Roll construction of laminated material and method for producing

A process for manufacturing a roll of laminated material comprising the steps of:

• binding a fluorine-containing polymer to a backer film comprising a release film and a base layer;
• coating the fluorine-containing polymer with an ion exchange material to create an ion-exchange resin layer;
• heating the ion-exchange resin layer and the backer film to create the laminated material;
• and
• feeding the laminated material to a roller to generate the roll of the laminated material comprising a plurality of layers of the laminated material wound around a core, wherein each layer comprises the ion-exchange resin layer having inner and outer surfaces, the release film having inner and outer surfaces, the outer surface of the release film being bonded to the inner surface of the ion-exchange resin layer, and the base layer having inner and outer surfaces, the outer surface of the base layer being bonded to the inner surface of the release film,
• wherein the laminated material is fed to the roller such that (i) a first layer of the laminated material wound around the core comprises the inner surface of the base layer of the first layer contacting an outer surface of the core, and (ii) a second layer of the laminated material wound around the first layer comprises the inner surface of the base layer of the second layer contacting the outer surface of the ion-exchange resin layer from the first layer.

A roll of laminated material, the roll comprising:

• a plurality of layers of the laminated material wound around a core, each layer comprising:
• an ion-exchange resin layer having inner and outer surfaces;
• a release film having inner and outer surfaces, the outer surface of the release film being bonded to the inner surface of the ion-exchange resin layer;
• and
• a base layer having inner and outer surf aces, the outer surface of the base layer being bonded to the inner surface of the release film,
• wherein a first layer of the plurality of layers comprises the inner surface of the base layer contacting an outer surface of the core and a second layer of the plurality of layers comprises the inner surface of the base layer contacting the outer surface of the ion-exchange resin layer from the first layer.
