Abstract :
A prediction method of the maximum coating speed of a coating material has been proposed. The maximum smooth coating speed at which the coating thickness fluctuation begins to increase can be predicted from a critical shear rate value at which the flow curve, measured by a viscometer, deviates from a power law.
