ABSTRACT
High-speed curtain coating is an emerging technology trying to gain commercial acceptance
by the paper industry as a non-impact coating process. Curtain coating could offer enormous
economic and process advantages over conventional coating methods, due to its non-impact
and excellent coverage at reduced coat weights. Due to its contour nature, it enables excellent
coating coverage, resulting in equal coverage at lower coat weights than needed with contact
