This invention relates to a sheet or pre-coated blank comprising a steel substrate for heat treatment, overlaid on at least a part of at least one of its principal faces, by a pre-coating having, at least one layer of aluminum or aluminum alloy overlaid, on at least a part of the above-mentioned pre-coating, by a polymerized layer having a thickness between 2 and 30 m composed of a polymer that does not contain silicon, and the nitrogen content of which, is greater than 1% by weight expressed in relation to the above-mentioned layer, wherein the above-mentioned polymerized layer contains carbon pigments in a quantity between 3 and 30% by weight, expressed in relation to said layer.

Crosslinkable polymeric compositions comprising a thermoplastic, non-elastomer ethylene-based polymer, an organic peroxide, and a crosslinking coagent comprising N,N,N,N,N,N-hexaallyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine. Such crosslinkable polymeric compositions and their crosslinked forms can be employed as polymeric layers in wire and cable applications, such as insulation in power cables.

In at least one general aspect, a cable assembly adapted to be installed into a duct by a combination of blowing and mechanical feeding. The cable assembly can include at least one flexible signal transmitting member for transmitting optical signals, a first layer surrounding the at least one flexible signal transmitting member such that at least one signal transmitting member is in touching contact with the first layer, and a second layer arranged outwardly of the first layer. The second layer is a non-thermoplastic layer made of a composition comprising a base material of polyethylene adapted to be cross-linked, whereby the second layer comprises crosslinked polyethylene.

A detergent product includes a flexible bag and water-soluble detergent articles. The water-soluble detergent articles are contained inside the flexible bag. The flexible bag includes from about 85 wt % to about 94 wt % of a paper layer; from about 3.0 wt % to about 10.0 wt % of a polyethylene layer having a thickness of from about 6 m to about 20 m; and from about 3.0 wt % to about 10.0 wt % of a recloseable zipper. The polyethylene layer is coated onto the paper layer, the recloseable zipper is in contact with the polyethylene layer, and the average force required to open the recloseable zipper is less than about 4.0 newtons per centimeter.
