A supported elastomeric foam (100) includes an elastomeric matrix (102) formed of an elastomer and including a reinforcement region (104) and a foamed region (106). The foamed region includes gas filled cells (108) in the elastomer, and the reinforcement region includes a porous layer (204) having an interconnected network of pores at least partially imbibed with the elastomer. The foam can include an adhesive at a surface of the foam. A compressible seal (802) including a compressible body, which can be elastomeric foam, can also include a pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions about which the compressible body can deform to form a sea. The supported elastomeric foam can form a gas tight seal in an interface when placed under minimal compression.

A thin, cured gel gasket is disclosed, including methods of making the thin gel gasket and the use of the thin gel gasket in an aircraft joint. In one embodiment, the thin gel gasket has no skeleton or other structure and is comprised of only a cured polyurethane gel and has a thickness of less than about 12 mill. It is manufactured using a release film that is adapted in a number of ways to make release from the gel prior to use easier. In one method of making and using the thin gel gasket. it is applied to a joint which is subject to compression, in one embodiment, a lap joint of an aircraft fuselage.

A multilayered nonwoven insulating barrier with an integral pocket for installation of a component to be insulated. The insulating barrier has nonwoven layers that overlap one another and are stitched to one another by first pair of seams to form an integral pocket therebetween. An elastic member is secured to one end of the insulating barrier to facilitate wrapping the end around and forming a seal. A second elastic member is secured to an opposite end of the insulating barrier to facilitate wrapping the second end around and forming a seal. A releasable member is secured along a first lateral side of the insulating barrier and a mating releasable member is secured along an opposite second lateral side of the insulating barrier and the releasable members facilitate releasable wrapping of the insulating barrier about and forming a seal with the component.

A laminate is provided which includes a substrate and a structural body including a base portion and a through hole and which can concurrently satisfy stickiness and releasability and can be released with no or little adhesive residue. The laminate includes a substrate and a structural body disposed on the surface of at least one side of the substrate, the structural body including a base portion and a through hole. The base portion of the structural body includes an acrylic triblock copolymer (I) and no tackifier resins or includes an acrylic triblock copolymer (I) and a tackifier resin in a tackifier resin/(I) mass ratio of not more than 20/100. The acrylic triblock copolymer (I) includes two polymer blocks (A1) and (A2) each including methacrylic acid ester units and one polymer block (B) including acrylic acid ester units represented by the general formula CH.sub.2═CH—COOR.sup.1 (1) (wherein R.sup.1 denotes a C4-C12 organic group). The acrylic triblock copolymer (I) has an (A1)-(B)-(A2) block structure and a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 250,000. The total content of the polymer blocks (A1) and (A2) is not more than 35 mass % of the acrylic triblock copolymer (I).

The invention relates to a cover laminate such as a roof laminate or cover layer system (10) comprising at least a first layer (14), which extends on the cover side, in the form of a migration-inhibiting barrier layer or barrier film with respect to bitumen, plasticizer and/or EPS, and a second layer (12), which extends on the side away from the cover, in the form of a first nonwoven,

wherein the first layer is connected to the second layer either by means of a reactive plasticizer-resistant adhesive (16), or, in the case of formation of the first layer as a thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive film, by means of said film.

Extruded seals including a sealing portion with a honeycomb profile and method for making extruded seals with honeycomb profiles. An extrusion tool is provided with a first and second plate connected together. The first plate has a plurality of pins, which are vented to form a honeycomb profile. The second plate has a profiled opening receiving the plurality of pins and forming the overall shape of the part, including the outermost surfaces of the part. The pins serve as mandrels for extruded molten material to flow around. Varying the pin configuration and dimensions changes the honeycomb profile. The honeycomb structure is provided in the sealing portion of the extrusion. The honeycomb profile is formed by itself, co-extruded with a rigid or semi-rigid structural member, or applied to the rigid or semi-rigid structural member after the structural member is formed.

The compressible sealing element (1) comprises at least one piece made of a resilient foam (17). This foam has an open-cell content of at least 50% and has such a hardness that it requires a force of less than 2000 N to compress the sealing element (1) per meter length thereof to such an extent that the volume of a rectangular cuboid circumscribing the sealing element is reduced by 40%. The sealing element comprises a water-impermeable cover layer (18) which extends at least over its top surface. The sealing element is intended for filling at least partially the gaps between the stock rails (13) and the switch rails (12) in a railway switch to prevent the switch from being blocked in particular by snow. Advantages of the new sealing element is that it can easier be inserted in these gaps and that it has a smaller effect on the force required to close the switch so that it can also be applied closer to the free extremity of the switch rail (12).
