Method and related equipment for the production of filtering panels (8) made up of a filtering fabric (5) locked and tensioned inside a frame (7) consisting of two mutually coupled half frames (7a, 7b), wherein the moulding of said frame (7) of said panel (8), the unwinding of said fabric (5) from a feeding roller (4) and the tensioning of the same fabric (5) in the frame (7) are carried out, the latter being performed automatically during said moulding step. Compared to the solutions employed in the prior art, the equipment and the method of the invention offer the advantage of automating every operation for assembling the filtering panel, locking the fabric in a centered position on the frame in the making, tensioning it and cutting it out around the frame already moulded on the panel.

Disclosed herein is a roof cover board and a method of manufacturing an improved cover board product. The method includes receiving waste materials or first use materials, the waste materials or first use materials containing a mixture of cellulose, plastic and other materials; separating the cellulose and the plastic from the mixture; shredding the separated cellulose using a first shredder into a stream of cellulose and shredding the separated plastic using a second shredder into a stream of plastic; selecting a cellulose to plastic ratio from a plurality of cellulose to plastic ratios; metering shredded cellulose from the stream of cellulose and shredded plastic from the stream of plastic according to the selected cellulose to plastic ratio; mixing the metered shredded cellulose and plastic; forming said mixture into a mat; and consolidating the mat into a finished good using heat and pressure.

The multilayer foam sheet includes a polyethylene resin foam layer and a resin layer laminated on at least one of the two surfaces of the foam layer. The resin layer has a multilayer structure formed from a surface layer and an intermediate layer. Both the surface layer and the intermediate layer contain a polyethylene resin and a polymeric antistatic agent. The polymeric antistatic agent is contained in the intermediate layer at a proportion of 30-70 wt % (inclusive). The polymeric antistatic agent is contained in the surface layer at a proportion of at least 5 wt % to less than 30 wt %.

A film for coating a metal sheet, the film satisfying that: a ratio (E.sub.MD/E.sub.TD) of a Young's modulus E.sub.MD in a lengthwise direction to a Young's modulus E.sub.TD in a width direction is 1.1 to 4.0; and a thermal shrinkage rate, measured by a thermo-mechanical analyzer, in both lengthwise and width directions at 200 C. is equal to or smaller than 20%.

A method of forming a decorative panel includes pressing a decorative layer in relation to a substrate. The decorative layer includes one or more decorative elements, such as one or more of coloration, text, graphics, or the like.

The present invention relates to a stable mat (10) based on thermoplastic materials, comprising a core of compacted plastics (14), the cohesion of which is provided by spot thermal fusion (18) in the core of the mass, and a skin obtained by surface thermal fusion and/or a thermoplastic shell (12) firmly attached to the core by localized thermal fusion. Such a mat may serve as bases for civil engineering constructions, for the distribution of loads in the case of loose, unstable, or marshy soils, the stabilization of embankments or of unstable soils, earthquake-resistant protection of foundations of structures and composition of absorbent ballasts of railroads. They may also be used for the manufacture of prefabricated road elements.

Provided are: a nucleating agent for a polyolefin resin having an excellent crystal-forming effect; a nucleating agent composition for a polyolefin resin containing the nucleating agent; a polyolefin resin masterbatch; a polyolefin resin composition; a molded article of the composition; a film of the composition; a method of producing a porous film; and a package.

The nucleating agent contains a compound represented by Formula (1) below wherein M represents a monovalent to trivalent metal atom having a specific gravity of 4.0 or less, or the like; a represents 1 or 2; b represents 1 or 3; x represents an integer of 1 to 3; ax=2b is satisfied; and Z represents a group represented by Formula (2) or (3) below wherein * represents a position at which each group is linked with Z of Formula (1); Y represents a direct bond or an alkylene group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and R.sub.1 to R.sub.10 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, a halogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or the like.

Described herein is an acoustical building panel that comprises a body formed from a first component comprising a fibrous material, and a binder; and a second component comprising pellets of a recycled material, wherein the second component is present in an amount ranging from about 25 wt. % to about 45 wt. % based on the total weight of the body.

A decorative article comprising a base and a top layer disposed thereon. The base may comprise a first surface, a second surface opposite the first, a side surface disposed between the first and second surfaces, and angled surfaces along at least two of the edges of the first surface. The angled surfaces extend from the first surface and towards the second surface. Each angled surface may comprise at least one of a curved portion and a linear portion extending from the curved portion. The base can include a male connector portion extending from one side surface and a female connector portion formed in the opposing side surface, wherein the male and female connector portions are configured to interconnect. The top layer may comprise a dcor layer that further comprises a sub layer, an ink layer, and a wear layer disposed above the ink layer.

The present disclosure relates to a multilayered film including a skin layer, a core layer and a sealing layer; wherein the sealing layer includes: (a) 15 to 85 wt.-% based on a total weight of the sealing layer of a specific metallocene-catalysed multimodal polyethylene copolymer; and (b) 15 to 85 wt.-% based on the total weight of the sealing layer of a specific plastomer, wherein components (a) and (b) add up to 100 wt.-%. The multilayered film can be used as a packing material, for food and/or medical products.
