Viscoelastic Extrusion Processing Method and Compositions for Biopolymers

Номер: US20120013037A1
Автор: Michael J. Riebel, Milton Riebel, Ryan W. Riebel
Принадлежит: Biovation LLC

A viscoelastic extrusion process (VEEP) for biopolymers such as polylactic acid is provided. The VEEP process removes many processing and performance limitations of PLA as well as creates performance sufficient to produce durable “nonbiodegradable” products as a direct replacement for PVC and other petrochemical profile and sheet extrusion applications. The VEEP process also retains a high degree of crystallinity within the PLA for increasing toughness and to lower its biodegradability. The invention also includes an integral process wherein rheology is highly modified to allow profile extrusion and higher melt strength wherein processing is lower than the melting point of the primary biopolymer and below the browning points of the natural fibers in the biopolymers viscoelastic state.

An internal tensioning structure for use in an inflatable product fulfills the basic function of maintaining two adjacent inflatable surfaces in a desired geometric arrangement when the inflatable product is pressurized. The tensioning structure is formed by connecting a pair of plastic strips sheets via spaced-apart strands, such as strings or wires. When pulled taut, the strands provide a high tensile strength between the two opposed plastic strips. At the same time, the plastic strips facilitate a strong, long-lasting weld between the tensioning structure and the inflatable product.

Принадлежит: Pexcor Manufacturing Co Inc

A method for performing an infrared treatment includes the steps of receiving an extruded product and feeding the extruded product to an oven including at least one lamp unit. The lamp unit includes a lamp, a reflective surface enclosing a first side of the lamp and positioned to direct radiation from the lamp, and a glass disposed between a second side of the lamp and an extruded product, wherein the glass separates the lamp and the extruded product. The method further includes the step of creating cross-linking between layers of the extruded product by directing the radiation at the extruded product. Still further, the method includes the steps of directing a first gas flow at a surface of the product and directing a second gas flow at the glass at an intensity, direction, and temperature that prevents the glass from becoming an infrared source.

Integrated Process For Making Inflatable Article

Номер: US20130255869A1
Автор: Bob O'dowd, Charles Kannankeril, Mike Metta
Принадлежит: Sealed Air Corp

An integrated process for making an inflatable laminated article comprises extruding a first film and a second film, followed by cooling the first film and the second film so that the films will not fuse to one another upon contact with each other. The films are then brought into contact with one another, and selected portions of one or both films are heated so that the films are heat sealed to one another in a selected area having a desired pattern. The unsealed area between the film provides inflatable chambers between the first film and the second film. An alternative process utilizes a film tubing in lay-flat configuration to produce a laminated inflatable article.
