Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A process for rolling and stretching of a sheet into a tape is provided. A sheet may be rolled into a rolled sheet in the nip between two rolls of the calender and the rolled sheet is stretched immediately thereafter into a tape on the surface of one of the two calender rolls. The speed of the rolled sheet on the surface of the calender roll may be higher than the speed of the calender roll. The position of the start of the neck-down of the rolled sheet and the rate of neck-down can be easily controlled by the proposed process.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A process for rolling and stretching a sheet into a tape wherein the sheet is rolled into a rolled sheet in a nip between two rolls of a calender in such a way that a length of the sheet is increased and a thickness of the sheet is reduced without reducing a width of the sheet by an amount that is more than about 20 times the thickness of the rolled sheet, and the rolled sheet is stretched into a tape while being in contact with a surface of one of the two rolls of the calender in such a way that the length of the rolled sheet is increased and both the width of the rolled sheet and the thickness of the rolled sheet are reduced. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the two rolls of the calender rotate in opposite directions. 3. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the two rolls of the calender rotate at the same speed. 4. The process according to claim 2 , wherein the two rolls of the calender rotate at different speeds. 5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the two rolls of the calender rotate in the same direction. 6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein one or both of the calender rolls is/are temperature controlled. 7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein one or both of the calender rolls is/are heated. 8. The process according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the thickness of the sheet to the thickness of the rolled sheet is at least 3. 9. The process according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the cross sectional area of the rolled sheet to the cross sectional area of the tape is at least 2. 10. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the stretched tape is stretched further in one or more additional drawing stages. 11. The process according to claim 10 , wherein the tape is further stretched in one or more convex plate drawing stages, in air in one or more drawing stages comprising two sets of rollers, on the surface of one or more calender rollers, or in any combination thereof. 12. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet is made of a polymer. 13. The process according to claim 12 , wherein the sheet is made of a polyolefin or a blend of polyolefins. 14. The process according to claim 13 , wherein the sheet is made of a polyethylene. 15. The process according to claim 14 , wherein the sheet is made of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. 16. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the width of the sheet is in the range of 0.1 to 5.0 m, and the thickness of the sheet is in the range of 0.5 to 10 mm. 17. The process according to claim 16 , wherein the length of the sheet is at least 0.5 m. 18. The process according to claim 8 , wherein the width of the sheet is in the range of 0.1 to 5.0 m, and the thickness of the sheet is in the range of 0.5 to 10 mm. 19. The process according to claim 18 , wherein the length of the sheet is at least 0.5 m.
