摘要:
A polymer extrusion assembly for forming a striped extrusion. The assembly includes conventional components for conveying a primary and a secondary molten polymer of differing colors, arranged concentrically, toward a die sub-assembly, which may be rotatable. The die has an opening for conveying the primary polymer to form an extruded tube. The periphery of the die opening is modified to cause thinning or breaching of the secondary polymer skin layer as it passes through the die. The periphery may be provided with teeth which furrow the skin layer, exposing the primary polymer underneath, or the periphery may be comprise a plurality of facets meeting at sharp internal corners, wherein the skin layer is forced into the corners and is breached at the centers of the facets, again exposing the primary polymer underneath in longitudinal stripes. By causing the die sub-assembly to rotate during extrusion, a spirally striped extrusion is formed.

A method for the continuous production of an elongated continuously extruded and in line polymer coated copper shape that comprises exposing an as extruded elongated copper shape to in line cooling with water covered by an inert gas before it reaches a polymer coating operation. Continuously extruded copper wire having an adherent in line applied polymer coating thereon is also described.
摘要:
An elongated strip of polymer material having a cross-section comprising: a first inner core layer of a first polymer material having a selected configuration along the cross-section of the strip; a second outer layer of a second polymer material bonded to an outer surface of the first inner core layer having a second selected configuration along the cross-section; wherein the first polymer material has a softness or durometer selected to be manually bendable and compressible; and wherein the second polymer material has a durometer or hardness greater than the durometer or hardness of the first polymer material.

The improved method and apparatus for longitudinal orientation of a tubular thermoplastic film as it leaves an annular extrusion die aims at a better control of this orientation. On its travel between the exit orifice (21) and the draw-down means, the at least partly molten film passes an annular frictional device (101), and the frictional force set-up hereby is variable in controlled manner. This device is cooled from its interior (105) in controlled manner by means of a fluid cooling medium. The friction may e be controlled by airlubrication with air pressed through holes (123) in the frictional device or through microporous metal, (102) or alternatively by sucidng the film against the frictional device. In a preferred embodiment the extrusion out of the die is peripherical extrusion, and in another preferred embodiment the film contains a blend of at least two compatible or compatibilized polymers, and the main proportion of the orientation takes place while one is predominantly in a crystalline state and the other predominantly in a molten state.

A stretch-oriented multilayer film suited for use as a freeze packaging material, a deep drawing packaging material, a vertical pillow packaging material, etc., is provided as a stretch-oriented multilayer film, comprising at least three layers including a surface layer (a) comprising a thermoplastic resin, an intermediate layer (b) comprising a polyamide resin and a surface layer (c) comprising a sealable resin, said multilayer film exhibiting an impact energy of at least 1.5 Joule at a conversion thickness of 50 nullm at null10null C. The multilayer film is produced through an inflation process using water having a large capacity as a cooling and a heating medium and including a combination of a high degree of stretching and a high degree of relaxation heat treatment not exercised heretofore.
