Minimum Coat Weight (Drawdown) and Maximum Line Speed as a Function of Die Throughput Rate, 1996 Polymers, Laminations & Coatings Conference Proceedings
Certain extrusion coating applications require very thin coatings of a polyolefin at very fast line speeds. The extrusion coater should be aware that his die throughput rate significantly affects minimum coat weight and maximum line speed. Polyolefin molecular weight distribution plays a major role in determining minimum coat weight and maximum line speed.
