Accordingly, this method enhances the performance of the film-coated metal plate and increases the application range of the film-coated metal plate by means of a more environmentally friendly producing process and lower energy consumption, and is able to produce good economic and social benefits. The film-coated metal plate produced by this method can be used for food and beverage package. A device for producing a film-coated metal plate, which can produce a film-coated metal plate using the described method for producing a film-coated metal plate. The device comprises: an induction heating apparatus, an offset roller (4), a thin film guide roller (6), a film-coating roller (7), a cooling apparatus (9), a compressing and drying roller (12), a reheating apparatus (14) and an air cooling apparatus (15).

Photochromic polyurethane laminates and methods for the formation of same wherein a photochromic polyurethane layer of the laminate is interposed between two primer coated transparent resin sheets.

An expanded multilayer integral geogrid includes a plurality of oriented strands interconnected by partially oriented junctions having an array of openings therein that is produced from a coextruded or laminated multilayer polymer starting sheet. The integral geogrid has a multilayer construction, with at least one inner layer thereof having a structure that is expanded relative to at least one other layer of the multiple layers. By virtue of the expanded inner layer structure, the expanded multilayer integral geogrid provides for increased layer compressibility under load, resulting in enhanced material properties that provide performance benefits to use of the expanded multilayer integral geogrid in soil geosynthetic reinforcement, and economic benefits compared to a like integral geogrid without an expanded inner layer structure.

A composite fiber web having superior heat resistance and sound absorption and including a center layer containing a carbon fiber and a heat-resistant layer, and to a method of manufacturing the same. The method of the present invention can exhibit a fast manufacturing speed through a melt-blowing process that will generate economic benefits. The composite fiber web includes a composite layer and individual layers with various fiber diameters resulting in a superior sound absorption rate. The PET fiber included in the heat-resistant layer of the composite layer is an environmentally friendly material with superior heat resistance due to the inclusion of ultrafine fiber. Also, the composite fiber web has superior strength, conductivity, and electromagnetic shielding and deodorization effects, which allows it to be widely utilized for sound absorption materials and in all application fields thereof.

A process for producing a laminate in a coating line including the subsequent steps of: providing a metal strip; pre-heating the metal strip to a temperature of at least 100 C.; producing a laminate by adhering a first thermoplastic polymer coating layer on one major surface of the strip and a second thermoplastic polymer coating layer on the other major surface of the strip wherein the first thermoplastic polymer coating layer includes a polymer with a melting point below 200 C.; heating the laminate in a non-oxidising gas atmosphere in a post-heating step to at least the melting point of the polymer or polymers in the second polymer coating layer, and at least 220 C.; rapidly cooling or quenching the laminate to a temperature of below 50 C. Also, a polymer coated metal strip produced thereby, or a can produced therefrom.

A method for the production of an elastic laminate, comprising the following steps in a same production line: to coextrude a first web of elastic film (F) with at least three layers (F1, F2, F1), comprising at least two different polymer materials, to feed contemporaneously said coextruded first elastic film (F) web and two second nonwoven webs (T1, T2) to a thermal, binding calender (14), wherein the first elastic film web is arranged between said two second nonwoven webs when entering the calender; wherein said first elastic film web, during the movement from the coextrusion step to the thermal binding step, passes from a melted state, in the coextrusion step, to a solidified and cold state when entering the calender, to join, through spot welding in said calender, said second nonwoven webs with respective opposite outer layers of said first elastic film web, thus producing an intermediate web (P1), to stretch mechanically said intermediate web according to a direction transverse to the same web.
