The convective drying of a multicomponent polymeric solution containing two volatile components (acetone and ethanol), one non-volatile (cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate), and an optional non-volatile component (ethylene glycol) as a softener was studied. Experiments were carried-out on a flat thin film geometry in batch mode. A mathematical model was presented to describe the composition profiles in the film as a function of time. Experiments showed that the drying rate exhibits two distinct falling periods. The addition of a softener changed the drying behaviour. Experiments where the softener was present show a higher and faster decrease in evaporation rates during the initial stage of the drying process. Physically, the film developed a membrane on the surface at the beginning of the evaporation, becoming thicker as the solvents were depleted. Lateral or edge drying was observed along the exposed evaporation surface. Simulation results have a good qualitative agreement with experiments.
