Abstract: The present invention provides for a polymer metallic strip and an improved rapid process for the continuous extrusion coating layer of the surface of a metal strip. The present invention provides for moving a metal strip by a multiplicity of rolls, pre-treating at least one and perhaps both sides of the metal strip using an oxidizing flame, coating layer the pre-treated strip surface(s) with a liquid primer, drying the primer, and activating the primer with an oxidizing flame, and or an oven and/or a corona discharge. The primed, activated, metal strip is then extrusion coated with a polymeric extrudate, passed over a temperature-controlled, chilled roll of a specific surface roughness to achieve the desired surface properties wherein such steps are performed with an edge containment system. The activation and extrusion coating layer steps may be repeated to coat the second side.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for continuous extrusion coating the surfaces of a metal strip which includes the steps of moving said metal strip by means of a plurality of rolls. The strip then has impinged on its first and second surfaces to be coated an oxidizing flame. The first surface passes through a corona discharge and extruded on to the first surface is a melted polymeric extrudiate. Thereafter, the surface is passed over a chill roll having a temperature less than said extrudiate to provide a first coated surface. The second surface is then subjected to a oxidizing flame and corona discharge and a melted polymeric extrudiate is extruded on to the second surface. Thereafter, the second surface is passed over a chill roll having a temperature less than said extrudiate to provide a second coated surface. The coated strip is then reheated to about the melt temperature of said extrudiates and quenched to provide an extrusion coated strip of the present invention.
