摘要:
Novel thermoplastic sheet materials, absorbant articles formed therewith and method of producing such sheet materials are disclosed. The novel thermoplastic sheet materials are soft and pliable having a high modulus, high impact resistance and tear strengths and enhanced tape adhesion. The novel thermoplastic sheet materials are formed directly during a coextrusion process which may thereafter include an embossing step. The novel, coextruded thermoplastic sheet materials comprise a plurality of coextruded layers having high modulus outer layers for permitting pressure-sensitive adhesive tape-tab fasteners to be positioned and repositioned thereon without losing substantial tape adhesion therebetween or tearing the sheet materials following their original attachments. The outer layers are formed with a first thermoplastic polymer, such as a polypropylene, having an effective modulus to resist tearing, yielding and deformation upon detaching tape-tab fasteners therefrom, and further having an effective bonding affinity to maintain tape adhesion after initial attachment. The other layer of the thermoplastic sheet materials is an inner layer(s) being formed with a second thermoplastic polymer, such as a polyethylene, to impart softness or low stiffness and effective impact resistance and tear strengths to the sheet materials. The novel thermoplastic sheet materials of the instant invention are suitable for use with articles which, for example, absorb body fluids, and are especially suitable for use as backsheet films in disposable diapers.
摘要:
A method for producing a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) film by slot-die extrusion from an extrudate having an inherent draw resonance tendency whereby draw resonance is eliminated in the production of film at high speeds. Film of commercially uniform gauge thickness is obtained having significantly improved strength over films formed by conventional slot-die extrusion of LLDPE.
摘要:
A plastic film is disclosed having a fine grid of embossed intersecting hand-tear lines formed in the surface of the film whereby the film may be torn by hand in more than one direction. The film is composed of a polymeric material incorporating a dispersed phase. The film is particularly suited for the manufacture of articles requiring sizing of the material in both lengthwise and widthwise direction to conform the film to a desired size.

Polymer blends of a polyester and polyvinyl alcohol, or their copolymers, may be fabricated into barrier packaging materials having very low permeabilities to oxygen, other fixed gases and moisture.
摘要:
Thermoplastic films and laminates are made by extrusion and stretching using differential speed rollers employing a short stretching gap of no more than one inch immediately after the extruded film product is formed. The method and apparatus control the thickness of the stretched film and impart desirable mechanical properties thereto such as film products with a high modulus for handling and suitable tensile for softness.
摘要:
Novel thermoplastic sheet materials for permitting positionable and repeated repositionable use of tape fasteners therewith without experiencing substnatial loss of tape adhesion therebetween are disclosed. A novel thermoplastic sheet material generally comprises an ethylene polymer and an anti-popoff polymer in an effective amount for increasing and substantially maintaining the tape adhesion. The increase in and substantial maintenance of the tape adhesion is accomplished without adversely affecting the properties or cost of the thermoplastic sheet material. A preferred formulation for producing the novel thermoplastic sheet material comprises polyethylene as the ethylene polymer and a polypropylene or alpha-methyl styrene as the anti-popoff polymer. The novel thermoplastic sheet materials are especially suitable for use as films which can be used as backsheets in absorbent articles, such as, disposable diapers, bandages, surgical dressings or drapes and catamenial pads.
摘要:
A decorative plastic sheet material having intersecting tear lines formed in the surface of the sheet material whereby the material may be torn by hand in more than one direction. The decorative sheet material is composed of a polymeric material incorporating a dispersed phase. The sheet material is particularly suited for the manufacture of decorative surface coverings such as shelf liners and the like which require sizing of the material in both a lengthwise and widthwise direction to conform it to the dimensions of the surface being covered.
摘要:
Microporous film products permeable to moisture vapor and which act as barriers to liquid are made by a high speed method. Such microporous products are made at speeds in the order of above 500 fpm to about 1200 fpm. Thermoplastic polymers are melt blended to contain about 35% to about 45% by weight of a linear low density polyethylene, about 3% to about 10% by weight of a low density polyethylene; about 40% to about 55% by weight calcium carbonate filler particles, and about 2% to about 6% by weight of a triblock polymer of styrene.
