Publication number: 20010009718Abstract: The present invention is a process for continuous extrusion coating the surfaces of a metal strip which includes the steps of moving said metal strip by means of a plurality of rolls. The strip then has impinged on its first and second surfaces to be coated an oxidizing flame. The first surface passes through a corona discharge and extruded on to the first surface is a melted polymeric extrudiate. Thereafter, the surface is passed over a chill roll having a temperature less than said extrudiate to provide a first coated surface. The second surface is then subjected to a oxidizing flame and corona discharge and a melted polymeric extrudiate is extruded on to the second surface. Thereafter, the second surface is passed over a chill roll having a temperature less than said extrudiate to provide a second coated surface. The coated strip is then reheated to about the melt temperature of said extrudiates and quenched to provide an extrusion coated strip of the present invention.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2001Publication date: July 26, 2001Inventors: John A. Sinsel, Ralph Wilkerson, Eugene Chelen, James E. Velliky, Jyhwen E. Wang, Mark V. Loen

Publication number: 20010005549Abstract: A lubricated steel material has a lubricating film on the steel surface. The film has good press formability, film removability, and blocking resistance, and possesses a high level of rust preventing properties in that it can prevent the steel material from rusting when kept in stacked or coiled conditions with no oil application. The lubricated steel material is produced by coating a steel material with a coating composition comprising from 74% to 97.7% by weight of an acrylic resin having an acid number of from 30 to 150 and a glass transition temperature of from 5 to 90° C., from 2% to 20% by weight of a water repellant, preferably one or more classes selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid esters, metal soaps, polyethylene fine powder, and fluoroplastic fine powder, and from 0.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2000Publication date: June 28, 2001Inventors: Katsuji Kawanishi, Junji Matsuda, Hiroyuki Ito

Patent number: 6248127Abstract: Coatings are provided in which biopolymers may be covalently linked to a substrate. Such biopolymers include those that impart thromboresistance and/or biocompatibility to the substrate, which may be a medical device. Coatings disclosed herein include those that permit coating of a medical device in a single layer, including coatings that permit applying the single layer without a primer. Suitable biopolymers include heparin complexes, and linkage may be provided by a silane having isocyanate functionality.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1998Date of Patent: June 19, 2001Assignee: Medtronic AVE, Inc.Inventors: Chirag B. Shah, Laurel L Wolfgang

Patent number: 6238802Abstract: For sealing and shielding purposes, a laminate is used, including a layer of ionomer plastics bonded to a metal sheet or a metal plate. The bonding is made without any addition of adhesive agents between the plastics layer and the metal surface by pressing, in a heated state, the plastics layer against a well cleaned surface. The metal should be such a kind, that its surface is oxidized when stored in air. A multi-layer laminate is used, where one metal layer provides a good electrical shielding and an outermost metal layer provides good mechanical strength. The plastics layer at the inner side of a laminate is in the same way bonded directly to margins of electrical connector terminals made of metal.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 1999Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventor: Karl-Erik Leeb

Patent number: 6235378Abstract: A composite sheet including a first polymer layer laminated to the first major surface of a ferromagnetic substrate having opposing first and second major surfaces. A second polymer layer is laminated to the second major surface of the substrate, sandwiching the substrate between the first and second polymer layers. The substrate is preferably steel having a thickness preferably between about 1 to 3 mils. A significant advantage of the composite sheet is the increase in the utility of the composite sheet due to the composite structure.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1998Date of Patent: May 22, 2001Inventor: James T.
