  • Patent number: 4987014
    Abstract: A chill cylinder roll, disposed in-line and furnished with etched or engraved patterns or symbols on its surface, is employed during the extrusion coating. The pattern, to be transferred to the back side polyolefin coating, is characterized by an increase in height or, alternatively, a decrease in height of the surface level in certain areas of the chill cylinder roll, and which is further distinguished, as compared to the remaining cylinder-roll surface, by a different gloss. In particular, higher disposed surface parts of the chill cylinder roll, relative to the center axis of the roll, always exhibit a higher gloss.
