    摘要: The present application discloses a coating method including: detecting a shape of an object over a coating zone which extends from a start point position to an end point position to generate first detection data before application of coating agent to the object; moving a bracket for holding a nozzle for discharging the coating agent with bringing the bracket into contact with the object to apply the coating agent to the object over the coating zone; detecting a shape of the object after application of the coating agent over the coating zone, to generate second detection data; extracting first extraction data and second extraction data in correspondence to detection positions intermittently set in the coating zone from the first detection data and the second detection data; and comparing the first extraction data with the second extraction data to detect a coating state of the coating agent.

    摘要: An in-line method to make a polymeric film with soft-feel haptic property includes the continuous, sequential steps of: (a) forming a polymer core layer of one or more polyesters; (b) optionally adding an adhesive layer and/or a skin layer over the polymer core layer to make a base layer; (c) stretching the base layer uniaxially in the machine direction; (d) coating the base layer with a liquid solution of a carbodiimide or polycarbodiimide crosslinker and a coating that includes aliphatic water-borne polyurethanes and one or more additives to enhance haptic properties, including urea-formaldehyde beads, aqueous wax dispersions and hollow sphere polymeric pigment dispersion; (e) heating the coated base layer to dry and crosslink the coating solution to form a coating layer on the base layer to create a coated film; (f) stretching the composite coated film in the transverse direction during or immediately following the drying and crosslinking step, and (g) optionally heat-treating the composite coated film to anneal the composite coated film.
