A process for producing a colorfast thermal appliqué using a polyester knit fabric blank, dye-sublimation printing a graphic image on the fabric blank, and laminating a triple-layer polyurethane adhesive on another side of the printed fabric blank. The triple-layer adhesive comprises a first layer of clear ink resistant polyurethane adhesive followed by a white-pigmented ink resistant polyurethane adhesive and a third clear layer of ink-resistant polyurethane adhesive. The first layer of the triple-layer adhesive is fused under combined temperature and pressure to the polyester blank until said first and second layers impregnates into said fabric blank. The fabric blank is then cut into a discrete finished appliqué that does not substantially change the physical and visual characteristics of a performance fabric substrate to which the appliqué is applied.

A method and device for coating projecting surfaces of discrete projections of a product substrate that has functional units arranged at least partially in recesses. The method includes the steps of: bringing the projecting surfaces into contact with a coating material that is applied on a carrier substrate, and separating the carrier substrate from the projecting surfaces in such a way that the coating material remains partially on the product substrate. In addition, this invention relates to a corresponding device.

A flexible laminated sheet manufacturing method includes thermocompression-bonding an insulation film formed of a liquid crystal polymer onto a metal foil between endless belts to form a flexible laminated sheet. The thermocompression bonding includes heating the flexible laminated sheet so that the maximum temperature of the sheet is in the range from a temperature that is 45° C. lower than the melting point of the liquid crystal polymer to a temperature that is 5° C. lower than the melting point. The thermocompression bonding also includes slowly cooling the flexible laminated sheet so that an exit temperature, which is a temperature of the sheet when transferred out of the endless belts, is in the range from a temperature that is 235° C. lower than the melting point of the liquid crystal polymer to a temperature that is 100° C. lower than the melting point.

A laminated surface covering including a facing material made of vinyl and a backing material comprising a rubber component. The rubber component comprising at least a matrix of bonded rubber granules. A bonding material disposed between the facing material and the backing material. The facing material configured to melt at a temperature between 165° F. and 248° F. infiltrating the backing material thereby essentially encasing the rubber granules of the matrix and providing fire retardation and smoke suppression qualities.

A joining method for joining a resin member and a metal member by heating is provided. Joining of the resin member and metal member is performed by heating a joining interface of the resin member and metal member to a temperature in a range of equal to or higher than a decomposition temperature of the resin member and lower than a temperature at which gas bubbles are generated in the resin member and by cooling a surface of the resin member on the opposite side from a joining surface thereof with the metal member to a temperature that is lower than the melting point of the resin member.
