Abstract
Abstract A scratch resistant coating is applied to one or both surfaces of an extruded thermoplastic synthetic resin web by passing the web through a polishing roll stack wherein at least one of the rolls has thereon a film of a material forming such a scratch resistant coating, the coating being in this way transferred from the roll to the surface of the web.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
227 words
A method for providing a scratch resistant coating on a continuous synthetic resin web, which method comprises (a) shaping a thermoplastic synthetic resin molding composition into said continuous web in a polishing roll stack; (b) supplying a material forming said scratch resistant coating to at least one of the rolls of said stack to form a film of said material on said roll, said material being a liquid mixture of (1) at least one monomer susceptible of free radical polymerization and having more than one polymerizable double bond and of (2) an initiator which forms free radicals under ultraviolet radiation or at a temperature at or above the temperature of said coating roll and at or below the temperature of said thermoplastic synthetic resin molding composition; (c) contacting said continuous web of thermoplastic synthetic resin molding composition and said film of material formed on said roll when the monomer or monomers in the film on said roll has been partially polymerized; (d) wrapping said web, in contact with said film of material, partially around the circumference of said roll; (e) curing said film, in contact with said web and said roll, until said web has cooled to a temperature below the softening point of said thermoplastic synthetic resin molding composition; and (f) removing said cooled web, having said cured film thereon, from the surface of said roll.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
227 words
A method for providing a scratch resistant coating on a continuous synthetic resin web, which method comprises (a) shaping a thermoplastic synthetic resin molding composition into said continuous web in a polishing roll stack; (b) supplying a material forming said scratch resistant coating to at least one of the rolls of said stack to form a film of said material on said roll, said material being a liquid mixture of (1) at least one monomer susceptible of free radical polymerization and having more than one polymerizable double bond and of (2) an initiator which forms free radicals under ultraviolet radiation or at a temperature at or above the temperature of said coating roll and at or below the temperature of said thermoplastic synthetic resin molding composition; (c) contacting said continuous web of thermoplastic synthetic resin molding composition and said film of material formed on said roll when the monomer or monomers in the film on said roll has been partially polymerized; (d) wrapping said web, in contact with said film of material, partially around the circumference of said roll; (e) curing said film, in contact with said web and said roll, until said web has cooled to a temperature below the softening point of said thermoplastic synthetic resin molding composition; and (f) removing said cooled web, having said cured film thereon, from the surface of said roll.
