Multi-layered gliding board comprising a polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer foam layer and an ethylene based octene plastomer film layer

摘要

The invention relates to multi-layered laminated foam gliders with improved bonding characteristics and surface smoothness which can be used as a bodyboard, a snow sled or other gliding boards. In general, the foam gliders are multi-layered structure of polymer foam and polymer film, comprising a polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer foam sheet, an intermediate polymer film layer of ethylene based octene plastomer and a polyolefin film layer. The polyolefin film layer may include a graphic image. The structure provide improved graphic image definition with a smooth texture on the graphic imprinted polyolefin film surface and the intermediate polymer film layer improve bond strength between polyolefin film layer and polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer foam sheet. A method of continuous fabrication is also disclosed.
