METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRODUCING A POLYMER TAPE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing a highly oriented, high molecular weight polymer tape. The method comprises: a) forming a non-fibrous polymeric sheet; (30) b) rolling and stretching said sheet (30) to form a partially oriented polymer web; (31) c) drawing the partially oriented polymer web (31) to form an oriented non-fibrous polymer tape (33), the method is discontinuous in that the ingoing line speed of at least one method step differs from the outgoing line speed of the preceding method step. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method. The invention further relates to a material sheet comprising the polymer tapes. A ballistic resistant article comprising the material sheet exhibits excellent antiballistic properties.
