Patent number: 9156228Abstract: A method for producing a multi-layer plastic film comprising at least one compact cover layer and at least one layer which is arranged under the cover layer and made of extruded foamed plastic (foam layer), wherein the compact cover layer is connected to the foam layer thermally or by adhesion after extrusion and cooling of the foam layer to below the melting temperature. The layer made of foamed plastic is generated by blowing a propellent which is under positive pressure into a plastic melt during the extrusion process and by subsequently relaxing the propellent which is under positive pressure, wherein the foamed plastic is at first not cross-linked and is cross-linked together with the compact cover layer, in particular by high-energy radiation, only after the foam layer and the compact cover layer have been connected.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2013Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Benecke Kaliko AGInventors: Juergen Buehring, Thomas Malner, Joseph Mani, Volker Huelsewede

Publication number: 20120094073Abstract: A method for producing plastic moldings with a distinct grain/three-dimensional surface structure by grain-imparting negative thermoforming. The plastic molding is subjected to a preheating, and the molding is then pressed into/onto a negative mold that is formed with the negative of the three-dimensional surface structure to be applied. Those portions of the plastic molding that face away from the grain side are subjected to electron beam crosslinking before or during the preheating and the grain-imparting negative thermoforming.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2011Publication date: April 19, 2012Applicant: BENECKE-KALIKO AGInventors: JÜRGEN BÜHRING, VOLKER HÜLSEWEDE
