  • Patent number: 5236657
    Abstract: The production of multi-layer mouldings (17) from a sheet (6) injection-moulded behind with a resin can be simplified by the sheet (6) being deformed in an injection mould by means of a fluid pressure medium, in particular nitrogen, at at least 20 bar and the deformed sheet (6) injection-moulded behind with resin directly thereafter in this injection mould, a pressure keeping the deformed sheet (6) in position being maintained during the injection-moulding behind.

  • Patent number: 5217563
    Abstract: Cold-stretchable sheet material is isostatically formed at an operating temperature beneath the softening temperature of the sheet material by means of a fluid pressure medium at a pressure of more than 20 bars so as to produce a deep-drawn formed plastics piece. Forming may take place abruptly. The sheet to be formed may be provided with a coating such as an ink imprint. The resulting thin-walled deep-drawn piece may be backed and reinforced by injecting further plastics material.

  • Patent number: 5108530
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a deep-drawn formed plastic piece comprises providing a cold-stretchable sheet material with a coating selected from a group of an ink film, an ink imprint, a vacuum evaporated metallic thin film, and an electrically conductive varnish film. The coated sheet is heated with a fluid pressure medium which has a fluid medium pressure of more than 20 bars, and at an operating temperature lower than the softening temperature of the sheet material, in order to deform the sheet material isostatically to obtain the deep-drawn formed coated plastic piece.

  • Patent number: 5076987
    Abstract: A process for the production of optically isotropic extrusion films is disclosed. Accordingly in a first process step a thermoplsatic resin is extruded to form a film having a thickness below 600 .mu.m. The second process step entailsa) calendering said film between a ground elastic roller and a high gloss steel roller to produce a film having a high gloss surface and a matt surface, orb) calendering said film between a lacquered elastic roller and a high gloss steel roller to produce a film having high gloss on both surfaces, orc) calendering said film between a ground elastic roller and a high gloss steel roller to produce a film having a high gloss surface and a matt surface, and then coating said matt surface with a melt of said thermoplastic polymer and calendering the resulting coated film between a high gloss steel roller and a ground elastic roller, with the high gloss side of the coated film facing the roller of elastic material.
