Disclosed herein is a kit including one or more decorative elements (pixel layers) and a substrate. The pixel layers can comprise a pre-shaped layer of rigid, semi-rigid, and/or flexible material that can mate with and/or attach to a substrate (for example, to decorate the substrate). Moreover, the substrate can have an adhesive backing to attach to at least one surface. Example uses of the disclosure include toy building blocks and hobby craft kits (for example, hobby craft kits including creative patterns with instructions, pixel layers, and substrates). The hobby craft kits can be used to make abstract designs for decorating notebook covers, phone covers, and tablet covers.

Adhering systems for magnetizable laminates to assist preventing delamination of magnetizable laminates exposed to direct sunlight; and, relating to preventing fouling of cutting blades during cutting of magnetizable laminates.

A thermally insulated floor for a trailer includes a layer of parallel support beams. Each support beam is oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to a forward direction of the trailer. A substantially planar panel of thermally insulating material is disposed on and supported by the layer of parallel support beams. A substantially planar layer of extruded aluminum is disposed on and supported by the panel of thermally insulating material. The support beams, the panel of thermally insulating material, and the layer of extruded aluminum are secured together.

A coating for paperboard includes polyethylene outer layers and a polyethylene inner layer with calcium carbonate filler. In addition to the lower cost, benefits include a surprising better heat sealing behavior compared with a coating of polyethylene alone.

A cellulose fiber-based substrate, at least one side of which is coated with an aqueous mixture composed of: a) at least one water-soluble polymer (WSP) containing hydroxyl groups, b) at least one lactone substituted with at least one linear or branched and/or cyclic C.sub.8-C.sub.30 hydrocarbon chain which may contain heteroatoms, c)at least one crosslinking agent. A method of production and use thereof.

A fibrous insulation member, a mechanism for attaching the insulation member to a building structure, and a method for attaching the insulation member to a structure utilizing the mechanism. The insulation member including a fibrous insulation body having a first lateral surface, a second lateral surface spaced apart from the first lateral surface, and a face extending from the first lateral surface to the second lateral surface. The insulation member also including a facing having a first portion attached to the face and extending the width of the face, and a second portion extending beyond the first lateral surface, the second portion having a first thickness and including a first guide having a second thickness greater than the first thickness.

A packaging bag for packaging a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin that contains a modified group having active hydrogen, the packaging bag including a film having a water vapor permeability of 10 g/m.sup.2/day or less. Accordingly, when a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin that contains a modified group having active hydrogen is packaged with the packaging bag, the storage stability of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin that contains a modified group having active hydrogen can be improved, and hence an aqueous solution of the polyvinyl alcohol-based resin that contains a modified group having active hydrogen, the solution being reduced in insoluble matter content, can be obtained even after long-term storage thereof.

Provided herein are a radiant insulation protector manufacturing apparatus and a radiant insulation protector manufactured using the same which includes a tubular type core member having excellent thermal resistance and durability and an aluminum sheet protection member for external heat radiation overlapped on the core member in a spiral type to wrap the core member, thereby preventing the aluminum sheet protection member from being crumpled and torn and being capable of being directly inserted into an object like a sleeve.

A laminate composite material (1), suitable for the packaging of food products and having a multilayer structure comprising: a first outer layer (21) of paper or plastic film; an inner layer (22) of adhesive; and an intermediate layer (23) interposed between the first and the second layer and made of sodium silicate (Na.sub.2O×SiO.sub.2).

A multilayer tape assembly is described which can be used with insulation jacketing and particularly for self sealing lap (SSL) applications. The tape assembly includes two adhesive layers with associated carrier and release layers in conjunction with a differential release system. Various methods of use are also described.
