The method of manufacturing an adhesive wall finish includes forming a compressed plastic panel having first and second sides, laminating a deco sheet onto the first side using an adhesive member, wherein the deco sheet is laminated with at least one decorative pattern, obtaining a PE foam sheet having a first side and a second side, forming a first adhesive face on the PE foam sheet by applying an adhesive member to the first side of the PE foam sheet and attaching a release paper thereto, forming a second adhesive face on the PE foam sheet by applying an adhesive member to the second side of the PE foam sheet and attaching a release paper thereto, laminating the second side of the compressed plastic panel with one side of the PE foam sheet through the first adhesive face, and cutting the compressed plastic panel to certain size specifications.

A method of applying labels to a store shelf in a retail environment. The method includes applying labels with adhesive strips applied to a bottom surface of each label and a top laminate layer with a release coating applied to the top surface of each label. The labels in the pad are sequenced according to a store's planogram.

A support for installing facing materials such as ceramic tiles on a substrate such as floors, walls and ceilings wherein the support plate has a plurality of spaced apart recesses in the plate material, with the recesses being open at the top surface and have solid sidewalls and a base, and a plurality of slots in the non-recessed portions of the plate material extending through the top surface and bottom surface, the slots joining one or more adjacent recesses. The support plate of the invention is used for tile installations between the substrate and such tile. Thin-set mortar that is used to secure the tile to the support plate flows into the recesses and into the slots forming a continuous bond between the mortar and the adjacent slots providing for a strong bond between the support plate, mortar and the tiles.

A method of manufacturing an extended content label involves receiving label stock comprising a liner layer and a face stock layer, and de-laminating the liner layer from the face stock layer. The face stock layer and the liner layer each have a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the face stock layer has an adhesive layer that adheres the face stock layer to the liner layer. A first face stock image is printed onto the top surface of the liner layer. The printed face stock image is transferred to the bottom surface of the face stock layer, and a second face stock image is printed onto the top surface of the face stock layer. The transferring the printed face stock image involves re-laminating the face stock layer with the liner layer.

A method for manufacturing a disposable absorbent pant includes forming an elasticized multilayer web and joining a third nonwoven web to it and optionally sandwiching leg and waist elastic members between one or more layers of the elasticized multilayer web and/or the third nonwoven web to form disposable absorbent pants.

A perforated metal honeycomb structure is described. The perforated metal honeycomb structure may include a metal honeycomb structure having a plurality of laser-drilled holes wherein at least some of the plurality of holes are non-uniform in second, shape, and/or spacing between holes. In another embodiment, the perforated metal honeycomb structure may include an array of intercellular holes between hexagonal cells in the honeycomb structure. The array of intercellular holes may include at least a first hole and a second wherein the first and second holes are different from each other.

A method to prepare a composite laminate object containing an extrusion grade 7xxx Al substrate and a fiber-reinforced polypropylene layer adhesively laminated to the substrate; is provided. The process includes shaping and cutting an extruded 7xxx aluminum to a profile, assembling a layered arrangement of the 7xxx Al profile as substrate, an adhesive film and a fiber reinforced polypropylene preform, heating the layered arrangement to a temperature of 160-175 C. to melt the polypropylene and activate the adhesive film, applying pressure to at least a surface of the fiber reinforced polypropylene preform to mold the preform to the shape of the extruded 7xxxAl substrate and obtain a semi-finished laminate object, cooling the semi-finished laminate object to 90 C., optionally, cooling the semi-finished laminate object to room temperature for inventory storage; heat treating the semi-finished laminate object at 90 C. for 2 to 8 hours; and then heat treating the semi-finished laminate object at 130 C. to 150 C. for 8 to 16 hours; and cooling the heat treated object to obtain the composite laminate object.

A method of making the asphalt shingles includes applying a substrate to a layer of shingle-forming material, the substrate having indicators at predetermined spaced-apart distances, with the indicators being sensed as the shingle-forming layer is moved along a predetermined path, with adhesive zones being applied to the shingle such that the application of the adhesive zones is synchronized in response to sensing the locations of the indicators, and with the shingle-forming layer then being cut into individual shingles.

A process is provided to create a strip of selectively pressure-sensitive adhesive material. A first roller unwinds a backing and a roller dispenses a series of separated areas of inhibited adhesive material. A second roller applies a continuous layer of adhesive material over the inhibited adhesive material and backing. A facing is applied over the continuous layer of adhesive material. The machine then winds the finished material. A removable backing is coated with non-sticky material and then covered by a continuous sticky layer of material. A face stock material is then applied over the continuous sticky layer.

A method for producing coated chipboard (9) having a functional surface, wherein the chipboard (9), in a first step (S1), is covered continuously and simultaneously and on both sides using melamine-impregnated paper (90) and a functional carrier material (91), wherein the melamine-impregnated paper (90) and the functional carrier material (91) are laid continuously and simultaneously by two rolls (10) and (11) in each case on the chipboard (9). A system for carrying out the above method and for producing a coated chipboard (9) includes, for continuously operating the system and for continuously carrying out the method, in each case a suitable functional carrier material and paper unwinding device (1), a suitable cutting device (2), a suitable press (3), and a suitable functional carrier material draw-off device (4).
