METHOD OF FILM COATING ARTICLES

摘要

The surface of an object is covered with a plastics film by a process in which a preformed solid and tacky plastics film is brought into contact with the surface, the film is stretched over the surface and substantially all the film made to adhere substantially permanently to the object surface through its own tackiness and without the use of an adhesive. Thus, the tacky plastics film may be held in a frame and the object pushed through the film. Alternatively the object may be conveyed on a moving belt to a position adjacent to a heated tacky plastics film and the film brought into contact with the object. The plastics film may for example be an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
