Patents by Inventor KUO-MIN WU

KUO-MIN WU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9168721
    Abstract: A tile includes a protecting layer, a printing layer, and a filler layer. The protecting layer, the printing layer, and the filler layer are laminated to each other in a top-to-bottom sequence. The protecting layer, the printing layer, and the filler layer are made of polyethylene terephthalate (PETG). Hence, the tile made of PETG meets environmental friendly requirements, is suitable for use in different locations, and easy adhesion in installation. A method for manufacturing a tile includes the steps of: providing a protecting layer, a printing layer, and a filler layer, wherein the protecting layer, the printing layer, and the filler layer are made of PETG; laminating the protecting layer, the printing layer, and the filler layer in a top-to-bottom sequence so as to form a semi-finished product; and stress-releasing the semi-finished tile product to form a tile.

  • Publication number: 20120248647
    Abstract: A method for producing polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) includes the steps of mixing PETG particles and at least one additive raw material to form a mixed raw material; kneading the mixed raw material to form a gelatinized raw material; fluxing the gelatinized raw material; filtering the gelatinized raw material thus fluxed; secondarily fluxing the gelatinized raw material thus filtered to form a plastic dough; calendering the plastic dough to form a plastic fabric; embossing the plastic fabric; cooling the plastic fabric; and cutting the plastic fabric. Therefore, the aforesaid production method can produce PETG for use as an environmentally friendly material, in a manner that meets environmental protection needs, is suitable for the use in different locations, and reduces consumption of resources.
