The present disclosure provides a laminating device. The laminating device may include a first conveying device, a second conveying device, and a laminating apparatus. The first conveying device may be configured to convey a film-like structure. The second conveying device may be arranged along a conveying direction of the first conveying device. A conveying speed of the first conveying device may be greater than that of the second conveying device. The second conveying device may receive the film-like structure conveyed by the first conveying device. The film-like structure may form a folded portion on the second conveying device. The laminating apparatus may be configured to convey an object to be laminated and receive the film-like structure conveyed by the second conveying device. The film-like structure with the folded portion may be laminated with the object to be laminated on the laminating apparatus.

Disclosed herein are improved multi-layer laminates for decals or embellishments for clothing, e.g., lettering for athletic wear, and methods of producing the same.

The present application discloses an aerogel composite heat preservation fire-proof plate and a manufacturing process thereof. The aerogel composite heat preservation fire-proof plate comprises an upper surface layer, a fire-proof layer, a heat insulation layer, a polyurethane layer, and a lower surface layer which are compositely arranged from top to bottom in sequence. The interior of the fire-proof layer is hollow and filled with aluminum hydroxide particles. Working holes are uniformly formed in the fire-proof layer. Sealing double-screw bolts are connected in the working holes. Aerogel mounting grooves are uniformly formed in the surface, close to the fire-proof layer, of the heat insulation layer. There are heat insulation air cavities at one side, far away from the fire-proof layer, of the mounting grooves. The air cavities are communicated with all the mounting grooves. Aerogel fillers are arranged in the mounting grooves.

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 method for making nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric can include three-dimensional features that define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property. The nonwoven further has a plurality of apertures, wherein at least a portion of the aperture abuts at least one of the first region and the second region of the microzone.

A sports board incorporating reclaimed/reused sports board materials, and a method of making a such a sports board, allows for incorporation of portions of used (recycled) composite sports boards (or waste from the manufacture thereof) into new sports boards. This lessens the accumulation of composite sports board waste in the global environment, reduces the quantity of new virgin materials needed in the manufacture of new composite sports boards, and lessens the environmental impact of composite sports board manufacture and use. Optionally, the reclaimed sports board material may be incorporated into a new sports board in a manner providing structural enhancements (e.g., increased regional stiffness) to new sports boards. This may allow for structural enhancement while avoiding a significant increase in sports board weight, by incorporating used composite materials into new composite sports boards.

A method for producing a floorboard having a topside veneer includes forming a multilayer body which includes a starting carrier plate, a plurality of veneers placed on the starting carrier plate so that a gap is formed between neighboring ones of the veneers, a resin layer including a resin provided between the starting carrier plate and the veneers, and a balancing layer arranged on a bottom side of the starting carrier plate; joining the starting carrier plate, the resin layer, the veneers and the balancing layer by pressing the multilayer body in a press; separating the multilayer body into individual boards between the neighboring veneers in a region of the gap; profiling the individual boards at side borders of the boards; and providing the individual boards with joining means.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a method of producing a rigid board plastic flooring. The method includes extruding a bottom layer without adding a plasticizer, overlapping sequentially a back embossment board, the bottom layer, a first connecting layer, a decoration layer, and a wear layer to form a sandwich, hot pressing the sandwich with temperature and pressure and applying a UV treatment to a top surface of the sandwich after hot pressing the sandwich. The method continues by annealing the sandwich after applying the UV treatment, cooling the sandwich to ambient temperature, and cutting the sandwich to size.

A multilayered sheet assembly for forming a sign on an object includes a carrier layer including a first side and a second side, a sign layer that is arranged on the first side of the carrier layer via a first adhesive layer, and a strip layer that is arranged on the second side of the carrier layer via a second adhesive layer in an adhesively separable manner. The sign layer carries a third adhesive layer at an exposed side that is across from the carrier layer to allow a sign that is formed by the sign layer to adhere to the object at the exposed side while releasing from the carrier layer.

A method for manufacturing a personalized or customized decorative surface (103) having decorative laminate panels (119) including the steps of: segmenting a digital image of the personalized or customized decorative surface (103) into a plurality of decorative laminate panel images (108), wherein each decorative laminate panel image (108) is sized to fit on a decorative laminate panel (119); assigning a positioning code (109) to a decorative laminate panel image (108) for identifying its position in the digital image of the personalized or customized decorative surface (103); creating a non-staggered digital layout (110) of the plurality of decorative laminate panel images (108); inkjet printing the non-staggered digital layout (110) on a substrate (112); heat pressing the inkjet printed substrate with a protective layer (115) into a decorative laminate (113); dividing the decorative laminate (113) into decorative laminate panels (119), wherein the front side of a decorative laminate panel (119) includes one of the plurality of inkjet printed decorative laminate panel images (108) and the back-side of decorative laminate panel (119) includes the positioning code (109) of the decorative laminate panel image (108) inkjet printed on the front side of the decorative laminate panel (119).
