An exterior building component with a distinct surface topography and a method for manufacturing the same. A substrate, a barrier film, and an adhesive are provided together with a finishing sacrificial coating. The adhesive has pressure sensitive characteristics in a temperature range including a temperature below barrier film embossment temperature. The temperature of a surface of the substrate and the barrier film is adjusted to the barrier film embossment temperature. The adhesive is disposed onto at least one of the surface of the substrate and the barrier film. The barrier film is then disposed onto the surface of the substrate and embossed such that the surface topography of the substrate is replicated in a substantially identical fashion using a roller at low pressure and short pressure application time. The barrier film is then, if needed, finished with a weather-resistant coating compatible with commercially available architectural exterior paints and lacquers for refinishing as required.

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing a film. The method may include providing a base layer, wherein the base layer is resistant to one or more of water or oxygen; coextruding a tie layer and a contact layer to provide a coextrusion layer; coating the coextrusion layer to the base layer; allowing the coextrusion layer coated to the base layer to adhere to form the film, wherein the film comprises the tie layer and the contact layer formed as a coextrusion layer coated to the base layer; wherein the tie layer comprises one or more layers, and wherein the tie layer, or the one or more layers of the tie layer, has a loading in the range of 7 to 20 g/m.sup.2; wherein the contact layer comprises a cycloolefin copolymer (COC).

A composite gas barrier multilayer body, wherein a gas barrier multilayer body (A) having a film (a) of an alicyclic polyolefin resin and an inorganic layer (a) formed on at least one surface of the film (a) and a gas barrier multilayer body (B) having a film (b) of an alicyclic polyolefin resin and an inorganic layer (b) formed on at least one surface of the film (b) are bonded via a layer of a styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer resin so that the inorganic layer (a) and the inorganic layer (b) face to each other.

Provided is an interlayer film for laminated glass capable of effectively enhancing the sound insulating property at 6300 Hz while effectively preventing deterioration in sound insulating property at 3150 Hz in laminated glass. An interlayer film for laminated glass according to the present invention has a one-layer structure or a two or more-layer structure and includes a resin layer containing a resin and a plasticizer. The interlayer film has a resonance frequency X of 550 Hz or more and 740 Hz or less, a loss factor Y in a secondary mode of 0.35 or more, and satisfies a formula: Y>0.0008X0.142 in a measurement of resonance frequency in a secondary mode in a damping test for laminated glass according to a central exciting method of laminated glass, when the laminated glass is obtained by arranging the interlayer film between two glass plates of 25 mm wide, 300 mm long and 2 mm thick.

A flexible glass membrane, a method for manufacturing the flexible glass membrane, and an electronic device including the flexible glass membrane are disclosed. The flexible glass membrane includes a hot-melt adhesive layer, a substrate layer, a base coating layer, a drawing-transferring layer, an optical coating layer, an ink layer, and an anti-explosive layer. The hot-melt adhesive layer, the substrate layer, the base coating layer, the drawing-transferring layer, the optical coating layer, the ink layer, and the anti-explosive layer may be successively stacked on one another.

The present disclosure is directed to a process for preparing foamed articles comprising at least one ethylene/-olefin interpolymer and use of the foamed articles in various applications, such as footwear applications. The ethylene/-olefin interpolymers of the present disclosure are multi-block copolymers comprising at least one soft block and at least one hard block.

Disclosed is a rubber composition for direct vulcanization bonding, comprising (A) an ethylene--olefin-based copolymer rubber comprising an ethylene unit and an -olefin unit having 3 or more carbon atoms, (B) a silane coupling agent comprising a sulfur atom, and (C) a vulcanizing agent comprising sulfur. The content of the silane coupling agent is 2.7 to 12 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the ethylene--olefin-based copolymer rubber. This rubber composition is used for forming a molded rubber directly vulcanization bonded to a metal member.

Nonwoven fabrics having desirable wiping properties while also providing pleasant tactile properties are provided. The nonwoven fabrics may include a first nonwoven outer layer, a second nonwoven outer layer, and a core layer located between the first nonwoven layer and the second nonwoven outer layer. At least one of the first nonwoven outer layer and the second nonwoven outer layer may include a plurality of blended filaments comprising a blend of a polymer and an elastomeric polyolefin.

The present disclosure provides a depth filter medium comprising at least one elastomeric nonwoven web strengthened by combination with one or more structural support layers. The resulting material is particularly useful in the field of filtration, wherein particulates captured within the elastomeric nonwoven web can be readily released, such as by applying pressure to the web through backwashing. The elastomeric nonwoven web advantageously can stretch under such pressure and return substantially to its original structure and shape upon the removal of the pressure, rendering the filter available for reuse.

An insulation board assembly, having: a foam insulation board; a top facer attached onto a top side of the foam insulation board, the top facer being made of woven material; and a bottom facer attached onto a bottom side of the foam insulation board, the bottom facer being made of woven material. The top and bottom woven facers may have upper and lower coatings and non-woven layers on either side and woven and non-woven layers may be held together with a tie layer.
