Abstract: Cavitated polyolefin films, and feedstock for producing them, and methods for producing them. A feedstock includes: a polyolefin homopolymer; polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) as a cavitating agent; and at least one pigment having a refractive index of at least 1.5 complexed by maleic anhydride functionalized polypropylene (MAH-PP); wherein the at least one complexed pigment is dispersed evenly in the polyolefin homopolymer. The feedstock is a feedstock for preparation of opaque biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films and other cavitated films.

Abstract: A process for improving the excitation behavior of a ground bevel gear set by altering the surface structure of a gear set member from tooth slot to tooth slot (Teeth 1-3). The method comprises shifting the roll-positions in a way that not every facet or flat (F) is positioned the same way on each flank (2) and/or changing the distances of the roll angle along a tooth slot (delta RPj) whereby flats are spaced unequally (i.e. varying widths) along the tooth. One or more additional processes for altering the surface structure may be included.
