Abstract

This disclosure is concerned with independent fluid dispensing by a multi-slot cavity nozzle with opposing zig-zag fluid path baffle-diversion operation, generating a pair of adjacent line fluid depositions upon a web moving past the nozzle, and enabling the separate but simultaneous use of adhesives and other fluid media of different characteristics and in widely flexible multi-layer coating patterns including superposed, side-by-side, spaced and other multi-layer patterns.
