Abstract: The invention relates to coextruded foils with prism structure, to a process for production of coextruded foils with prism structure and to uses.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a thermoplastic plastic film. According to said method, the thermoplastic plastic is melted and transported in an extrusion installation comprising an extruder, an extrusion nozzle with a wide-slot delivery opening and a chill roll, which is fixed to a roll system and then leaves the delivery opening of the extrusion nozzle in the form of a flat melted web. Said melted web is then applied to the chill roll and is cooled. The invention is characterised in that it uses an extrusion installation, in which the distance between the delivery opening of the extrusion nozzle and the surface of the cooled roll does not vary by more than +/?50 ?m during the operating time. The invention also relates to a film of this type and to uses of the latter.

Abstract: The invention relates to optical diffuser plates (1) made of transparent plastics such as polycarbonate or polymethacrylate. Several thin strips (2) made of plastic B inserted into plates made of transparent plastic A with the proviso that A and B are incompatible and the strips (2) made of plastic B are subsequently withdrawn. The hollows that are formed in the plate (1) made of plastic A are used to deflect light.

Abstract: For producing a multi-extrudate of thermoplastically processable plastic, a coextrusion adapter block has a multi-part slide having a plurality of side-by-side slide sections mutually spaced in a direction transverse to the flow direction and slidably fitted in the adapter block for movement to adjustably protrude into a secondary runner for adjusting the thickness of a molten extrudate therein. A multi-layer extrudate emerging from the adapter block is further extruded in an extrusion die, and the thickness of at least one layer thereof is measured at a plurality of positions along the width thereof. The width measurements are used to control the positions of corresponding slide sections so that the layer thicknesses can be accurately controlled during an extruding operation.
