ELASTIC FILM LAMINATES WITH FILM MADE IN A CALENDARING PROCESS

Abstract

Disclosed is a process for creating an elastic film or sheet by calendaring a composition, including a polymer and a fabric. The composition may include a polymer, a cotton, or a combination of both. The calendared composition can form tough, flexible films and sheets. The film and sheet can have optical and physical properties that make them suitable as a replacement for some PVC films. Also disclosed is a composition for calendaring including a fabric and a polymer.

Claims

1. A composition for calendaring, comprising: (a) an elastic film comprising: a styrenic block copolymer; an oil; and optional additives; (b) a fabric; wherein the elastic film is positioned adjacent to the fabric.

2. The composition of claim 1, wherein the styrenic block copolymer is selected from a group consisting of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene, styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene, styrene-ethylene-ethylene/propylene-styrene, styrene-isobutylene-styrene, styrene-butadiene-styrene, styrene-isoprene-styrene, or combinations thereof.

3. The composition of claim 1, wherein the fabric is selected from the group consisting of cotton, polyester, or combinations thereof.

4. The composition of claim 1, wherein the elastic film further comprises greater than or equal to 25 wt. % and less than or equal to 75 wt. % styrenic block copolymer.

5. The composition of claim 1, wherein the elastic film further comprises greater than or equal to 40 wt. % and less than or equal to 70 wt. % styrenic block copolymer.

6. The composition of claim 1, wherein the elastic film further comprises greater than or equal to 20 wt. % and less than or equal to 35 wt. % oil.

7. The composition of claim 1, wherein the elastic film further comprises greater than or equal to 25 wt. % and less than or equal to 30 wt. % oil.

8. The composition of claim 1, wherein the elastic film is positioned between and adjacent to a first fabric and a second fabric.

9. The composition of claim 8, wherein the first fabric comprises a first material and the second fabric comprises a second material.

10. The composition of claim 9, wherein the first material is the same as the second material.

11. The composition of claim 9, wherein the first material is different than the second material.

12. The composition of claim 1, wherein the melt indices of the elastic film at 190° C. is below 4 grams/10 minutes.

13. The composition of claim 1, wherein the melt indices of the elastic film at 230° C. is approximately between 35-39 grams/10 minutes.

14. The composition of claim 1, wherein the peel force for the elastic film from stainless steel plates at room temperature is approximately between 0-3 lbf.

15. An article comprising the composition of claim 1, wherein the article is selected from the group consisting of apparel, footwear, furniture, and drapery.

16. A method for manufacturing a composition comprising the steps of: preparing an elastic film composition comprising a styrenic block copolymer, an oil, and optional additives, wherein the elastic film has a first side and an opposite second side; sandwiching the elastic film composition between a first stainless steel plate on the first side and fabric on the second side to create a layered assembly; pre-heating the layered assembly; pressing the layered assembly between the first stainless steel plate and a second stainless steel plate; and removing the fabric and elastic film assembly from the stainless steel plate.
