Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus and process for the production of multiple-layer film or sheeting having desirable surface characteristics, especially including uniformity of layer thickness and width. The apparatus includes a feedblock which selectively splits the coextruded streams, controls the flow thereof and applies the layers in a manner such that the thickness of the various layers can be more easily and accurately controlled across the width of the sheeting.
