A silicone embossing rubber roller has no fine depression defects on the surface and, furthermore, is not liable to produce protrusions on an embossed plastic film surface. The silicone rubber roller is such that the silicone rubber layer on the surface contains spherical solid particles, and the spherical solid particles having a particle size of 0.8 μm or smaller and the spherical solid particles having a particle size of 30 μm or larger respectively occupy 1% or less of the volume of all the spherical solid particles.

A process for forming a biofilm carrier suitable for use in a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) is presented. A blowing agent is mixed with a plastic material to form a blended material. The blended material is then heated to a temperature where the blowing agent liberates gas by decomposition. The heated blended material is extruded through a die to provide the extrudate with a profile of the biofilm carrier. Advantageously, biofilm carriers produced in this manner have increased effectiveness when compared to conventional biofilm carriers.

The invention relates to a multilayer biaxially oriented polyester film comprising a base layer B, an amorphous outer layer A and a further outer layer C, where this polyester film is suitable for lamination with metal sheets. The invention in particular relates to a polyester film which comprises (based on the mass of polyester) from 2 to 15% by weight of isophthalate-derived units in the base layer and which comprises more than 19% by weight of isophthalate-derived units in the amorphous layer A, and which has a silane-based coating on the outer layer A. The invention further relates to a process for the production of these films.

A composition and a method for preparing a polymer composite article. The composition comprises (A) a filler in an amount of from 10 to 90 wt. The composition also comprises (B) a polymer in an amount of from 10 to 90 wt %, wherein the (B) polymer is selected from polyolefins, polyamides, polyesters, or combinations thereof. Further, the composition comprises (C) an organopolysiloxane in an amount of from greater than 0 to 10 wt. %; the (C) organopolysiloxane having at least one silicon-bonded hydroxyl group and a viscosity of from 1,000 to 60,000 mPa.Math.s at 25° C. The ranges for components (A)-(C) are based on the total weight of components (A), (B) and (C) in the composition.

The present invention relates to an external cooling system for a molten film tube produced by a blown film tubular extrusion process. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a unidirectional cooling element having a unidirectional cooling interface containing a cooling gas deflector spaced adjacent to the molten film tube. The unidirectional cooling element operably expels cooling gas in a path with the flow of the molten film tube toward an exit gap formed between the unidirectional cooling interface and the molten film tube. The minimum gap between the unidirectional cooling interface and the molten film tube occurs at the exit gap, and advantageously, the unidirectional cooling interface is provided with one or more compound angles to maximize stability and cooling efficiency.

A compostable material and methods of forming the same are described. The compostable material includes about 90% to about 99% by weight of a compostable polymeric material and a nucleating agent. The compostable material has a degree of crystallinity of about 5% to about 45%.

A cast piece cooling method, a gel sheet, a multilayer microporous polyethylene separator, and a preparation method are provided. The cast piece cooling method includes: changing an opening degree of a die head so that a molten material flowing out of the die head is an arc-shaped molten material; calendering a cast piece so that the arc-shaped molten material passes vertically through a gap between a first casting roller and a pinch roller to form a calendered cast piece; and gradually cooling, so that the calendered cast piece is guided and transported along surfaces of other casting rollers to the last casting roller, and cooling the calendered cast piece, to obtain a gel sheet.

The present disclosure is directed to a film formulation that resulted in a substantially non-migratory cold seal release film with improved blocking resistance. Specifically, the multilayered biaxially oriented polypropylene film can include a core layer of polypropylene homopolymer; a first outer layer on one side of the core layer that can be suitable for sealing, printing, or coating; and a second outer layer on the opposite side of the core layer that is a blocking resistant layer comprising thermoplastic polymers which reduce blocking tendency.

The invention relates to an apparatus for producing tubular films stretched in-line by blow molding with an extruder, a film blowing line, a lay-flat unit, an oscillating haul-off unit, and a stretching line for monoaxially stretching the film laid flat in machine direction. According to the invention, the stretching line is arranged above the extruder between the lay-flat unit and the oscillating haul-off unit.
