Abstract
Abstract In a process of making sheet material comprising a substrate web of synthetic thermoplastic material and an adhesive layer consisting of a non-crosslinkable elastomer the elastomeric material is heated above its devolatilization temperature by a feed screw of a screw extruder and is devolatilized through venting means (vent opening and vacuum pump 21) and is subsequently pressurized by a booster 7 to a pressure which is sufficient to overcome the backpressure applied by the succeeding blow head.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A process of making sheet material comprising a substrate web of synthetic thermoplastic material and an adhesive layer of a non-crosslinkable elastomer, comprising the steps of co-extruding thermoplastic material and non-crosslinkable elastomeric material through an extrusion die to produce the sheet material, heating the elastomeric material, prior to extrusion through the extrusion die, above its devolatilization temperature by a feed screw of a screw extruder, devolatilizing the heated elastomeric material through venting means in the screw extruder, and subsequently pressurizing the devolatilized elastomeric material by a booster to a pressure which is sufficient to overcome back pressure applied by the extrusion die.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A process of making sheet material comprising a substrate web of synthetic thermoplastic material and an adhesive layer of a non-crosslinkable elastomer, comprising the steps of co-extruding thermoplastic material and non-crosslinkable elastomeric material through an extrusion die to produce the sheet material, heating the elastomeric material, prior to extrusion through the extrusion die, above its devolatilization temperature by a feed screw of a screw extruder, devolatilizing the heated elastomeric material through venting means in the screw extruder, and subsequently pressurizing the devolatilized elastomeric material by a booster to a pressure which is sufficient to overcome back pressure applied by the extrusion die.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the booster is a positive-displacement pump.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process according to claim 1, wherein the booster is a spinning pump type gear pump or a double-screw feeder.
