The subject matter of the invention is an adhesive tape, in particular a wrapping tape for sheathing cables in automobiles. The adhesive tape is equipped with a textile support and at least one adhesive layer applied to one or both sides of the support. The support is coloured by an organic dye which is composed of yellow and red pigments. The yellow pigments are based on anthraquinone. According to the invention, pigments based on perylene are used as red pigments.

A latex composition having a nitrile rubber containing an ,-ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer unit and a conjugated diene monomer unit, wherein the nitrile rubber has a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 100,000, and the weight of methanol extractables in all solids present in the latex composition is 2 to 20 wt % based on the weight of all the solids.

Floor coverings, such as modular panels or tiles, for installation on interior surfaces include an upper wear layer and a backing layer, where the backing layer includes a filler that includes concentrated carbon. The floor coverings can sequester carbon such that the resulting product has a negative carbon footprint when subjected to a Life Cycle Assessment.

Floor coverings, such as modular panels or tiles, for installation on interior surfaces include one or more layers, for example, an upper wear layer and a backing layer, where at least one layer includes a filler that includes a carbon negative material, such as concentrated carbon. The carbon negative material can sequester carbon such that the resulting floor covering has a negative carbon footprint when subjected to a Life Cycle Assessment.

Disclosed is a leather-dike sheet including a fiber base material and a colored resin layer laminated on the fiber base material, wherein the colored resin layer includes an intermediate layer and a skin layer laminated on the intermediate layer, wherein the skin layer is a layer containing polyurethane and a black pigment of 3 g/m.sup.2 or more, and the intermediate layer is a layer containing polyurethane and a black pigment, and in the L*a*b* color system, a leather-like sheet having a lightness value of L*30 is used.

Provided is a carpet having transmissiveness and capable of retaining quality including the light transmissiveness, where in one embodiment, the carpet comprises a pile layer in which a plurality of pile yarns are tufted on the front face of a primary base fabric; and a backing layer disposed on the back face side of the primary base fabric, wherein the total light transmittance of the carpet is 0.5% or higher; the lightness when the carpet is viewed from the front face side of the primary base fabric is 30 or higher; and the thickness loss rate under dynamic loading accompanied by friction of the carpet is 25% or lower.

The article (100) comprises a textile body (101), a conductive region (103) and an embossing material (105). The embossing material 105 causes the conductive region (103) to adopt and retain a raised, embossed, profile (107) that projects outwardly from a surface (102) of the textile body (101). The method comprises applying heat and/or pressure to the article (100) to cause the article (100) to adopt the embossed profile (107). The raised, embossed, profile (107) is retained upon release of the applied heat and/or pressure as the embossing material (105) has bonded to the textile body (101) due to the application of heat and/or pressure.

The present invention relates to a reinforced composite material, comprising an organic polymer, a silicon polymer, and an interphase between said organic polymer and said silicon polymer, wherein said interphase comprises chemical bonds between the organic polymer and the silicon polymer, and to a method to obtain said reinforced composite material. The present disclosure can be used to improve the mechanical properties of silica aerogels by functionalization of textile materials.

A polyurethane-coated fabric product, particularly a polyurethane-coated glove, has a fabric liner and, on the surface of the liner, a microporous foam layer comprising polyurethane and a bifunctional sulphur-containing alkoxysilane. The microporous foam layer exhibits increased abrasion resistance, durability and increased resistance to water penetration. Preferably, the bifunctional sulphur-containing alkoxysilane is bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulphane. The polyurethane-coated fabric product is manufactured by a method that includes providing a fabric liner, applying a io coating to at least part of the surface of the liner, wherein the coating comprises a solution, in a polar aprotic solvent, of a polyurethane resin and a bifunctional sulphur-containing alkoxysilane, treating the coated fabric with water, thereby causing the polyurethane to coagulate and form a microporous foam layer on the fabric liner, and drying the polyurethane-coated fabric is product.
