A composite material may be used as a building material to provide desirable visible aesthetics, such as in a roof or facade. The composite material may include two or more materials, wherein a first material provides desirable qualities for appearance and a second material provides desirable qualities for strength or other characteristics desirable of a building material. Each of the first material and the second material may be transparent, such that the composite material is also transparent. The first material may be Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) and the second material may be Polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

A method of manufacturing a sandwich panel (100) includes: a step of preparing a plurality of sheet-like prepregs (211); a step of performing a first heating and pressurization process through a release film (25) on upper and lower surfaces of a laminate where the plurality of prepregs (211) are laminated such that the laminate is integrated to obtain a composite facing material (40); and a step of disposing the composite facing material (40) on each of an upper surface side and a lower surface side of a sheet-like core layer (10) having a honeycomb structure and integrating the laminate through a second heating and pressurization process, in which a pressure of the first heating and pressurization process is higher than or equal to a pressure of the second heating and pressurization process.

The present invention has an object of providing an ethylene/α-olefin/non-conjugated polyene copolymer composition excellent in the adhesive strength with a layer of a saponified ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer; and the present invention relates to a laminate comprising a layer of a copolymer composition comprising 100 parts by mass of an ethylene/α-olefin/non-conjugated polyene copolymer (A) and one or more additives selected from the following (1) to (3), and a layer of the saponified ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer (B). (1) 1.7 to 20 parts by mass of dicumyl peroxide and 2 to 20 parts by mass of a metal oxide; (2) 20 to 120 parts by mass of a hydrophilic fumed silica; and (3) 5 to 50 parts by mass of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer (B).

Described herein is a laminate including at least one first layer of at least one first metal and at least one further layer of a polymer composition (PC). Also described herein is a process for producing the laminate.

A pipe joint (1) comprising: a tubular main body (10) having a flow path inside, which is formed of a resin comprising a copolymer having one or more selected from a vinyl cyanide monomer unit and an acrylic monomer unit, a rubber component, and an aromatic vinyl monomer unit; and a socket section (20a) integrally formed with the main body (10), wherein: the main body (10) has a foamed resin layer (30) and a non-foamed resin layer (50) covering the foamed resin layer (30); the amount of the rubber component in the foamed resin layer (30) as determined by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is within a specific range; the amount of the rubber component in the non-foamed resin layer (50) is within a specific range; and a ratio (L.sub.a/L.sub.a) of length (L.sub.a) from a base end (21a) to an opening end (22a) of the socket section (20a) to a thickness (d.sub.a) of the socket section (20a) at the opening end is 2.0 or more and 10.0 or less.

The present invention provides a color migration blocking composition, comprising: 15 parts to 45 parts by weight of a phenoxy resin; 5 parts to 40 parts by weight of an elastomer-modified epoxy resin; 1.5 parts to 7.0 parts by weight of a curing agent; and 30 parts to 65 parts by weight of a solvent, based on the total weight of the color migration blocking composition. The color migration blocking film formed by the color migration blocking composition has a good effect on blocking color migration and a good adhesion strength; therefore, when a color migration blocking laminate comprising the color migration blocking film is applied to a fabric, not only the unnecessary discoloration can be avoided and the softness of the fabric can be maintained, but also the processing cost is reduced, thereby promoting the value of the product.

A low-emittance material having improved energy efficiency protection against air infiltration and moisture build-up in buildings is disclosed. The aforementioned low-emittance material utilizes existing framing openings or without increasing the wall profile of a building. The present invention provides a low-emittance material which may be implemented on traditional 24 framing having R-15 mass insulation material within existing or newly constructed framing cavities. The material of the present invention also meets requirements for serving as a water resistive barrier as defined by ICC AC38.
