Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
The invention relates to a process for the mutual adhesion of layers of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene at a temperature above the melting point of the polyethylene, each polyethylene layer having been obtained by clearing a layer of polyethylene gel of solvent. Possible application of the process according to the invention can be found, for instance, in the production of polyethylene pipes with or without fibre reinforcement, of wear-resistant and chemicals-resistant coatings and, taking advantage of the bio-compatibility of polyethylene, of prostheses applicable in the human body.

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 27, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended December 27, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 27, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
