Article comprising first and second continuous polymeric layers having at least one polymeric layer exhibiting a random network of strands and connective regions disposed between the first and second continuous polymeric layers. In some embodiments, the article is a tape and polymeric multilayer film having a slip resistant surface.

The present disclosure generally relates to extrusion die systems. In particular, the present disclosure relates to the cyclical extrusion of materials to generate small sized grain features, generally in the range of nanosized grain features, in a tubular or profile shape, in which the individual nanolayers possess pores and/or polymer crystals oriented parallel to the extrusion flow direction and including products with enhanced permeation properties.

A method for wrapping a stream of material or stream of layers of materials includes feeding a stream of material or stream of layers of materials into a die containing a wrapping deflector which acts to wrap the stream into a tubular or profile shape.

Polymeric multilayer film comprising at least two adjacent layers each exhibiting a random network of strands and connective regions. The polymeric multilayer films are useful, for example, for tape and graphic articles.

A two piece adapter for extrusion of cylindrical core-shell structures using conventional biomedical needles includes first and second adapter pieces. The first adapter piece includes first and second (core and shell) inlet ports. The core inlet port leads directly to a male Luer fitting attachable to a core needle and surrounded by a threaded chamber. The shell inlet port is led, via a side chamber, into the side of the threaded chamber. The second adapter piece attaches to the bottom of the threaded chamber and is configured to attach to a shell needle, so that the shaft of the core needle sits inside the shaft of the shell needle.

A manifold plate for a manifold for supplying thermoplastic plastic melt to at least one extrusion head for producing a preform is disclosed. The manifold plate includes: a first plate side and a second plate side, a distribution groove incorporated in the first plate side and extending in a plate plane of the first plate side, and at least one connecting channel adjoining the distribution groove, which is worked into the manifold plate and ends at an outlet opening in the second plate side. The manifold plate is characterized in that the at least one connecting channel is milled into the manifold plate and, in the flow direction, has a course which is curved at least in sections towards the second plate side. A manifold, an extrusion assembly and a method for manufacturing a manifold plate are also disclosed.

The present invention provides a spider for a die head and die tooling that utilizes curved flow guides to direct the flow of plastic through the die head and die tooling. The spider leg splits the stream of plastic flowing through the spider into two independent streams at the upstream end. The downstream end comprises two curved flow guides that are configured to direct the two streams of plastic towards a longitudinal center plane of the spider leg. The turbulence caused by the curved flow guides creates obtuse or acute angled welding lines between the two streams of plastic. These obtuse and acute angled welding lines provide stronger bonds than the known spider legs that create butt welding or right angled welding lines.
