  • Patent number: 10550523
    Abstract: A method for fabricating emulated wood with pores and fibers, comprising: immersing a plurality of synthetic fibers configured parallel in a plane into a resin so that the resin is coated on the surfaces of the plurality of synthetic fibers and in the gaps between the plurality of synthetic fibers; placing the plurality of synthetic fibers between two sheets, wherein the two sheets are planar sheets made from a uniform composition comprising a thermoplastic elastomer, a foaming agent, and a crosslinking agent; carrying out a heat-press process on the two sheets so that the foaming agent undergoes microcellular foaming and forms dense closed pores in the two sheets, and so that the composition on inner surfaces of the two sheets expands towards the plurality of synthetic fibers and penetrates through the gaps between the plurality of synthetic fibers; and cooling the two sheets to yield an emulated wood board.

  • Publication number: 20060213600
    Abstract: An open-cell foam manufacturing method uses a thermoplastic elastomer material as a substrate and adds composites, foaming agents and crosslinking agents to produce a first external sheet and a second external sheet, and then forms a sandwich structure having the first external sheet, a reinforced layer and the second external sheet aligned and stacked in sequence to produce open-cell foam sheets with a sandwich structure. Threads are pressed on the surface of the foam sandwich structure by a roller to improve the slippery resistance of the foam material, which not only has high elasticity and slippery resisting property, but also creates a high tensile strength due to the fibers of the reinforced layer.

  • Patent number: 7097805
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing slippery-proof foam materials having protruded threads, which comprises the steps of foaming Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) or EVA pellets into a foam material plate, attaching a high heat resisting mesh cloth onto the surface of the plate, heating the plate by a heating device to soften the material to an extent of being suitable for a plastic formation, rolling and pressing the plate by a rolling mold or a piece of mold having an even surface and a plurality of tiny grooves thereon, so that the section of the plate receiving a larger rolling and pressing force moves towards the section receiving a smaller rolling and pressing force, and then passes through the meshes of the high heat resisting mesh cloth under the condition of being held up by the high heat resisting mesh cloth to form evenly protruded threads on the surface thereof after being cooled immediately.

  • Publication number: 20050282920
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a high multiple foam manufacturing method, which uses a thermoplastic elastomer as a substrate, adds a foaming agent and a cross-linker having different functions, and uses traditional devices for a kneading and a laminating processes to produce laminates of an appropriate size. The laminates are stacked with each other and then sent into the first section of a hot compression mold for the first-time compression molding and foaming. The pre-foaming cast so obtained is sent into a second section of the hot compression mold for a second-time compression mold foaming or a normal pressure foaming to produce the high multiple foam having the advantages of general plastic and rubber foams at the same time.
