There is provided a pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising a polyurethane polymer that comprises the reaction product of a polyisocyanate component and a polyol component. The polyol component has a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) less than 10. The polyurethane further comprises 0.5 to 10 wt.-% of hydrophilic polymerized units having an HLB greater than 12, such as a reaction product of a polyethylene glycol polymer. In another embodiment, the polyurethane further comprises pendent ethylenically unsaturated groups. Also described are articles such as laminating tapes and protective films as well as methods of bonding substrates with the pressure sensitive adhesive and laminating tape.

A polyester pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is provided including a polyester resin having a predetermined amount of a structural unit derived from a hydrogenated polybutadiene structure-containing compound, or a polyester resin having a structural unit derived from a hydrogenated polybutadiene structure-containing compound and a predetermined amount of a structural unit derived from an aromatic ring structure-containing compound. The polyester pressure-sensitive adhesive composition has superior adhesion to a polyolefin base material and is highly transparency.

A wear element is disclosed for contacting a roll surface in a papermaking machine. The wear element includes a renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly, bio-derived resin matrix and renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly, natural reinforcement fibres.

Web material structuring belts that impart structure to a web material during a web material structuring operation and/or structured web material forming operation, method for making same and methods for using same to make structured web materials, for example structured fibrous structures, such as structured sanitary tissue products such as structured toilet tissue, structured paper towels and structured facial tissue are provided.

An insulated panel assembly having improved insulative R-value. The insulated panel assembly comprises a cover panel, a first insulation layer, and at least one additional insulation layer, wherein the at least one additional insulation layer has a higher R-value than the first insulation layer. The first insulation layer is secured to the cover panel. The first insulation layer further forms at least one recessed portion. The at least one additional insulation layer is positioned in the at least one recessed portion of the first insulation layer. Examples of the at least one additional insulation layer may include vacuum insulated panels and modified atmosphere insulation panels.

The present disclosure provides a fuel-impermeable structural unit for use as a structural element of a fuel tank, including a multi-plies structure made of one or more composite material and polymers, and, a sealing polymeric film structurally bonded to and coating the entire surface of at least one face of the multi-plied structure. The polymeric film is integrated with an underlying external layer of said multi-plies structure, is impermeable to the fuel, is not reactive with the fuel, and can bind to an adhesive for fixing one or more rigid elements thereto.

Described herein are resilient floor coverings produced by using digitally printed UV-cured inks and exhibiting high adhesion properties between an ink layer and a wear layer. Also described herein are methods for manufacturing same. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a decorative panel, comprising a core layer provided with a decor layer, said décor layer comprising a substrate layer provided with at least one coating, wherein within said decorative panel at least one induction coil is located. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of such a decorative panel in indoor and/or outdoor furniture and in interior and/or exterior decoration.

A moisture resistant carpet exhibiting exceptional delamination strength and methods of making same are disclosed.
