A non-conductive rubber hose is provided exhibiting lower conductivity compared to conventional EPDM hose, and reduced stiffness compared to conventional non-conductive thermoplastic hose. The hose is useful for applications such as in hydraulics for boom trucks, and for coolant in plasma cutting tools.

The invention to provide a system of equipment for making synthetic building materials using plastic wastes combined with industrial and agricultural scrap includes: sorting and cleaning equipment, grinding equipment, powder grinding equipment, mixing equipment, pelletizing equipment, drying equipment, hot stir equipment, shaping equipment are connected together by mechanical connectors. The database connected to the controller controls the sorting and cleaning equipment, the grinding equipment, the powder grinding equipment, the mixing equipment, the pelletizing equipment, the drying equipment, the hot stir equipment, and the shaping equipment through transmission channels. In addition, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing for making synthetic building materials using plastic wastes combined with industrial and agricultural scrap.

A method for making a smokeless tobacco article can include combining thermoplastic polymer particles with tobacco particles to form a mixture of particles, compressing the mixture of particles within a pressing apparatus to form the mixture into a predetermined shape, separating the mixture from the pressing apparatus such that it retains the predetermined shape, and heating the mixture outside of the pressing apparatus to at least partially melt at least some of the thermoplastic polymer particles and form a matrix of polymer and tobacco particles.

In one or more arrangements, a method is provided for manufacturing a game call that incorporates ashes of cremated remains of a pet or loved one. The provided method incorporates the ashes into a polymer mixture used to form one or more components of the game call. In this manner, the resulting game call may serve as a memorial keepsake of the pet or loved one. The ashes are mixed with a polymer and poured into a mold. The mold is shaped for formation of at least one component of the game call. Once hardened, the polymer and remains mixture is removed from the mold and set to cure. After curing, a call profile is cut into the component. The component may be processed, for example, by sanding, wet sanding, finishing, painting, and/or polishing. The component is assembled with other components of the game call to form the game call.

A process for producing a biomaterial product based on sunflower seed hulls/sunflower seed husks comprising providing or producing a sunflower plastic compound (SPC) compounded material (SPC PBS, SPC PBSA), wherein the material is obtained by compounding a sunflower seed hull material/sunflower seed husk material with a biodegradable plastic, for example polybutylene succinate (PBS), polybutylene succinate-adipate (PBSA), or the like. The SPC compounded material is preferably used for producing an injection molded product, for example biodegradable containers, packagings, films or the like, in particular coffee capsules, tea capsules, urns, cups, plant pots, flowerpots, or the like.

A molding process includes the operation of placing insulation material comprising fibers and binder on the fibers in a mold cavity. The molding process further includes the operation of transferring heat to the insulation material to cause the binder to cure.

3D printable ink compositions for forming objects, films and coatings are provided. Also provided are methods of printing the ink compositions and methods for making the ink compositions. The ink compositions include an elastic polymer binder and may have high loadings of solid particles.

A molding process includes the operation of placing insulation material comprising fibers and binder on the fibers in a mold cavity. The molding process further includes the operation of transferring heat to the insulation material to cause the binder to cure.

A method of manufacturing a biodegradable dry cleaning bag is disclosed, the method including loading an environmentally friendly slurry into a hopper, extruding the environmentally friendly slurry, passing the environmentally friendly slurry through a die, inflating the environmentally friendly slurry into a cylindrical shape, thereby creating a cylindrical member, passing the cylindrical member over a first roller, and rolling the cylindrical member onto a roll.
