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.

A decorative molded component includes: a substrate having a shell extending along a mating surface and a through hole adjacent to the shell and defined along the mating surface; and a molded body coated to the mating surface, the molded body covering the through hole to be continuous from a skin bonded to the shell. The decorative molded component improves appearance while keeping the functions of the two members.

A vehicle trim element is formed by a method that includes the steps of: applying a film on the front face of a layer of ligneous material, with the applied film having at least one engraved pattern; placing the layer of ligneous material together with the applied film in a forming tool, with the front face of the layer being turned towards a wall of the forming tool; pressing the layer of ligneous material together with the applied film against the wall such that the layer adopts the shape of the trim element to be produced and such that, during the pressing of the layer and applied film, the engraved pattern is transferred to the front face of the layer; and removing the film after the pressing of the layer of ligneous material in order to obtain the trim element having a front face with the engraved pattern.

Methods of manufacturing and fixtures for manufacturing containers, particularly for holding cosmetic products, using thin-walled tubes. One end of a container may be formed using an integral process, such as insert molding, while the other end of the container is formed using assembly steps, such as welding, to form a completed cosmetics container from a thin-walled tube.

In a method for the further processing of a product (30) that is preferably prefabricated in large numbers, the product has a surface (31) for an additive multi-dimensional application of material. Information for the additive multi-dimensional application of material is input into a device in which the multi-dimensional application of material is digitised from this information and is deconstructed into elements that are suitable for the additive application of the application of material to the surface (31). The prefabricated product (30) is introduced into a device (I) for additive application of the material application such that the elements for the additive multi-dimensional application of material on the surface (31) are assembled in accordance with the information using an additive manufacturing method. Because the surface is an individualising surface (31) of the prefabricated product, and because the additive application of material is a multi-dimensional individualisation that is intended and suitable for individualising the product, and because at least one of the prefabricated products is identified by the information and is provided individually with the multi-dimensional individualisation (32), a method is provided by which products that are prefabricated in relatively large numbers can be further processed, individualised or personalised to meet individual demands. The prefabricated product (30) is equipped with an associated information carrier for receiving the information for individualisation that supports the method sequence.

Provided are an inlet pipe including a curved portion having a curved shape, and a molding method thereof. In the molding method of the inlet pipe, that one part of the inlet pipe which includes a curved portion having a large curvature is molded by injection molding, and the other part of the inlet pipe except the one part molded by the injection molding is molded by blow molding.

The invention relates to a device and a method for semi-continuous blow moulding of fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic, endless, hollow-profile-shaped components with longitudinally constant or varying cross-sections, consisting of at least one consolidation tool, which, in its closed state, encloses a preform enclosing an elastically moldable pressure chamber.

An easy peel sealant film includes at least a support layer and a peel layer. The support layer has a composition which contains 100 to 70 mass % of a linear low-density polyethylene, and 0 to 30 mass % of a propylene homopolymer. The peel layer has a composition which contains 40 to 60 mass % of a low-density polyethylene, 10 to 20 mass % of a high-density polyethylene, and 20 to 50 mass % of a propylene homopolymer. The propylene homopolymer in the support layer and the propylene homopolymer in the peel layer have a melt flow rate of 1 g/10 min to 9 g/10 min.

A molding apparatus that adsorbs thermoplastic resin extruded in a sheet form from an extruding machine, onto a cavity of a mold, and shapes the thermoplastic resin into a shape according to the cavity is provided. The molding apparatus may include a frame that is positioned on a periphery of the mold and is movable relative to the mold, wherein a suction part for suctioning the thermoplastic resin is provided in a contact surface of the frame to contact the thermoplastic resin, and the suction part is provided in a linear shape along with a longitudinal direction of the frame positioned on the periphery of the mold.

A large area patterned film includes a first patterned area; a second patterned area; and a seam joining the first patterned area and the second patterned area, wherein the seam has a width less than about 20 micrometers. A method for tiling patterned areas includes depositing a predetermined thickness of a curable material; contacting a first portion of the curable material with a mold; curing the first portion of the curable material; removing the mold from the cured first portion of the curable material; contacting a second portion of the curable material with the mold, such that the mold contacts a portion of the cured first portion of the curable material; curing the second portion of the curable material; and removing the mold to yield a seam between the cured first portion of the curable material and the cured second portion of the curable material, wherein the seam has a dimension less than about 20 micrometers.
