Abstract: Um in einer Folie (1) aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff Perforationslöcher
(2) herzustellen, werden auf der Folie (1) überall dort, wo
solche Perforationslöcher (2) herzustellen sind, durch eine Vorbehandlung,
beispielsweise durch Auftragen von Pigmenten, Bereiche
(4, 8, 10) erzeugt, in denen die Absorption bezüglich zugeführter
Energie im Vergleich zu den anderen, nicht vorbehandelten Bereichen
der Folie (1) erhöht ist. So wird erreicht, dass die Folie (1) beim
Zuführen von Energie, wegen der in den vorbehandelten Bereichen (4,
8, 10) verstärkten Absorption für die zugeführte Energie so stark
erwärmt wird, dass sie unter Ausbilden der gewünschten Perforationslöcher
(2) aufschmilzt. So entstehen in der Folie (1) Perforationslöcher
(2), die rissfrei sind.
