METHOD OF TREATING RAZOR BLADE CUTTING EDGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051169 titled 'METHOD OF TREATING RAZOR BLADE CUTTING EDGES
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method of manufacturing a razor blade cutting edge by applying a single coating of a polymer material to the blade edge, heating it at a specific temperature to adhere the polymer material, and optionally treating the coated edge to partially remove the coating.
- The method involves applying a polymer coating to a razor blade cutting edge.
- The coated blade edge is heated at a specific temperature to adhere the polymer material.
- The heating process may consist of one or more stages, each set at the same temperature.
- The coated blade edge can be treated with a solvent or a mechanical process to partially remove the coating.
- The method results in a razor blade cutting edge with a polymer coating adhered to it.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Manufacturing of razor blades with improved cutting performance and durability.
- Enhancing the corrosion resistance of razor blade cutting edges.
- Providing a smoother and more comfortable shaving experience.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improves the adhesion of the polymer material to the razor blade cutting edge.
- Reduces the risk of the coating peeling or wearing off during use.
- Increases the lifespan and performance of the razor blade.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved cutting performance and durability of razor blades.
- Enhanced corrosion resistance, leading to longer blade lifespan.
- Smoother and more comfortable shaving experience for users.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method of manufacturing a razor blade cutting edge, the method including: applying a single coating of a polymer material to the razor blade cutting edge to form a coated blade edge; performing a single heating of the coated blade edge at a single temperature of between 620� f. and 795� f. for a predefined time to adhere the polymer material to the razor blade cutting edge wherein the single heating of the coated blade edge comprises one or more heating stages and wherein each of the one or more heating stages is set at the single temperature; and optionally treating the coated blade edge with a solvent or a mechanical process to partially remove the coating. also provided is a razor blade cutting edge produced according to the disclosed method.
