A spacer frame for use in fabricating a window and a method of fabrication thereof is disclosed. The spacer frame for separating first and second glass lites from each other in window. The spacer frame includes a frame forming a multi-sided form comprising a first outwardly facing surface for supporting a first glass lite that is contiguous with a first intermediate wall portion and a second outwardly facing surface for supporting a second glass lite that is contiguous with a second intermediate wall portion. The first and second intermediate wall portions comprise a first material and are linked to each other and spaced from each other by a thermal interruption strip. The first and second intermediate wall portions and the thermal interruption strip comprise an intermediate wall that bridges the first and second outwardly facing surfaces. The spacer frame further includes a film overlaying the intermediate wall portion.

An embodiment relates to a sheet comprising an acrylic resin layer and a fluorinated polymer resin layer directly formed on one surface of the acrylic resin layer; a laminated steel plate comprising the sheet; and a manufacturing method therefor.

Systems for manufacturing a composite extruded product formed of a substrate and a film. The system includes an extruder, a film application section for integrally bonding the film to the substrate, a heating section for increasing the temperature of the composite extruded product, an embosser for embossing a pattern into the composite extruded product, and a cooling section for cooling the composite extruded product. The cooling section applies pressure to the composite extruded product and sprays cooling fluid onto the composite extruded product such that the composite extruded product is cooled and the pattern embossed into the first surface is permanently set.

The present invention relates to methods for forming films. In particular, the present invention relates to the formation of films on a substrate via the use of individual pumps to deposit individual wet film products onto a substrate.

A method and apparatus for extrusion of an article is provided. A die assembly can apply flows of thermoplastic material to an array of reinforcing cables to form a composite extrusion. A slider fabric can be bonded to one side of the composite extrusion. After exiting the die assembly, the slider fabric can act to support the extrudate as it passes along an elongate mandrel, which can cause the base of the slider fabric to change shape from a flat profile to the final internal profile of the article. The extruded article can then be cooled to solidify the material. The die can include cooling for the slider fabric and means for promoting penetration of the thermoplastic into reinforcing cables.

A device and a method for calibrating a blown film are provided, said device comprising: a tubular region with at least one inner wall, through which region the blown film can be passed; a liquid reservoir, which can be used to provide a liquid and which is situated above the tubular region, the liquid being guidable between the inner wall and the blown film; and a suctioning device, situated below the tubular region, for suctioning off at least part of the liquid from the blown film. At least one liquid-permeable element is provided, said element surrounding at least parts of the periphery of the blown film. This device permits the distance of the liquid-permeable element from the main axis of the blown film to be altered.
