| 20090047855 | STRETCHABLE ELASTIC NONWOVEN LAMINATES - There is provided an elastic nonwoven laminate. The elastic layer is laminated along at least one face to an extensible nonwoven web via strand spacer elements that extend in a first direction of the nonwoven web providing for a strengthening effect in the first direction. The elastic layer is attached to the extensible nonwoven web without any significant bonding of the extensible nonwoven web to the elastic layer between the spacer elements wherein the elastic nonwoven laminate is easily extensible in a second direction without activation. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20100025881 | NET HOOK FASTENERS - The present invention concerns a polymeric film hook netting comprising a continuous film backing having a net section formed of plurality of a first set of thermoplastic strands extending in a first direction and a second set of integral strands extending in a second direction at least one of which strands has upstanding hook elements and a second integral non-net film section. | 02-04-2010 |
| 20100055326 | METHODS FOR MAKING FASTENERS - A method for forming a fasteners is disclosed comprising providing a multiplicity of suitable polymer particles, providing a base with a front surface, and dispersing the particles onto at least one discrete area of the contact release surface, forming a predetermined shape. The dispersed particles are provided in a semiliquid state of a suitable viscosity, at least some of the particles in the discrete areas being in contact with the contact release surface for a time sufficient to transform into preform projections. The method further comprises conducting and fixing the front surface of the base with the terminal ends of at least some of the preform projections and removing the base from the contact release surface to separate the preform projections fixed thereto and form engaging projections projecting from the front surface of the base in the form of a predetermined shape. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100136297 | COEXTRUDED PROFILED WEBS - A nonplanar, thermoplastic polymeric film having a top surface, a bottom surface, a midline, and a series of peaks and valleys oscillating around the midline and forming continuous ridges in a first direction on both the top surface and the bottom surface of the film. The nonplanar, thermoplastic polymeric film has two or more polymer layers with at least one polymer layer partitioned disproportionally in the peaks such that at least two of the two or more polymer layers vary in thickness across the width of the nonplanar, thermoplastic polymeric film. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20110008570 | INTEGRALLY FOAMED MICROSTRUCTURED ARTICLE - The invention is directed in part to an article that includes a polymer foam having a surface with surface microstructures, the surface microstructures have at least one extent or dimension of about 10 microns or more, preferably 50 microns or more. A maximum extent (unless it is a continuous rib-like structure) the microstructure is about 300 microns or less, preferably 200 microns or less, and generally a maximum height of 1000 microns or less, preferably 750 microns or less and a minimum height of 200 microns or more, preferably 300 microns or more. The foamed article may be provided in a variety of shapes, including a rod, a cylinder, a sheet, etc. In a preferred embodiment where the foam is provided in the form of a sheet, the foam has a pair of major surfaces, one or both of which can be provided with surface microstructures. The foam backing and microstructures include a plurality of voids, which voids are preferably of a mean size substantially less than the smallest cross-sectional dimension or extent of the microstructures. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20110039067 | ADHESIVE ARTICLE - Adhesive articles including transfer tapes and labels are described. The adhesive articles include a low elastic modulus adhesive on a microstructured release liner having a high coefficient of friction release surface. Improvements in die cut quality and razor slit edge quality are shown. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110144609 | STRETCHED MECHANICAL FASTENING WEB LAMINATE - A stretched mechanical fastening web laminate having a thermoplastic web layer with two major surfaces is disclosed. One of the major surfaces bears a multitude of male fastening elements suitable for engagement with a corresponding female fastening material, and on its other major surface is a fibrous nonwoven web layer. The stretched mechanical fastening web laminate is stretched to provide a basis weight of less than 100 g/m | 06-16-2011 |
