  • Publication number: 20140272380
    Abstract: A co-extruded plastic film structure that has increased rigidity. The film is extruded on a three layer extrusion line with the core layer based on a foamed polymer. The outer layers comprise a polyolefin combined with non-plastic particulate. The film may be coated onto a substrate, such as paper.

  • Publication number: 20130130005
    Abstract: A co-extruded plastic film comprises an outer layer formed of a high density polymer or co-polymer having a high surface energy, such as a medium molecular weight high density polyethylene that is corona treated or includes a relatively polar polymer, a core layer preferably formed of a polyolefin, which can include linear low density polyethylene or a foamed polymer preferably produced by an endothermic blowing agent, and an inner layer formed of a polymer that includes a filler of sufficiently large particle size and in a sufficiently large amount that vapors can escape laterally from under the film. This film allows vapors to disperse and can also be moisture absorbent and vapor permeable. The film also has the benefit that one surface has high paint adherence and the opposite surface clings to a substrate while having good lateral transmissivity of vapors.

  • Publication number: 20100003463
    Abstract: A co-extruded plastic film comprises an outer layer formed of a high density polymer or co-polymer having a high surface energy, such as a medium molecular weight high density polyethylene that is corona treated or includes a relatively polar polymer; a core layer preferably formed of a polyolefin, which can include linear low density polyethylene or a foamed polymer preferably produced by an endothermic blowing agent; and an inner layer formed of a polymer or co-polymer having good static or physical cling properties that includes a filler of sufficiently large particle size and in a sufficiently large amount that water vapor can escape laterally from under the film. The inner layer also can include a desiccant and can be embossed. This film allows vapors to disperse and can also be moisture absorbent and vapor permeable. The film also has the benefit that one surface has high paint adherence and the opposite surface clings to a substrate, typically a painted metal or simple metal surface.

  • Patent number: 4676376
    Abstract: A temporary protective cover for an automobile seat or the like which comprises an elongated strip of film with a pocket or cap at the upper end that fits over the upper end of the set, with the remaining portion of the film extending downwardly over the front surface of the seat. The film is a co-extruded film formed of two different thermoplastic materials having different cling properties, such that a sticky side of the film faces inwardly against the seat and a slippery side faces outwardly. High density polyethylene forms one surface and low density or linear low density polyethylene forms the other surface. A seat cover thus formed clings to the seat and prevents dislodging of the seat cover even though the seat cover may be subjected to a sideways displacement force when a person or other object slides across the exterior surface of the seat cover.
