Abstract

A simulation study on multicomponent polymeric solvent casting process was carried out using known different models and their relative performance of the model assessed in terms of residual parameters and solvent concentration profiles in the coating film. While all the models were found to predict nearly identical concentration profile for highly volatile solvents, significant variation in the profiles was observed in case of the less volatile solvents. Estimated values of the preexponential factors (D01 and D02) exhibited marginal differences implying perhaps a material balance deviation of the predictive models. The effect of air flow rate used for the drying process has been realized through its influence on the skinning behavior, low flow rate being the preferred while for maintaining the appropriate level of skinning.
