  "definition": "Roll coating is another common method that is often used for web substrates. A controlled amount of resin is applied to the web as it passes over and between a series of rollers. In knife-over-roll coating, a coating knife controls the thickness of the coating that is applied to the web substrate as it passes over a roller. The coating thickness is regulated by the distance between the coating knife edge and the surface of the web material.",
