A microcatheter comprising an inner layer, a strike layer and an outer layer and a braided skeleton located between the inner layer and the outer layer, wherein the inner layer is made of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and has a thickness of 0.0015 inch or less, wherein the strike layer includes a polyether block amide and has a thickness of 0.001 inch or less, and wherein a distal portion of said outer layer is made of polycarbonate-based thermoplastic polyurethane having a shore of 90A or below.

The invention provides a process of producing an interconnecting multi-layered LVT tile for a modular flooring system, the process comprising the steps of: a) forming abase substrate of plastics material with at least one locating guide by injection moulding; b) coating the back of an LVT surface layer with adhesive; c) aligning the LVT surface layer to a top surface of the base substrate such that the LVT surface layer abuts the or each locating guide of the base substrate; d) press rolling the base substrate and LVT surface layer together to form an oversized blank; and e) punching out an interlock shape from the oversized blank using a punch and die tool.

A method for manufacturing an insulation member for an appliance includes the steps of forming a porous bag with a woven fabric, filling the porous bag with insulation materials, heat sealing the porous bag, vibrating the porous bag to define a pillow, compressing the pillow within a mold to define a compressed insulation member, and evacuating the compressed insulation member within an insulated structure to define a vacuum insulated structure.

A water-resistant composition 20 includes a graphene material 22 forming a matrix with a resin 23. The matrix can include reinforcing fibres such as glass fibres. The composition can include the graphene material 22, a polyester resin 23 and glass fibre reinforcement. Multiple forms of the composite can be provided in layers, such as a barrier layer containing the graphene material 22 in a resin 23 and a second layer containing reinforcing material. A cosmetic coloured gel coat can be applied to the composition and a clear gel coat applied over the cosmetic coating. The graphene material can include graphene platelets 22 dispersed within the resin. The graphene material can provide up to 5% by weight (% wt) of the composite, preferably up to 2% wt of the composite, more preferably between 1% wt and 2.5% wt of the composite and yet more preferably 2% wt of the composite. The composition can be applied to a boat hull, a pipe, a swimming pool, a spa or a tank, or a surface subject to prolonged contact with or submersion in water.

Multilayer Films have a first skin layer that is prepared from a high density polyethylene and a second skin layer (also referred to as the sealant layer) that is prepared from a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) having a density of from 0.90 to 0.92 g/cc and a Dilution Index, Yd, of greater than 0°. Seals can be prepared by placing two pieces of this film against each other such that the sealant layers are in contact with each other, then applying heat to at least one high density skin layer such that heat is transmitted/conducted through the multilayer film in a sufficient amount to melt the sealant layer and form a seal. The use of LLDPE having a Dilution Index of greater than 0° has been found to improve the sealing performance of multilayer films in comparison to multilayer films where the sealant layer is a conventional LLDPE having a Dilution Index of less than 0°.

A decorative decal for altering the aesthetics of a barbeque grill, with the decal comprising a flexible and heat resistant substrate having a visually discernible aesthetic element on its first surface and an adhesive on its second surface, with the adhesive suitable for attaching the substrate to the outer surface of the barbeque grill; and a method of use of the decal.

A passivating flexible insulation blanket positionable about a pipe includes an insulation core, an enclosing fabric, and a non-consumable passivator. The insulation core is substantially hydrophobic and includes a microporous material. The enclosing fabric fully encapsulates the insulation core to form a capsule or pouch about the insulation core. The non-consumable passivator is non-consumable such that there is no appreciable change to a mass of the non-consumable passivator after an extended time of activation. The non-consumable passivator is deposited into the insulation core and has a composition soluble in water. The non-consumable passivator includes a leachable component that leaches from the insulation core and is capable of neutralizing acidic components. The leachable component is water soluble and is capable of reacting with a surface of the pipe to form a protective coating on the pipe to aid in inhibiting corrosion formation on the surface of the pipe.

The present disclosure provides a protector sticking assist device for electronic equipment, including a protector sticking assist device main body, an electronic equipment containing slot is formed at a position where the protector sticking assist device main body corresponds to the electronic equipment, a tempered glass screen protector containing slot is formed in a slot bottom of the electronic equipment containing slot, an interval top resisting portion is disposed between an inner side of a slot wall of the electronic equipment containing slot and a top of a slot wall of the tempered glass screen protector containing slot, and a screen protector traction paste threading slot is formed in a slot wall of a lower end of the electronic equipment containing slot.

The present disclosure relates to liners and methods of making liners. The liners may be suitable for use with tanks and other storage/containment vessels, such as process tanks, immersion tanks, indoor or outdoor containment pits, gravity feed conduits (e.g., concrete trench, canal, or drain, etc.) for transferring or conveying liquid, grain storage tanks or containers (e.g., dielectric or electrically non-conductive liners for grain storage, etc.), etc.
