Title: Method for making a carpet using olefin block copolymers
Inventor: PEPPER RANDY
IPC: B32B27/14
Filed: 2008-12-19
Abstract: A carpet includes (a) a primary backing which has a face and a back surface, (b) a plurality of fibers attached to the primary backing and extending from the face of the primary backing and exposed at the back surface of the primary backing, (c) an adhesive backing, (d) an optional secondary backing adjacent to the adhesive backing, and (e) at least one olefin block copolymer, especially ethylene based block copolymers. An olefin block copolymer is extrusion coated onto the back surface of a primary backing to provide an adhesive backing. Additional steps and procedures can include washing or scouring the primary backing and fibers prior to the extrusion step, and utilizing implosion agents. The preferred olefin block copolymer is an ethylene based block interpolymer. The constructions and methods are suited for making tufted, broad-loom carpet having improved abrasion resistance.

Such modified inorganic polymer supports are useful in the stepwise addition of nucleosides or oligonucleotides to the original nucleoside moiety of the support by a series of process steps. The starting nucleoside which is blocked in either the 3'- or the 5'-OH and the nucleoside is coupled through the unblocked hydroxy group to the polymer support bythe coupling agent.

Abstract: An air ring of the type mounted concentrically with a moving tube of plastic at a point close to where the plastic emerges from an annular die to receive, guide and discharge air in a desired direction to expose cooling air to the surface of the tube, the air ring (20 Figs. 1, 2 and 3) having a circular array (60, Figs. 3 and 4; 70 Fig. 4; 100 Figs. 3 and 4) of a multiplicity of substantially parallel, cell-like passages (80 Fig. 3, 110 Fig. 3), each passage having orthogonal lateral dimensions (X and Y directions) transverse to the local direction of flow (Z direction) that are less than one-half of the flow length, and divide the flow path to the outlet (54 Figs. 3 and 4; 41 Figs. 3 and 4) into a multiplicity of individual cell-like flow paths, the aggregate flow area presented by the passages being at least 80% of the inlet surface of the array. The array of passages and cooperating surfaces of the air ring are adapted to deliver a general nonhomogeneous flow to the array, to momentarily divide the flow into discrete, parallel, oriented streams which remerge into a second general, radially directed flow toward the surface of the tube (50 Fig. 4), the multiplicity of streams being effective to orient air flow and to remove major turbulences and vortices in both orthogonal directions with relatively little pressure drop occuring across the array.
