  • Publication number: 20130239792
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of high-strength ribbons having a high modulus of elasticity made of a highly molecular polyolefin, wherein the polyolefins, particularly polypropylene and polyethylene, are extruded through a slotted nozzle, are then subjected to a temperature of 85° to 135° C. for a duration of at least one second, the films are then cut into individual ribbons, if necessary, and stretched at temperatures between 90° and 165° C. in one or more steps, are rolled up or further processed directly into textiles or technical flexible sheet materials. The ribbons can be laminated into multi-layer flexible sheet materials by using adhesives or adhesion promoters, the flexible sheet materials being particularly suitable as protection from ballistic projectiles. In this case particularly in the form of plate-shaped or flexible compound bodies.

  • Patent number: 8088239
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a laminate of polymeric tapes is provided. Polymeric tapes of the core-cladding type are used, in which the core material has a higher melting temperature than the cladding material. The method includes pretensioning the polymeric tapes, and positioning the polymeric tapes and consolidating the polymeric tapes to obtain the laminate. The positioning is carried out in two, three, four or more planes. The polymeric tapes are arranged in each plane in a parallel, side-by-side relationship in a first direction, the polymeric tapes of each plane are offset in a second direction relative to the polymeric tapes in an adjacent plane, the second direction being substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The polymeric tapes of the laminate are unidirectionally arranged in a single direction in all of the two, three, four or more planes.
