Patent ID: 8728580

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a film with a coating layer that forms a coating layer on a web by discharging coating-liquid having a viscosity of 0.5 mPa·s to 40 mPa·s from tips of a plurality of slots formed at a slot die constituted by a plurality of blocks and simultaneously coating the coating-liquid to the surface of a web, which is supported by a back-up roller and continuously runs, in the form of two or more layers, the method of manufacturing a film with a coating layer including the steps of: a coating step wherein the tip of a downstream lip, which is positioned on the most downstream side in an advancing direction of the web, is disposed so as to be further separated from the web as compared to the tip of an adjacent lip adjacent to the downstream lip, and downstream spacers and upstream spacers are placed so that a liquid discharge width interposed between two downstream spacers fitted into a downstream slot, which is positioned on the most downstream side of the slots is shorter than a liquid discharge width interposed between two upstream spacers fitted into an adjacent slot, which is positioned directly on the upstream side of the downstream slot, and coating coating-liquid to the surface of the web from the slot die, which is formed so that tips of the downstream spacers are placed at the same position as the position of a tip of the adjacent lip in terms of a distance from the web or further protrude so as to be closer to the web than the tip of the adjacent lip; a depressurizing step depressurizing the inside of a cover that is provided on the upstream side of the slot die during the coating of the coating-liquid; and a drying step drying the coating-liquid that is coated to the surface of the web.
