Drying method

摘要

A method for drying a running web or belt-like support with an organic solvent-containing coating solution coated thereon is described, comprising introducing the support into a drying room and drying it mainly by hot air blown into the drying room in parallel to the running direction of the support in such a manner that it does not strike directly on the coated surface of the support, while conveying the support in an arch-like or straight form on rolls provided in the drying room. This drying method provides high quality coated-layers and increases producitivity. Further, this method is particularly useful in the preparation of magnetic recording material.
