embodiment.
