A continuous process for preparing insulation panels having thick (0.2 mm to 1 mm) metal facing panels and a fiber-reinforced polymer foam core is disclosed. In the process, a bottom metal facing panel (2) is continuously supplied. A mat (10) of reinforcing fibers and a foamable resin composition (19) are applied to the bottom facing panel. A flexible barrier layer (5) is applied atop the foamable resin composition, and the assembly is passed through nip rolls (12,13) to compress the assembly and force the resin composition into the fiber mat. An adhesive layer (4) and top metallic facing layer (1) are then applied on top of the flexible barrier layer, and the resulting assembly is gauged and cured by passing it through a double band laminator (11).

A semi product for building panels or structural elements comprising several wood lamellas (5) fixed by distance elements (4), a building panel with such a semi product and a method of producing the semi product and the building panel. A method of producing a semi-product for a structural element or for a core for a building panel, wherein the method comprises the step of: attaching at least two distance strips by an adhesive to a first wood board; attaching a second wood board to the distance strips by an adhesive; and cutting the first and the second wood boards and the distance strips in the length direction of the wood boards.

Heat resistant brittle films can be made from impact-modified poly(meth)acrylimide, and forgery prevention labels can contain the heat resistant brittle films. The films can be advantageously prepared by extrusion and, depending on the desired purpose, can be designed to be transparent, translucent, or entirely non-transparent, e.g., white. Ideally, the brittle films and the forgery prevention labels containing the brittle films have no intended break points such as slits, perforation, etc.

A composite ballistic panel provides cost-effective ballistic protection against projectiles. The composite ballistic panel comprises a composite ballistic assembly with an impact/strip layer that alters the projectile during striking contact with the projectile by flattening the projectile, distorting the shape of the projectile, reducing rotation of the projectile, reducing the velocity of the projectile, and inducing yaw to the projectile; a non-ballistic deflection layer that forms a cavity to inhibit propagation of the projectile's shock wave; and a containment layer that stops and captures the projectile within the composite ballistic assembly. Additionally, the composite ballistic panel may have a protection layer and a boundary edge to enhance capture of the projectile and ballistic characteristics, and an intermediate layer that acts as spacer between layers.

The invention relates to a multi-layered structure intended for producing a packaging article for storage purposes and to a method for producing said structure. The essence of the invention is that a multi-layered composition based on foamed recycled polyethylene terephthalate comprises a printed layer, a layer of foamed recycled polyethylene terephthalate having a density of from 100 kg/m.sup.3 to 900 kg/m.sup.3 and an intrinsic viscosity of from 0.5 dl/g to 1.0 dl/g, and also a layer of polyethylene or a polyethylene copolymer, or a polyethylene terephthalate copolymer. A method for producing a multi-layered composition consists in cleaning polyethylene terephthalate waste, then grinding same into fractions, followed by melting it and subsequently extruding the melt, then producing granulated polyethylene terephthalate, then extruding the granulated polyethylene terephthalate, foaming the melt, subsequently cooling the foamed recycled polyethylene terephthalate, calendering it to a thickness of from 200 μm to 1000 μm.

A window manufacturing method includes providing a first adhesive on a dummy substrate, providing a first mother substrate on the first adhesive, disposing a first portion of an interleaving paper on a surface of a suction stage disposed on the first mother substrate, the surface of the suction stage facing the first mother substrate, and pressing the suction stage toward the first mother substrate to attach the first mother substrate to the dummy substrate.

A method of attaching an elastic protective film on an object is provided. Firstly, the object is provided. Then, an adhesive layer is installed on the object. Then, the elastic protective film is provided. Then, a buffering element is provided. Then, a piercing element is provided. A side of the piercing element facing the buffering element includes plural needle-like structures. Then, the piercing element and the buffering element are pressed on the elastic protective film, the adhesive layer and the object along a first direction. Consequently, the buffering element and the elastic protective film are pierced by the plural needle-like structures. Then, the piercing element and the buffering element are removed along a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

The present invention provides a system for the manufacture of membrane electrode assemblies, comprising: a first carriage traversable along a first track, the first carriage having a support platform; a second carriage traversable along a second track, the second carriage having a support platform; sheet supplying means for supplying sheets comprising a gas diffusion layer onto the support platforms of the carriages; and supply means for supplying a continuous web comprising an ion-conducting membrane between at least a portion of the first and second tracks, wherein the system is arranged to align the first and second carriages either side of the continuous web with the support platforms of the first and second carriages facing the continuous web, whereby the system is suitable for adhering sheets carried thereby to opposite sides of the continuous web in an aligned configuration.

A direct thermal printable construct, such as a ticket, game piece, coupon, collection piece, label, security card, or voucher includes a thermally printable medium and a metallized layer bonded directly or indirectly to the thermally printable medium. A thermosensitive imaging layer of the thermally printable medium is printable by exposing the metallized layer to localized heat of a thermal printer for inducing local changes in the color of the thermosensitive imaging layer that are obscured from view through both the metallized layer and a base substrate of the thermally printable medium. One or more areas of the metallized layer are arranged to be removable by a scratching action using a fingernail or coin for revealing the underlying local changes in the color of the thermosensitive imaging layer.
