Explanation: I think the important thing is the "continuous strip" method of production - which is called "calendering" in several references (e.g. link below) HTH "he calendering process came into being in the 19th century with E.M. Chaffee’s patent for a multiple-roll device to make rubber sheet. Of course, the process, still used to manufacture golf ball windings and elastic bands for clothing had to be tried on thermoplastics. PVC sheet was first successfully calendered in Germany in the 1930s. By the end of that decade, calendering was being used there for both rigid and plasticized compounds (the tough differentiation between the two types is that plasticized compounds contain at least 20-percent plasticizer). German Processors greatly expanded their production of rigid PVC sheet during the 1940s and 1956s, while U.S. companies of that era concentrated on plasticized PVC, moving slowly into calendering rigid PVC. Today, calendering is practiced worldwide. with rigid PVC production approaching a billion pounds annually. Roughly 95 percent of all calendered production is PVC" Reference: http://www.geomembrane.com/TechPapers/CalenderKing.htm |

peer agreement (net): +1sheeting Explanation: This is a tough one - I've used sheeting for it in the past (and remember spending ages researching it - but didn't note my source - dumb :-( ). Have to dash out the door right now so I don't have enough time to find you a source. Will have a look when I get back HTH Alison |

peer agreement (net): +3Sheet/Sheeting Explanation: In this context, the plastic raw material is extruded and calendered into a continuous sheet or sheeting. Note that if the sheet is less than about 250 microns thick it would usually be called (cast) film. See A.M. Wittfoht, Kunstofftechnisches Wörterbuch |
