Abstract: A method for making decorative sealing strips comprises the steps of material preparation, material feeding, thickness adjustment, drying, cooling, stereo pattern making, shaping and protective surface treatment, whereby an aluminum plate or a metallic plate will be firstly wholly coated by a layer of solvent-based thermal plastic resin, a second layer of acrylic plastic of various thicknesses on its outward surface and a third layer of transparent protective film. A sealing strip thus made possesses a stereo pattern, being further beautified by the reflective effect of the protective film. Therefore, the edge of an article applied with the sealing strip will be more visually appealing.

Abstract: A composite pressure-cast bar comprises a core of a foam material that is a mixture of a recycled material, such as wood power, and a polyvinyl chloride or polystyrol plastic material. The composite pressure-cast bar further includes an inner layer made of glass fibers and an outer layer of substantially solid material. The outer is a mixture of a recycled material, such as wood power, and a polyvinyl chloride or polystyrol plastic material. A wood-grained pattern can be thermal-printed on the outer surface of the outer layer for ornamental purposes. The composite pressure-cast bar thus formed has advantages of: being fireproof and waterproof, being firm enough to secure nails inserted therein, being environment-friendly and being of low production cost. The composite pressure-cast bar can be made in a variety of lengths, which significantly reduce material loss due to cutting.
