Abstract

See full text

A plastic sheet (13) having a surface with low friction and high gloss is produced by extruding a layer of thermoplastic and pressing it while hot against the surface of a chill roller (17). The surface of the chill roller (17) is characterized by being highly polished and having minute randomly distributed depressions therein of an average depth of about 5 microns, a depth standard deviation of less than 3 microns, and an average frequency of about 3,000 per square centimeter. The thermoplastic layer may be laminated to a single or multilayer base (12) to form a finished product (21). A polyethylene surface layer will have a coefficient of friction generally less than 1.0 with respect to itself, while the surface nonetheless retains a high gloss appearance.
