A PVC rigid substrate, a preparation method therefor and a PVC rigid composite plate, wherein the PVC rigid substrate comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 40-50 parts of PVC, 75-150 parts of calcium carbonate, 0.6-1.0 parts of balance lubricant, 3.0-5.0 parts of stabilizer and 10-20 parts of CPVC. The PVC substrate has a high hardness, a very small heating size change rate which can be less than or equal to 0.05%. The impact resistance and toughness of a product may be greatly improved to facilitate the treatments that follow. Second, the PVC rigid composite plate has a high mechanical strength and a long service life; at the same time, the PVC rigid substrate can be prepared by using an extrusion method, which is very simple and easy to implement.

A method of making a flexible medical article or tube, for example, a sheath for a vascular access device, is provided. The method can include extruding a polymer, for example, a polycarbonate-urethane copolymer, to form a tube and annealing the extruded polymer. The method can further include cutting the extruded tube to a desired length before or after annealing, flaring one end of the annealed tube and over-molding the flared portion onto a hub, and forming the other end of the tube into a tip. A sheath formed by such a method is also provided.

A structure for use in a compressible resilient pad. The structure contains both axially elastomeric strands and relatively inelastic strands co-extruded in various patterns. The structure has a high degree of both compressibility under an applied normal load and excellent recovery (resiliency or spring back) upon removal of that load.

A roof rail for a vehicle is provided that is made of only one piece and is solid across its length. The roof rail may be made using a co-injection molding process, a two-shot injection molding process or an extrusion molding process.
