Definitions

  • FIGURE 1 illustrates the basic apparatus of the prior art and is referred to below;
  • FIGURE 2 illustrates a first form of apparatus accord ing to this invention
  • FIGURE 3 illustrates a second form of apparatus accor-ding to this invention.
  • FIGURE 4 illustrates a third form of apparatus according to this invention.
  • FIGURE 1 The principle of the method and an apparatus for carrying it out are illustrated in FIGURE 1 of the accompanying drawings. Thus, referring to FIGURE 1:
  • a continuous web of film to be coated for example a film of regenerated cellulose, is unwound from a roll 1 and fed through the nip of juxtaposed horizontal rolls 2 and 3.
  • the two rolls turn in the directions shown by the arrows.
  • These two rolls define between them a trough 5 into which there is fed an aqueous dispersion of a copolymer resin.
  • the dispersion wets the film and the water is progressively absorbed, thus leaving a deposit Of copolymer particles.
  • the film leaving the nip between the rolls travels a further distance around the roll 2 and thereafter passes, via guide rollers 6 and 8, through a drier 7. During the drying step the particles of resin coalesce and form a uniform coating on one face of the film.
  • the film then passes over another guide roller 9, and it is directed back to the nip between the rolls 2 and 3.
  • the second face of the film receives a coating.
  • the film On leaving the nip between rolls 2 and 3 for a second time, the film is guided, via guide rollers 10 and 12, through a drier 11, thus forming a uniform coating on the second face.
  • the dry film, coated on both faces, is finally re-wound at 13.
  • the method while being very advantageous, has the disadvantage that the coating of the resin dispersion is often non-uniform, i.e. on separation of the lengths of film leaving the nip between the rolls 2 and 3, the coatings are found to be striated, a condition which is more readily seen if the coating composition is coloured.
  • This defect which is sometimes called streaking, may be lessened by certain additions to the dispersion, or by mechanically 0r pneumatically scraping or smoothing the coatings on the delivery side of the nip between the rolls 2 and 3. It is, however, difiicult by such means to eliminate the defect entirely.
  • FIGURE 1 of the drawings the two juxtaposed film webs pass through the nip together and are separated one from the other immediately as they leave the nip between the rolls. It has now been found that the defect referred to above may be substantially minimized by delaying to a stage beyond the nip the point of separation of the film webs.
  • a process for applying a coating composition consisting of an aqueous dispersion of a polymer or copolymer resin, to both sides of a continuous web of film which comprises causing the web to pass through the nip of a pair of horizontally disposed applicator rolls, guiding the web so that it returns to pass again through the said nip in the same direction therethrough but with that face of the film which was remote from one roll during said first pass being in contact with the other roll during said second pass, applying a coating composition simultaneously to the juxtaposed faces of the web as it passes through the said nip, and subjecting the web to a continuous drying operation between its first and second pass through the said nip and after it has passed through the said nip a second time, the juxtaposed areas of the web passing through the nip being maintained in contact for a distance beyond the exit side of thenip.
  • a coating composition consisting of an aqueous dispersion of a polymer or copolymer resin
  • apparatus for applying a coating composition to both sides of a continuous web of film which comprises a pair of horizontally disposed applicator rolls defining a nip between them, means for causing a web of film to traverse first through the said nip and for guiding the web through the same nip a second time in the same direction therethrough, said guiding means being constructed and arranged so that the face of the web which was remote from one applicator roll during the first passage of the web through the nip is in contact with the other applicator roll during the second passage of the web through the nip, means for supplying a coating composition to the said nip so that it is applied to the juxtaposed faces of the web as it passes through the nip, means for drying the web en route from its first pass to its second pass through the nip, and for drying the web a second time after its second pass through the nip, and means for constraining the juxtaposed areas of
  • the two lengths of film are adherent when they leave the gap between the rolls and remain adherent over the distance d. They then diverge towards the guide rollers 14, 15. The length which passes over roller 14 undergoes drying at 7 and thereafter a further coating at the nip between rolls 2 and 3. It then passes over guide roll 15 and is dried at 11 and rewound at 13.
  • the two lengths of film remain adherent until they pass between a pair of small presser rollers 16, 17, and separate on leaving the gap between those rollers.
  • the two lengths of film remain adherent while travelling along an arcuate path around the roll 2 and one length is then diverted around the guide roller 18.
  • a process for applying a coating composition consisting of an aqueous dispersion of a polymer or copolymer resinto both sides of a continuous web of film which comprises causing the web to pass through the nip of a pair of horizontally disposed applicator rolls, guiding the Web so that it returns to pass again through the said nip in the same direction, but with that face of the film which was remote from one roll during said first pass being in contact with the other roll during said second pass, applying a coating composition simultaneously to the juxtaposed faces of the Web as it passes through the said nip, and subjecting the web to a continuous drying operation between its first and second pass through the said nip and after it has passed through the said nip a second time, the juxtaposed areas of the web passing through the nip being maintained in contact for a substantial distance beyond the exit side of the nip prior to the separation of the webs, said distance being not greater than that at which the meniscus of liquid which otherwise forms between the juxtaposed areas
