Abstract:
The disclosed invention relates to a method of making a dry paint transfer laminate 100, comprising: extruding a paint film layer 110 over a release liner 130; and extruding a pressure sensitive adhesive layer 120 over the paint film layer 110, wherein the release liner 130 comprises: a backing liner 132 having an upper surface 133 and a lower surface 134; a first release coating layer135 overlying the upper surface 134 of the backing liner 132; the first release coating layer 135 comprising a resinous material hardened or cured to bond to the backing liner 132 and form a matte release surface spaced from the backing liner 132, the matte release surface contacting the extruded paint film layer 110; the matte release surface of the release liner 130 releasably adhered to the paint film layer 110 for transferring a matte finish to the paint film layer 110 when the release liner 130 is removed therefrom.
Abstract:
A system and process for making non-continuous articles with patterned microstructures. The articles are of high quality and may be used in flat panel display applications. The system and process use a casting roll with a pattern on the surface of the casting roll for patterning a non-continuous microstructure on a surface of the substrate, and a coating device that is adapted to apply a coating to the surface of the substrate in a non-continuous manner so that areas of the substrate that are coated by the coating device correspond to the casting roll pattern.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to coating of tubes, and more particularly to a system (10) and method for coating and/or renovating deteriorated or pitted tubes (18) to extend tube life and enhance performance. Using this system and method a thin coating is applied to the interior of a tube such that the coating is uniform in thickness and covers all regions of the tube. The coating material may be selected to minimize changes in heat transfer or may be selected to provide for the change in working fluid within the tube such that the working fluid does not negatively interact with the tube material.
Abstract:
A system and a method for renovating the inner surface (20, 22) of deteriorated or pitted tubes (18) are disclosed. The system includes: a tube cleaner; a pig device (10) with a main body portion (12); a coating applicator (16) disposed at a first end of the main body portion (12) of the pig device (10); and an end flange (14) disposed at a second end of the main body portion (12) of the pig device (10). The tube cleaner is utilized to condition the tube (18) for receiving the coating material. The coating applicator (16) is configured to distribute the coating material onto the inner surface (20, 22) of the tube (18). The end flange (14) is configured to wipe excess coating material from the inner surface (20, 22) of the tube (18). The method includes: providing a coating material in a tube; positioning a pig device (10) in the tube ( 18); and motivating the pig device (10) through the tube (18) to apply the coating material onto the inner surface (20, 22) of the tube (18). The pig device (10) is sized and orientated to disperse the coating material along the tube's inner surface (20, 22).
Abstract:
A process for laminating at least one electrode sheet onto an electrically conductive support film is provided. The process comprises heating the electrically conductive support film and laminating the at least one electrode sheet onto at least one side of the heated electrically conductive support film. An apparatus for laminating at least one electrode sheet onto an electrically conductive support film is also provided. The apparatus comprises lamination rollers forming a nip and means for carrying the electrically conductive support film and the at least one electrode sheet to the nip formed by the lamination rollers. The apparatus also comprises a heater for heating the electrically conductive support film before the electrically conductive support film reaches the nip formed by the lamination rollers.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an apparatus and process for applying varnish onto a film. The apparatus comprises a coating roller (10) for transferring varnish from the coating roller onto the film (16) and a pressure roller (12) arranged adjacent the coating roller. A means is provided for advancing the film at a first velocity through a gap (44) between the coating roller and the pressure roller in addition to means for rotating the coating roller such that the circumference of the coating roller adjacent the film moves at a second velocity different to the first velocity.
Abstract:
A method of coating a substrate that enables forming an adhesive layer on a surface of substrate smoothly without fluffing, does not need drying operation so as to ensure high efficiency and is free from problems attributed to organic solvents, such as sick house,; and a coating unit for use in the method. Further, a process for producing a laminate wherein the coating method is used; and a laminate obtained by the process. In particular, a method of coating a substrate, comprising coating a surface of substrate while being conveyed with a hot melt adhesive in heated molten form by means of a coating roll being rotated to thereby form an adhesive layer, wherein the direction of rotation of the coating roll is identical with the direction of conveyance of the substrate and wherein the peripheral speed of the coating roll is set for one 20% or more lower than or 20% or more greater than the speed of conveyance of the substrate so that the substrate is coated with the adhesive while causing the coating roll to slip.
Abstract:
A method of forming a SAM on at least one surface of a substrate by application to said surface of a 2-mono-, or 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-dithiacyclopentane so as to form a SAM prepared therefrom on said surface.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for applying a protective coating to returnable glass containers comprising the steps of transporting the glass containers by means of a conveyor line, providing a supply of coating liquid, feeding the coating to a spray means positioned at a coating station of the conveyor line, applying the coating liquid onto the outside of the glass containers on the conveyor line by means of the spray means.
