Protective laminate and method for making same
The present invention is directed to a protective laminate, and more specifically to a durable woven and film protective laminate comprising an adhesive applied with a sputter coat technique and a vapor corrosive inhibitor that helps prevent the oxidation of metal goods and associated alloys during transport and storage.
1 . A method of making a durable protective laminate comprising the steps of:
a. providing a woven fabric;
b. providing a polyolefin melt;
c. providing an adhesive;
d. providing a film, wherein said film comprises a vapor corrosive inhibitor;
e. extruding said polyolefin melt onto said woven on a first side;
f. sputter coating the edges of said woven on a second side with said adhesive; and
g. laminating said woven fabric with said film.
2 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 1 , wherein said woven is a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, their derivatives, and the combinations thereof.
3 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 1 , wherein said polyolefin melt is selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, their derivatives, and the combinations thereof.
4 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 1 , wherein said film is a polyolefin selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, their derivatives, and the combinations thereof.
5 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 1 , wherein said protective laminate is two or more layers.
6 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 1 , wherein said vapor corrosive inhibitor is a melt additive.
7 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 1 , wherein said adhesive is 3-4 inches wide along said edges of said woven fabric.
8 . A method of making a durable protective laminate comprising the steps of:
a. providing a woven fabric;
b. providing an adhesive;
c. providing a film, wherein said film comprises a vapor corrosive inhibitor;
d. sputter coating the width of said woven fabric with said adhesive; and
e. laminating said woven with said film.
9 . A method of making a durable protective laminate comprising the steps of:
a. providing a woven fabric;
b. providing a nonwoven fabric, wherein said nonwoven comprises a vapor corrosive inhibitor;
c. sputter coating the edges of said woven fabric with an adhesive; and
d. laminating said woven with said nonwoven.
10 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 9 , wherein said nonwoven fabric is a filamentary fabric.
11 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 9 , wherein said vapor corrosive inhibitor is a melt additive.
12 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 9 , wherein said nonwoven fabric is a carded staple fiber fabric.
13 . A method of making a durable protective laminate as in claim 9 , wherein said vapor corrosive inhibitor is topically applied.
