Described herein is a multilayered paint film, which comprises in order: (i) a hard coat layer comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane having a hard segment content of 80 percent by weight or greater, wherein the thermoplastic polyurethane is a reaction product of: (a) a diisocyanate; (b) a polyol optionally comprising a cyclic structure; and (c) a chain extender, wherein at least one of the polyol or the chain extender comprises at least one side chain and at least one of the diisocyanate or the chain extender comprises a cyclic structure; (ii) a colored polymeric resin layer comprising a colorant, wherein the colored polymeric resin layer is 50-250 micrometers thick; and (c) an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive or a hotmelt adhesive. In one embodiment, the multilayered paint films may be used to cover parts for automotive and aerospace applications.

Thermoformed polyester resin closures for closing containers, the polyester resins including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene furandicarboxylate (PEF), or a copolymer including PET and PEF, are provided herein. Methods of making the thermoformed closures are further provided. Methods of sterilizing the thermoformed closures are further provided.

A laminate molding system (11) in which an article to be laminated-molded (A) is carried into a laminating apparatus from one side thereof (12) by using a carrier film (F1, F2), and after the article (A) is laminated-molded in the laminating apparatus (12), the laminated-molded article (A) is carried out of out the laminating apparatus from another side thereof (12), in which drooping prevention mechanisms (18a, 18b) for preventing the carrier film (F1) and the laminated-molded article (A) from drooping at a molding position (12a) of the laminating apparatus (12) are respectively provided at an outer-side nearby position on a carry-in side with respect to the molding position (12a) of the laminating apparatus (12) and an outer-side nearby position on the carry-out side with respect to the molding position (12a) of the laminating apparatus (12). In this way, a laminating molding system and a laminating molding method capable of alleviating a problem in regard to the occurrence of defective molding caused by the drooping of a carrier film in a laminating apparatus are provided.

A method of manufacturing an ammunition magazine pouch is described herein. The pouch includes an interior surface defining a magazine chamber configured to receive an ammunition magazine therein. The method includes thermoforming a front cover member from a first sheet of thermoplastic material and thermoforming a back plate member from a second sheet of thermoplastic material. The method also includes stitching the back plate member to an attachment assembly and coupling the front cover member to the back plate member to define the magazine chamber therebetween extending between an open top end and a closed bottom end. The method also includes coupling a tensioning assembly to the front cover member and the back plate member to adjust a distance between an upper portion of the front cover member and an upper portion of the back plate member to adjust a width of the open top end of the magazine chamber.
