A resin-coated metal sheet for can lids includes a metal sheet coated with thermoplastic resin films on both surfaces and formed into a can lid. A thermoplastic resin film A based on polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is heat-fused on a surface of the metal sheet serving as an exterior surface of the can lid, and a thermoplastic resin film B based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is heat-fused on a surface of the metal sheet serving as an interior surface of the can lid. A composition ratio (wt %) of PBT/PET in the thermoplastic resin film A on the exterior surface is (PBT/PET)=(40/60) to (80/20), and the thermoplastic resin film B on the interior surface includes 95 mol % or more of PET.

The present disclosure relates to a glass cover, particularly a glass cover used in a vehicle roof, which includes a glass pane, anti-shatter layer means arranged on an underside of the glass pane, and an encapsulation formed on an edge region of the glass pane wherein the anti-shatter layer means covers the whole underside of the glass pane and extends into the encapsulation.

This invention relates to a washable multi-component magnetic floor mat with a hidden base component. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction is provided by incorporation of magnetic particles in both the textile and base components. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation. Alignment and deployment of the textile component with the base component in an efficient manner is also described herein.

A magnesium-oxide wall tile for use in a modular wall system includes a plurality of layers. The plurality of layers includes an inner core comprising magnesium-oxide and having a length and a height and a front face and a back face. plurality of layers also includes a thermofoil layer disposed over at least one face of the inner core.

The inventive method for applying a protective graphene coating onto a surface, especially onto a two- or three dimensional artwork or colored surface, comprises the following steps: a) depositing, preferably by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), graphene onto a at least one side of a supporting substrate to produce a graphene/substrate composite including a continuous graphene membrane formed on at least one side of said substrate; b) removing the substrate, or lifting off the graphene from the substrate and c) depositing the graphene membrane onto the surface. A protective graphene coating prepared and deposited by this method provides protection for a surface, especially a two- or three-dimensional artwork or a colored surface, against color degradation, especially fading, yellowing and discoloration due to exposure to UV radiation, dirt, dust, moisture, chemical and/or oxidizing agents.

Disclosed herein is a multilayer laminate comprising a film comprising an ethylene-based elastomer; a first non-woven layer in contact with a first surface of the film; and a second non-woven layer in contact with a second surface of the film; wherein the second surface of the film is opposedly disposed to the first surface of the film; wherein at least one of the first non-woven layer or the second non-woven layer comprises a non-woven web; and wherein the non-woven web is formed from a bicomponent fiber having a first component comprising an polyethylene-based polymer and a second component comprising a polymer having a melting point that is higher than the polyethylene-based polymer, wherein at least a portion of a surface of the bicomponent fiber comprises the first component.

The invention relates to an at least three-layer biaxially oriented polyester film including at least one base layer B, one rough outer layer A and one smooth outer layer C, where the layers A and C are external layers arranged on opposing surfaces of the base layer B. The outer layer A includes calcium carbonate particles. The outer layer C includes less than 0.1% by weight of particles (where the percentage by weight data are based on the weight of the layer). The polyester used to produce all of the layers includes no 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic-acid-derived units as repeating units. The entire film includes less than 0.3% by weight (based on the weight of the entire film) of particles. The invention further relates to processes for producing the film, and also to use of the latter as process film for the provision of surface properties, in particular for furniture surfaces.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a fuel cell stack that can manufacture the fuel cell stack efficiently, can improve the precision for joining and can improve the power generation efficiency. The method for manufacturing a fuel cell stack repeatedly stacks a separator, an electrode assembly and a separator in this order in accordance with the laminated structure of the fuel cell stack to be manufactured to manufacture the fuel cell stack. When the electrode assembly is stacked on the separator, the method pressurizes the electrode assembly stacked on the separator and applies laser light to the electrode assembly to join the resin frame of the electrode assembly to the separator. When the separator is stacked on the electrode assembly, the method pressurizes the separator stacked on the electrode assembly and applies laser light to the separator to join the separator to the resin frame of the electrode assembly.

There is disclosed a sealable, flexible membrane for encapsulating a part to be isostatically pressed at an elevated temperature. The membrane includes at least one first layer of polymeric film having a melting point above the elevated temperature, and at least one second layer disposed on the first layer. The second layer comprising a metal. In one embodiment, the metal comes into contact with the part to be isostatically pressed. The membrane, which typically has a thickness ranging from 10 to about 500 m, and is impermeable to the flow of liquids and gases when sealed, can be used to warm press parts up to about 350 C. and pressures ranging from 5,000 psi to 100.000 psi. Methods to isostatically press parts using this sealable, flexible membrane are also disclosed. Bags made from the sealable, flexible membrane that are used in isostatic presses are also disclosed.
