A composition, utility material, and method of making a utility material is disclosed. A composition having an improved setting time may include a plurality of microparticles mixed with a sodium silicate binder and an isocyanate setting agent, where the microparticle composition has a setting time of less than or equal to one hour. A utility material may be a wallboard that includes the composition.

A needle shield remover for a medicament delivery device is presented that has a metal tubular body, a proximal part, a distal part, and a substantially circular cross-section, where the tubular body is arranged with a slot extending from a distal end of the body, at least half the length of the body, towards a proximal end, such that at least the distal part of the body may flex radially outwards to exert a radially inwardly directed clamping force on a needle shield accommodated by the body.

An insulation board assembly, having: a foam insulation board; a top facer attached onto a top side of the foam insulation board, the top facer being made of woven material; and a bottom facer attached onto a bottom side of the foam insulation board, the bottom facer being made of woven material. The top and bottom woven facers may have upper and lower coatings and non-woven layers on either side and woven and non-woven layers may be held together with a tie layer.

A composite material steel sheet comprises: at least one steel sheet, and a resin-impregnated paper composite layer, wherein the resin-impregnated paper composite layer may comprise stacked sheets of paper, and impregnated resin provide adhesion between the sheets of paper in contact with each other.

A building wall includes an exterior surface and an interior surface. The exterior surface faces the exterior of the building and the interior surface faces an interior room of the building. The wall has a total wall thermal resistance between the exterior surface and the interior surface. The wall includes a structural member positioned between the exterior surface and the interior surface, and the structural member is configured to bear at least a portion of a vertical load of the wall. An insulated composite wall panel is positioned between the structural member and the interior surface. The insulated composite wall panel includes a skin layer including glass fibers and a cellulose fiber insulation board attached with a resin to a first surface of the skin layer. The thermal resistance of the cellulose fiber insulation board comprises the greatest component of the total wall thermal resistance.
