  • Patent number: 5908690
    Abstract: A waterproof and, at the same time, breathable and antistatic film produced without a support by extrusion, the film having a DIN friction coefficient of less than 0.8 and consisting of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer resins with a melt flow rate, as measured at 190.degree. C. under a load of 10 kg, of at most 70, the soft segment of the elastomer resins consisting of polyethylene oxide and/or containing ethylene oxide reaction products and the relative percentage by weight of the soft segment in the polyurethane resin being between 35% by weight and 60% by weight, based on the total weight of the polyurethane used.

  • Patent number: 5876852
    Abstract: Film of at least two layers having at least one side softening at a lower temperature and at least one side softening at a higher temperature, wherein the higher-softening side substantially consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane which softens at above 100.degree. C. on a Kofler hot bench and the median of the softening range is at least 15.degree. C. above that of the lower-softening layer and the matrix component of the lower-softening side consists of at least one hot-bonding thermoplastic material from the group comprising polyamides, polyesters and polyurethanes having a median of the softening range on a Kofler hot bench of below 100.degree. C. and at least one thermoplastic additive component containing hydrocarbon is added to the lower-softening layer.

  • Patent number: 5674600
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a film of at least two layers having at least one side softening at a lower temperature and at least one side softening at a higher temperature, wherein the higher-softening side substantially consists of a thermoplastic polyurethane which softens at above 100.degree. C. on a Kofler hot bench and the median of the softening range is at least 15.degree. C. above that of the lower-softening layer and the matrix component of the lower-softening side consists of at least one hot-bonding thermoplastic material from the group comprising polyamides, polyesters and polyurethanes having a median of the softening range on a Kofler hot bench of below 100.degree. C. and at least one additive component from the group comprisinga) additive masterbatches containing inorganic particles,b) additive masterbatches containing organic particleswith thermoplastic matrix resins is added to the lower-softening layer.

    Inventors: Nicole Hargarter, Dirk Schultze, Reinhard Kunold
  • Patent number: 5593775
    Abstract: A single-layered, plastic and elastic thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive film which does not have a separating layer, wherein it can be wound on and off a reel without the use of a supplementary separating material, is essentially free of antiblocking agents and/or lubricants and that the maximum of its thermoanalytically determined main melting peak is below 90.degree. C. and which is essentially formed from at least two olefin copolymers with polar comonomers A and B, wherein ethylene is preferably used as an olefinic monomer, and whose essential comonomers contain oxygen atoms and the essential oxygen-containing comonomers in the olefin copolymers A and B are not identical, wherein the total proportion of oxygen-containing comonomer in the total weight of polymer resin forming the film is between 18 wt. % and 40 wt. % and the proportion of oxygen-containing comonomers in copolymer A is at least 60 wt.
