| 20140196840 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING POROUS POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE MEMBRANE - Provided is a method including: a step A of extruding a mixture containing a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fine powder having a standard specific gravity (SSG) of 2.19 or less and a liquid lubricant into a sheet using a flat die so as to obtain a PTFE sheet; a step B of rolling the PTFE sheet by passing the sheet between a pair of rolls in a longitudinal direction of the sheet; a step C of stretching the rolled PTFE sheet in a transverse direction of the sheet; a step D of removing the liquid lubricant from the PTFE sheet; and a step E of stretching the PTFE sheet, from which the liquid lubricant has been removed, both in the longitudinal direction of the sheet and in the transverse direction of the sheet, for example, at an area stretch ratio of 150 to 700, so as to make the sheet porous. According to this production method, it is possible to increase the PF value of the porous PTFE membrane. | 07-17-2014 |
| 20140231000 | COMPOSITE SHEET MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR FORMING THE SAME - A composite sheet material and method for forming the same is provided that includes a substrate, a matrix, and a cover sheet. The substrate has a first face surface, a second face surface, and a plurality of edges, and includes a thermoplastic material. The matrix is attached to the substrate.

In one embodiment, the extruded object is divided into individual Z-directed components. In one embodiment, the timing of extrusion between predetermined sections of one of the materials is varied in order to stagger the sections in the extruded object. | 04-16-2015 |
| 20150367620 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR APPLYING PROTECTIVE FILMS - An applicator die for creating and applying laminarized ribbons of polymeric film to a target surface, such as but not limited to a surface of an automobile body component. In one embodiment, the protective film is an aqueous emulsion of polyvinyl acetate and is used to create a continuous peelable film to protect a surface. In another embodiment, the polymeric is polyvinyl chloride and it is applied to create an anti-chip coating. The applicator die has an internal supply gallery and an outlet slot of complex shape to emit a laminarized ribbon of polymer-based material that allows the material to be applied directly to the target surface without masking. A robot is used to control movement of the die. The die includes temperature control. | 12-24-2015 |
