35 Years of Firsts

摘要

In the mid-1970s Crown Plastics, Inc. perfected the art of compression molding thin-gauge UHMW-PE into continuous coils. The tough, lightweight plastic was flexible, smooth and easily machined. A few years later Crown's R&D people discovered how to make UHMW coils bondable. Adhesive-backed UHMW-PE tape was an industry first.
