  • Coated metal articles methods for preparing the same laminated composites containing the same, and methods for preparing such laminated composites
    Patent number: 6365276
    Abstract: Coating the surface of metal articles, in particular untreated, bright, sealed, anodized metal sheets, especially bright, sealed, anodized aluminum sheets with a coating composition which contains: (a′) a fluorinated ethylene vinyl ether; (b′) a curing agent; (c′) a catalyst; and (d′) a solvent, followed by curing affords metals articles which are particularly useful as components of metal-resin composite laminates.

  • Method and apparatus for separating and reclaiming trim from a lamination machine
    Patent number: 6136121
    Abstract: A device for separating layers of laminate trim includes a pair of nip rollers defining a feed path for a laminate, at least two winders and a drive system for the winders. The winders are preferably arranged on an upstream side of the nip rollers. The device can be provided at the output of a lamination machine to receive longitudinal trim portions cut from a laminate being formed by the lamination machine, so as to provide continuous delamination of trim exiting the lamination machine. In the case of a three (or multiple) layer laminate, the device can include a third winder (or additional winders) for collecting a middle layer of the laminate.

  • Coated metal plate with easily controlled gloss and reduced heat blocking during lamination
    Patent number: 5366803
    Abstract: Metal sheets having a layer of a cured polyvinylidene fluoride paint on the metal surface and a layer of a cured fluorinated ethylene vinyl ether paint on the polyvinylidene fluoride paint exhibit excellent weathering properties, have a gloss of 25 to 80%, and may be bent to a sharp angle without cracking of the coating. Such sheets are particularly useful in the preparation of metal-resin composite laminates, because they do not experience thermal blocking during the lamination step.
