The present invention relates to a composite container comprising a bottom film layer and a top film layer at least partially adhered to the bottom film layer. The top film layer is scored to form at least one resealable flap and at least one pull tab which is not adhered to the bottom film layer. The bottom film layer comprises at least one cavity opening. A cardboard layer is adhered on its lower surface to the upper surface of the top film layer, wherein the cardboard layer has at least one cavity opening which is substantially aligned with the scoring of the top film layer resealable flap and the cardboard layer is perforated to define a perimeter of at least one pull tab which is substantially aligned with and adhered, on its underside, to the upper surface of the top film layer pull tab.

A foil-wrapped vacuum insulation panel having a core, and an air-tight envelope in the form of a wrapping foil surrounding the core made of powder or granulate, wherein between the core made of powder or granulate and the air-tight wrapping foil, there is provided at least one intermediate layer of cardboard and/or paperboard, which completely envelopes the core made of powder or granulate in a powder-tight manner and is formed cuboid box which has approximately the same shape as the finished vacuum insulation element, wherein the powder or granulate is filled into the cuboid box in such an amount that the body is completely filled up to its very top, and the shape of the vacuum insulation element is acquired only via the cuboid box and not by the powder or granulate, while the structural integrity of the core is not sufficient to retain the shape of the core on its own without the surrounding cardboard or paperboard box.

A radio wave absorbing member 1a includes a radio wave absorber 10 and a support 20 having a sheet shape. The radio wave absorber 10 includes a resistive layer 12, a reflective layer 14, and a dielectric layer 13. The reflective layer 14 reflects a radio wave. The dielectric layer 13 is disposed between the resistive layer 12 and the reflective layer 14 in the thickness direction of the reflective layer 14. The support 20 supports the radio wave absorber 10. The support 20 includes a matrix resin 20m and a flame retardant 20p.

The present invention is directed to new and improved industrial containment bags wherein the improvement comprises providing methods and technologies for improving the integrity of such bags during processes designed for lifting, transporting storing and/or disposing of the same. In certain embodiments, the improvement includes providing methods and technologies for improving the sealing capabilities of the bag's closure systems. In other embodiments, the improvement includes providing methods and technologies for assessing the load balance of materials being contained in such industrial containment bags; and thereafter, compensating for any significant load imbalances. The present invention is also directed to methods of manufacturing, using, filling, lifting, transporting, storing, and/or disposing of such new and improved industrial containment bags.

The invention relates to the use of a surface size composition comprising at least one cellulose derivative selected from cellulose ethers, excluding carboxyalkyl celluloses, for providing compression strength for a fibrous web, such as paper, board or the like, preferably comprising recycled cellulosic fibres. The invention relates also to a method for surface sizing of paper, board or the like.

A composite sandwich panel assembly including an open area core, a high gloss surface sheet, and a structural skin. The open are core defines a plurality of pores and has a first face and an opposing second face. The high gloss surface sheet is adhered to the first face of the open area core by a first adhesive layer. The high gloss surface sheet has a high gloss surface. The structural skin is adhered to the second face of the open area core by a second adhesive layer. A process for forming the composite sandwich panel assembly includes positioning the high gloss surface sheet, joining the first face of the open area core to the high gloss surface sheet with a first adhesive layer intermediate therebetween, and joining the structural skin to the second face of the open area core with a second adhesive layer intermediate therebetween.

Certain configurations of composite panels are described that comprise at least one aesthetic edge. In some embodiments, the composite panel with the aesthetic edge comprises a sandwich panel coupled to a shell layer. The sandwich panel may comprise skin layers and a core layer.

Provided is a wheat straw paper composite for a packaging material, comprising a first layer and second layer of wheat straw paper; and a layer of wheat flour film therebetween. Also provided is a laminate comprising at least three of the wheat straw paper composites, the first and second wheat straw paper composites in the form of a flat sheet, and the third wheat straw paper composite corrugated to include a plurality of flutes and positioned between the first and second wheat straw paper composite. Also provided is a system for packaging and physically protecting electronic devices in transit. The packaging system includes the laminate provided herein as an external protection container in combination with a corn foam insert that comprises a biodegradable cornstarch foam product comprising at least 60 wt % cornstarch, or a biodegradable expanded foam comprising a polylactic acid.
