Abstract
Abstract There is provided a method of producing rubber sheeting having a top surface and a bottom surface wherein an area of at least one of said surfaces is protected against surface contamination, comprised of: (a) applying to said area of uncured rubber sheeting a releasable strip of material prior to the uncured rubber sheeting being exposed to surface contamination, and (b) curing said uncured rubber sheeting with the releasable strip attached. There is also provided a rubber sheet having a top surface and a bottom surface wherein an area of at least one of said surfaces has been protected against surface contamination by the method above.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
A method of producing rubber sheeting having a top surface and a bottom surface wherein an area of at least one of said surfaces is protected against surface contamination comprising the steps of: (a) providing an uncured rubber sheeting, (b) applying to an area of said uncured rubber sheeting a releasable strip of material prior to the uncured rubber sheeting being exposed to surface contamination and (c) curing said uncured rubber sheeting with the releasable strip attached, wherein the releasable strip of material is an internally delustered polymerically plasticized solution cast polyvinyl chloride film.
