Abstract: A method for producing a non-breathable micro-porous thermoplastic polymer film for outer covering of diapers and sanitary towels includes a dispersion step by mixture of mineral particles surface-covered with a hydrophobic layer of fatty acid, a base polymer and a co-polymer adhesive, wherein the co-polymer adhesive is selected to comprise the base polymer; and film forming step in a film extrusion line having a flat film extruder provided with an extrusion nozzle, wherein the mixture is fed to the flat film extruder forming the film, and hot stretching the film between the extrusion nozzle and the solidification of the formed film, thereby obtaining the non-breathable micro-porous film with pores sizing from 0.5 to 5 ?m without communication between the pores. The process requires less raw materials with a further reduction of film thickness, while giving a matt appearance to the film, thus making the usual micro-embossing step of the extrusion line unnecessary.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a laminar product suitable for manufacturing external covers of sanitary towels and nappies, formed by a polymeric coating deposited over the surface of a non-woven fabric substrate, as well as to the laminar product obtained using said method. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining adhesive polymeric mixtures, feeding the mixtures, in a melted state, to a curtain-type applicator, coating the substrate with the adhesive polymeric mixtures, and winding the laminar product obtained. The product obtained comprises a polymeric coating bonded to the non-woven fabric substrate, wherein the polymeric coating consists of an adhesive polymeric layer that has a reduced thickness, ranging between 1 and 10 micra, said product being suitable for medical and personal hygiene applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to profile members made from recycled plastic material, such as handles, stands, frames and legs of ironing boards, indoor and outdoor clotheshorses, etc. The main component of the plastic profile members is a polymer having a high modulus of elasticity, such as PET, polyamide, ABS, etc., as well as traces of materials that contain fibreglass. The structural profile members are produced by mixing and subsequent extrusion.
