Fibres can be coated by passing them through a solution. At low velocity, the thickness of the entrained film is given by the Landau law. For liquids of low viscosity, we discuss the high-speed withdrawal regimes which are of technological interest. We focus on inertial effects and geometrical limitations. New experimental data are presented and discussed by using dimensional arguments. Finally, a classification is proposed.
