A thermal insulating material made from date palm surface fibers and a method of manufacturing the thermal insulating material using waste material from the date palm tree is provided. The thermal insulating material includes date palm surface fibers and polyvinyl alcohol. The method may include softening date palm surface fibers (DPSF), drying the DPSF, infusing the DPSF with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and casting the PVA infused DPSF to produce the thermal insulating material made from date palm surface fibers. The thermal insulating material has a low thermal conductivity, demonstrating its suitability to insulating structures.

The document relates to a tool for producing a 3D molded product from a pulp slurry, comprising a pair of molds having respective product faces, that are configured to face each other and to press a pulp layer therebetween, said product faces providing a 3D shape for molding the 3D molded product, said product faces presenting a respective outer product face edge, defining an outermost limit of a forming area of mold. At least one of the product faces, as seen from the product face edge and inwardly towards a center of gravity of the product face, presents an outer zone (Z1) having effectively no porosity, and an inner zone (Z4) having a porosity of 40-75%, wherein a first intermediate zone (Z2) is arranged between the outer zone (Z1) and the inner zone (Z4), and has a porosity that is greater than that of the outer zone (Z1) and less than that of the inner zone (Z4).

Methods and apparatus for vacuum forming and subsequently applying topical coatings fiber-based food containers. The slurry includes one or more of an embedded moisture barrier, vapor barrier, and oil barrier, and the topical coating comprises one or more of a vapor barrier, a moisture barrier, an oil barrier, and an oxygen barrier. For food containers having deep sidewalls, a spray coating system includes a first nozzle for applying a full cone spray pattern to the bottom surface of the container, and a second nozzle for applying a hollow cone spray pattern to the inside surfaces of the side walls.

The present invention provides a transformable molding assembly, which has a lower mold, an upper mold, and an activating device. The lower mold has a first plane formed with at least one cave. The upper mold has a second plane formed with at least one guide rail and at least one protrusion assembly corresponding to the at least one cave.
