A fully compostable container is provided having an enclosed body with an opening through an interior surface and an exterior surface. The enclosed body having a plant fiber structural layer configured to biodegrade in ambient conditions into nontoxic residue and a fluid barrier layer formed on a first side of the structural layer to form the interior surface of the enclosed body, the fluid barrier layer configured to biodegrade in ambient conditions into nontoxic residue. The container is gradually biodegradable when exposed to a set of factors in a natural environment and has a shelf life of six months when stored under standard commercial conditions.

Film stacks are described. In particular, film stacks including a base overlaminate film layer and a removeable skin layer disposed on the base overlaminate film layer are described. Because the removable skin layer develops haze before the point of irreversibly damaging the base overlaminate layer, the film stack can prevent unintentional overstretching when the film stack is stretched together.

A method for producing a decorated plastic molded article with the steps: a) providing a base body made of a fiber composite plastic b) providing a decorative film; c) heating the base body; d) joining the base body and the decorative film in a mold.

An image display apparatus that that can easily separate an image display apparatus from a touch panel. The image display apparatus comprises a liquid crystal panel (image display apparatus main body), a touch panel that has a fine, uneven structure on its surface and faces the liquid crystal panel via a gap, and an adhesive member for securing these, the adhesive member comprising a substrate, a first adhesive layer, and a second adhesive layer, wherein an adhesive strength (W1) between the first adhesive layer and the liquid crystal panel is less than an adhesive strength (W3) of the first adhesive layer and the substrate, an adhesive strength (W3′) of the second adhesive layer and the substrate, and an adhesive strength (W5) of the second adhesive layer and the touch panel, and wherein a breaking strength (W4) of the substrate is greater than W3′ and/or W5.

An object of the invention is to provide a novel laminate and a novel image display device which have both of a gas barrier function and a polarizer function and have a reduced thickness as compared to those in the related art. A laminate of the invention has a laminate which has a substrate, an inorganic layer, and an organic layer, and the organic layer contains an organic dichroic pigment.

A polyurethane adhesive composition that includes a polyurethane prepolymer that includes the reaction product of a first polyol component that includes glycerol monoester and a polyisocyanate, and a second polyol. A polyurethane prepolymer that includes the reaction product of glycerol monoester, a hydroxy functional triglyceride, and a poly isocyanate.

A cushioning material and a method to make the same is disclosed. The cushioning material includes: a cellulose base sheet; a co-layer binder disposed on the cellulose base sheet; and a plurality of discrete cuts disposed in the cellulose base sheet, wherein the cellulose base sheet is configured to be expanded and locked using heat activation and a solvent.

The present disclosure provides a two-component solvent-less adhesive composition. The two-component solvent-less adhesive composition contains the reaction product of (A) an isocyanate component containing the reaction product of (i) an isocyanate monomer and (ii) a first dimer acid polyester polyol; and (B) a polyol component containing (i) a second dimer acid polyester polyol and (ii) optionally, a polyol selected from a polyether polyol, a polyester polyol, and combinations thereof. The two-component solvent-less adhesive composition contains from 15 wt % to 45 wt % units derived from dimer acid, based on the total weight of the two-component solvent-less adhesive composition.
