Publication number: 20110274894Abstract: This specification discloses durable In-Mold Decoration (IMD) laminates made by using semi-crystalline polymers as top films. The crystalline structure or content of the semi-crystalline polymer can be optimized with a post process treatment process, which leads to improved chemical resistance and scratch resistance. The post process treatment can be conducted after the making of the film, during the in-mold processing of the laminate or after the in-mold processing of the laminate. The treatment can be applied over the entire film surface or in discrete areas with the treatment depth ranging from the top surface up to the bottom surface of the film. The post process treatment can be accompanied by changes in the appearance of the top film which makes IMD products tunable in decoration luster appearance. Durable IMD laminates with 60 degree gloss value of greater than 90 and process of making such laminates are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2010Publication date: November 10, 2011Applicant: AVERY DENNISON CORPORATIONInventors: Ming Kun Shi, Christine U. Dang, John J. Markey

Publication number: 20080113148Abstract: A process for making a protective and decorative surfacing film comprises extrusion coating a solventless polymeric material from an extruder die to form an optically clear first layer on a polyester carrier sheet traveling past the extruder die opening. The extrusion coated first layer is immediately cooled on the carrier sheet to harden it, followed by applying a pigmented second layer to the first layer. The composite paint coat is transferred to a reinforcing backing sheet, after which the carrier sheet is separated from the paint coat to expose the outer surface of the first layer as a high gloss surface with a high distinctness-of-image, providing a transparent protective outer coat for the pigmented second layer. The pigmented second layer can be solvent cast and dried or extruded and hardened as a separate coating on the first layer. The composite paint coat can be bonded to a coextruded size coat and semi-rigid plastic substrate panel to form a thermoformable laminate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2007Publication date: May 15, 2008Inventors: Howard H. Enlow, John J. Markey, John E. Roys, Keith L. Truog, Frederick Young

Patent number: 4206589Abstract: A method of forming a self-twisted fibrous structure comprises twisting two strands of similar count such that each has repeated along its length alternating zones of opposite twist, converging the strands at a convergence point such that they partly untwist around one another to form a self-twisted structure and acting on the strands at or downstream of the convergence point by applying further alternating zones of opposite twist so as to modify the strand to ply twist ratio of the structure. The further twist is applied at a point not greater than one half cycle length from the first twist point and at a phase difference 20.degree. to 60.degree. following.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1978Date of Patent: June 10, 1980Assignee: Platt Saco Lowell LimitedInventors: John J.
