Abstract
A method of making a non-slip plastic film comprises extruding separate plasticized plastic materials in two streams so that one stream abuts against and adheres to the other to form a combined plastic layer. The combined plastic layer is then stretched by directing air centrally into a tubular formation of this layer. One of the plastic materials comprises a material having an expanding agent or a foaming agent and the stretching causes the breaking of the voids of the foam plastic to form a rough, irregular net-like formation on the exterior of the other plastic. The apparatus includes two separate nozzles arranged to extrude plastic material so as to intersect and form a combined plastic.
Claims8
A method of making a plastic film having a rougher non-slip surface comprising the steps of simultaneously extruding at least two separate plasticized plastic materials so that two streams abut against one another and adhere to one another to form a film having laminated layers defined by the material of said stream and stretching one of said layers relative to the other layer whereby said other layer breaks to define a rougher surface on said stretched layer.
