Definition:  Coating method in which excess coating color is removed and the coating is smoothed by a blade bearing against a metal or rubber-covered backing roll for the paper web.
Definition source:  EN 9
Context:  Blade coating results in good filling in of the surface valleys, but the uniformity of coating layer thickness is sacrificed to obtain increased smoothness. The film coater and rod coater both provide intermediate coverage, but smoothness is not as good as that achieved with a blade or air knife. Each coating process forms a somewhat different layer; hence, some coating operations employ multiple coating steps to combine the advantages of two or more methods.
