A fabric comprising a cut-resistant polymeric coating including by weight 1 to 10 percent para-aramid particles, the particles having an average particle size of 20 to 500 microns.

A composite sheet and a method for producing a decorative sheet using the composite sheet are provided. The composite sheet has a base layer and a foamable layer bonded to the base layer. The foamable layer includes 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin material having an elastic modulus of <0.1 GPa, 0.1 - 10 parts by weight of a foaming agent, and 0 - 200 parts by weight of additives. The foamable layer has a thickness of 0.05 to 0.3 mm.

A method of manufacturing a functional fabric includes the steps of: (a) providing an undyed base fabric having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface; (b) forming a moisture-permeable waterproof layer on the top surface of the base fabric; and (c) forming at least one pattern layer on at least one of the moisture-permeable waterproof layer or the bottom surface of the base fabric.

A wrapping material having three distinct polymeric layers interfaced with a woven polymeric scrim is disclosed. A first polymeric layer is formed by extruding a first polymeric coating onto the scrim. A second polymeric layer and a third polymeric layer are simultaneously formed by co-extruding a second polymeric coating onto the scrim and a third polymeric coating onto the second polymeric coating.

The present invention relates to an aqueous paste composition for textile coating, comprising: 1-60 parts by weight of at least one material having tensile modulus of at least 2000 MPa, 1-24 parts by weight of at least one antistatic agent, 16-60 parts by weight of at least one binder, and 50-200 parts by weight of water. The invention also relates to a process for producing a coated fabric, to a coated fabric as obtainable trough said process, and to a garment comprising it.

A variety of plates for footwear are provided including a polyolefin resin. Sole structures and articles of footwear formed therefrom are also provided. Methods of making the polyolefin resin compositions, plates, sole structures, and articles of footwear are also provided. In some aspects, the polyolefin resin composition includes an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier. The effective amount can be an amount effective to allow the resin composition to pass a flex test, and in particular to pass a flex test without significant change in abrasion loss. In some aspects, the resin composition also includes a clarifying agent to improve optical clarity of the plate. In some aspects, the plates include a textile disposed on one or both of a first side and the second side of the plate. The textile can provide for improved bonding of the plate to other components such as a chassis or an upper.

The description relates to solvent free films and textiles that receive the solvent free films.

The present invention relates to fiber polymer composite comprising polypropylene fibers and a matrix material, the matrix material being in direct contact with at least some of the fibers, characterized in that the matrix material comprises 50% to 100% by weight based on the whole matrix material of an amorphous propylene-rich poly-alpha-olefin, to a process for producing the fiber polymer composite, and to the use of the fiber polymer composite.

A method for forming an antislip material. A flexible thermoplastic carrier is provided. A hot release surface is provided. Provided is a first layer of discrete thermoplastic particles, sifting on the hot release surface. The discrete particles are above their softening temperatures, providing in the first layer a tackiness. The method includes contacting the carrier with the tacky first layer for sticking the first layer to the carrier, and thereafter removing the carrier, and therewith the tacky first layer stuck to the carrier, from the release surface. Thereby the carrier is provided with a hot, preferably discontinuous and/or elastomeric antislip coating. With a heat energy of the hot coating a bond is formed between the carrier and the coating. The removing of the carrier includes pulling the carrier out of the contact with a pulling-out force. The temperature of the hot release surface is above the melting temperature of the carrier. The carrier would be spoiled, if heated completely to the temperature of the release surface and simultaneously pulled with the pulling-out force. Therefore the contacting time is kept shorter than a minimum time required by a heat of the hot release surface for spoiling the carrier. Flat-topped roughening projections can be included in the antislip coating.

The carpet tile system uses preferably Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH).sub.3) as a flame retardant in the secondary backing of the carpet tile or in the pre-coat adhesive on the primary backing, or alternatively uses Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH).sub.2). The flame retardant has been optimized to interact with the other components of the system to produce a carpet tile that achieves flammability ratings that are comparable or superior to carpet tiles with more expensive pile fibers.
