Patent GB-773718-A (GB)
Title: Processes for treating films made from solid polymers of ethylene
IPC: B29C55/12
Filed: 1955-05-25
Abstract: An unoriented polyethylene film is rolled out in one direction in at least three successive stages, to effect successive reductions in the thickness of the film and orientation thereof, the film being maintained during rolling at a temperature between room temperature and the upper limit of the crystalline melting temperature range of the film.  The lower limit of this range is defined as the lowest temperature at which the normal crystalline state of the film, e.g. its state at room temperature, begins to disappear at an appreciably rapid rate as evidenced by X-ray examination, infra-red techniques or density or heat-capacity measurements.  The upper limit of the range is defined as the lowest temperature at which the crystalline structure of the film is no longer evident.  The temperature of the film during rolling is directly determined by the temperature of the rolls, the film being at room temperature as it enters the rolls.  In the example, polyethylene at 265 DEG  C. is extruded downwards through air into a water quench bath at 60 DEG  C. to form a film 6 mils. thick.  The film is withdrawn from the quench bath over an unwind mandrel by means of a pair of tension rolls and passed through a drying tower.  The film is withdrawn from the tower and conveyed, under tension maintained by another pair of tension rolls and a mandrel, into the nip of the first of five pairs of calender rolls, the nip being set at a thickness less than that of the extruded film. The rolling operation is carried out using uncrowned, polished, stainless steel rolls 10 inch in diameter maintained at 65 DEG  C. and rotating at 3 r.p.m.  A small amount of silicone mould release oil is added as a slip agent.  The film is passed in succession through the pairs of calender rolls, the nip between the faces of each successive set of rolls being successively reduced by an amount such that the distance between the roll faces is in every case less than the thickness of the entering film.  After passing through the last of the calender rolls, the film is passed over a set of tension rolls to a wind-up mandrel, and is wound up as a roll.  The thickness of the rolled film is 1.3 mils.  The polyethylene film material may contain up to 25 per cent of substances copolymerizable with polyethylene such as styrene, isobutylene, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride and other ethylenically unsaturated compounds.  The treated films have improved gloss and clarity, decreased elongation and increased longitudinal and transverse tensile strength, the mechanical properties of the film being substantially the same in both directions.  Methods of determining the crystalline melting temperature range are described and literature references are given.

Patent GB-155316-A (GB)
IPC: C10B29/00
Abstract: 155,316. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, (Koppers Co.). June 23. 1919. Coke ovens. - Relates to ovens of the kind in which each heating-wall contains two series of laterally abutting flues adjacent, respectively, to the coking-chambers on the two sides of the wall, and comprises modifications in construction mainly with the object of adapting to such ovens the characteristic features of the Koppers oven, as described, for example, in Specifications 28811/04 and 8725/11. In the construction shown, the flues are triangular in cross-section, as described in Specification 7664/11, and they are so grouped and connected with the regenerators that when combustion is effected in the flues in one half of the length of the wall the products are exhausted through the flues of the other half. The regenerator tunnels run longitudinally beneath the coking. chambers, and each is divided by a transverse partition at about the middle of its length into two regenerator-chambers, which are further subdivided by longitudinal partitions 29. Communication between the regenerators and the heating- flues is effected through ducts 36, which are at first inclined, and then turn vertically and fork to deliver through ports 37, 38 into two adjacent oppositely-facing heating-flues 30, 31 of the two series. Each flue is in communication with the regenerator-compartments on both sides of the wall 27 beneath the flues. At their upper ends the flues deliver through ports 44 into conduits 41, 42, which connect the corresponding series of flues in the two halves of the heating-wall. A port 35 for the supply of coke-oven gas from a conduit 33 also opens into each flue. The oven may be heated either by coke-oven or producer gas; in the former case all the regenerator compartments are utilised for heating air, and in the latter half of them are utilised for air and half for gas. When using coke-oven gas the air-inlet ports are partly closed by plugs 49, Fig. 13, each of which has a shoulder 50 adapted to fit a corresponding recess 51 at the top of the port. These plugs are manipulated by a bent rod 52 inserted from the top of the oven through a conduit 46 and the port 44. The plugs are so shaped that the air will still be delivered vertically. The reversing-arrangements may be of the form described in Specification 104,369.
