In-Mold Decorated Articles And Methods

View page
US Patent:
7364677, Apr 29, 2008
Filed:
May 18, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/849277
Inventors:
Levi A. Kishbaugh - Groveland MA, US
Kevin J. Levesque - Andover MA, US
David E. Pierick - San Diego CA, US
Assignee:
Trexel, Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
B29C 44/06
US Classification:
264 464, 264 466, 264 50, 264 53, 264257
Abstract:
The invention provides in-mold decorated articles and methods to form the articles. The in-mold decorated articles include a polymeric portion having a substrate material adhered to a surface of the polymeric portion. The substrate material may be, for example, a film or a fabric. In some embodiments, the polymeric portion may be a foam and, particularly, a microcellular polymeric material. The articles are formed by injecting a mixture of blowing agent and polymeric material into a mold cavity in which the substrate material is disposed, so that the substrate material is forced against a wall of the mold cavity. The blowing agent, which in certain preferred cases is a supercritical fluid, decreases the viscosity of the polymeric material and, therefore, enables reductions in injection pressures and temperatures. Reduced injection temperature and pressure may widen the processing window, increase flexibility in the selection of substrate materials, and can eliminate the need for a barrier layer that is sometimes used in conventional processes. The method may be used to produce a variety of in-mold decorated articles.

Fiber-Filled Molded Articles

US Patent:
7364788, Apr 29, 2008
Filed:
Dec 23, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/744757
Inventors:
Levi A. Kishbaugh - Groveland MA, US
Kevin J. Levesque - Andover MA, US
Albert H. Guillemette - Dracut MA, US
Liqin Chen - West Roxbury MA, US
Jingyi Xu - York PA, US
Kelvin T. Okamoto - Carlsbad CA, US
Assignee:
Trexel, Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
B32B 3/26
B29D 7/00
C08F 20/00
C08J 9/00
US Classification:
4283044, 264 459, 264257, 525445, 521 97, 521160
Abstract:
Polymer molding processes, such as injection-molding processes, include use of a viscosity-reducing supercritical fluid additive resulting in less breakage of reinforcing fibers upon introduction into the mold.

Method Of Processing Polymers Using A Single Screw

View page
US Patent:
7615170, Nov 10, 2009
Filed:
Dec 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/027191
Inventors:
Jingyi Xu - York PA, US
Juan C. Cardona - Lowell MA, US
Levi A. Kishbaugh - Groveland MA, US
Assignee:
Trexel, Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
B29C 44/38
US Classification:
264 50, 264 53
Abstract:
Injection molding and blow molding systems that include screws having low L:D ratios are provided. The systems are capable of producing microcellular polymeric materials. In some cases, the systems may be formed by retrofitting conventional polymer processing systems. Retrofitting may involve changing (e. g. , machining or replacing) existing components of the conventional system, as well as, adding new components to the system. For example, retrofitting generally involves replacing the conventional polymer processing screw with a new screw designed to satisfy conditions needed for processing microcellular materials. In other cases, the systems may be newly manufactured. The retrofitted or newly manufactured systems of the invention are considerably less expensive than newly manufactured microcellular processing systems having higher L:D ratios.

Injection-Molded Crystalline/Semicrystalline Material

View page
US Patent:
20020147244, Oct 10, 2002
Filed:
Mar 7, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/801199
Inventors:
Levi Kishbaugh - Groveland MA, US
Roland Kim - Somerville MA, US
Kevin Levesque - Andover MA, US
International Classification:
B29D007/00
C08J009/00
C08G063/00
D01F001/02
US Classification:
521/050000, 521/079000, 521/182000, 264/045900, 264/046100, 264/211000
Abstract:
Molding, including injection molding, of crystalline or semicrystalline polymeric material is described. Microcellular polymeric material is preferred. The invention involves use of a viscosity-reducing additive in molding that results in relatively better crystallinity at relatively lower mold temperatures, and lower aging time.

Encapsulation Using Microcellular Foamed Materials

View page
US Patent:
20030077346, Apr 24, 2003
Filed:
May 21, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/152167
Inventors:
Thomas Boyer - Randleman NC, US
Levi Kishbaugh - Groveland MA, US
Roland Kim - Somerville MA, US
International Classification:
B29C045/14
B29C045/47
US Classification:
425/129100, 425/582000
Abstract:
An injection molding system is provided. The system includes a source of polymeric material, and an extruder including a screw rotatable within a barrel to convey polymeric material from the source in a downstream direction towards an outlet of the extruder. The system further includes an injection mold defining a cavity connectable to the outlet of the extruder, and an article positioned in the cavity. The article is to be molded along with the polymeric material in the injection mold.

Juan Cardona - Lowell MA, US
Himanshu Sheth - N. Andover MA, US
Kevin Levesque - Andover MA, US

Assignee:
Trexel, Incorporated - Woburn MA
International Classification:
B29C045/00
US Classification:
264/328100, 425/145000, 425/585000
Abstract:
Systems and methods for injection molding polymeric materials are provided. The systems and methods use a supercritical fluid additive. In some cases, the use of supercritical fluid additive enables formation of molded articles with low clamping forces and/or low injection pressures. Low clamping forces and/or low injection pressures may reduce the cost of a system designed to form a particular molded article. In some embodiments, the systems may include a control system that controls the operation of one or more components of the system (e.g., the extruder or the supercritical fluid additive introduction system). The systems and methods are suitable for forming polymeric foam articles including microcellular material articles.
