A method of treating a rubber expandable tire cure bladder by forming a base release coat thereon followed by application of a lubricant topcoat. The base release coat is derived by applying a composite of an hydroxyl terminated polyorganosiloxane and an aminoorganosilane to an expanded bladder and thereafter applying a lubricant topcoat derived from selected polyorganosiloxane components. The inv...

Drip irrigation device is made by continuously extruding a tube (4) and simultaneously feeding a plurality of dripper units (8) in succession within the tube (4) as it is extruded. Each dripper unit (8) is arrested as it arrives at a first location which is a short distance downstream of the extrusion head (2) where the extruded tube (4) is still tacky, and is then moved transversely to bring into...
