In a coating apparatus of slide bead type for applying a coating solution on a continuously-fed web, each of edge members has a edge member for regulating a width of coating solution flowing on a slide surface. A height Dg of a perpendicular wall of the edge member satisfies a condition Db&#x2266;Dg&#x2266;Ds, when Db is determined as a minimum thickness of bead formed by a coating solution, and Ds is determined as an upper limit of the upper limit of the height Dg. A distance between a web and a front end portion of the edge member is more than 100 &#x3bc;m.

Coating apparatus and method for applying coating solution on web

Broad parts are formed on at least one passage including a passage for forming the thinnest layer among passages for respective resin layers of a multilayer sheet at an upstream side of a confluence. In the broad parts, clearances become larger to both ends of the passage along the width thereof.

Method for forming multilayer sheets and extrusion die therefor

In a coating apparatus where a coating composition is supplied from the lateral side of a manifold, a linear or curved taper along the width of the coating apparatus is given to the length a slit in the direction of flowing-out of the coating composition, so that the slit length is shorter in the counter-supply side than in the supply side of the manifold. The coating apparatus can make the distribution of the quantity of coating uniform in the case where the width of coating is large, or in the case where the quantity of flow per unit width in an individual layer is large.

Coating apparatus and machining method therefor

A coating apparatus for coating a predetermined amount of a coating liquid uniformly onto a continuously running web, said coating apparatus being formed of a ceramic material obtained by sintering at a temperature of not less than 1,000.degree. C., said ceramic material having a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of not more than 11.times.10.sup.-6 /.degree. C. at temperatures of 25.degree. to 500.degree. C., and said ceramic material having a Vickers hardness of not less than 700 kg/mm.sup.2.
