Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to roofing systems. In some embodiments, the roofing system includes a deck, a roofing material, and an underlayment configured to be positioned between the roofing material and the deck. In some embodiments, the underlayment comprises a foil layer and an adhesive layer that is attached to the foil layer and configured to be attached to the deck. Methods of manufacturing roofing systems are also disclosed.

A process for making a card includes the steps of forming a core layer having a first surface and a second surface, disposing an uncured decorative ceramic layer of ceramic particles disposed in a resin binder over the first surface of the core layer, such as by spray coating, and curing the uncured decorative ceramic layer to form a cured decorative ceramic layer. Card products of the process may have a core layer of metal, ceramic, or a combination thereof that form a bulk of the card.

An exterior sheathing cementitious panel which prevents water penetration and air leakage is provided. Methods for manufacturing exterior sheathing cementitious panels with a highly efficient integrated air/water barrier sheet are also provided. An exterior sheathing system employing the exterior sheathing cementitious panel is provided.

A composite material comprising a plastic layer; and a steel sheet laminated on one side or both sides of the plastic layer, and having a structure in which plastic particles are introduced onto the surface of the side where the plastic layer is laminated with the steel sheet and a method for producing the same are provided, wherein the composite material is capable of being used as automotive parts or structures, and the like.

A method of assessing the quality of a bond coat for bonding a ceramic coating to a metallic substrate comprises determining a thresholded summit area for the bond coat.

According to one embodiment, a wet-area device includes a main part, a first layer, and a second layer. The first layer is provided on an outer surface of the main part. The second layer is provided on an outer surface of the first layer. A hardness of the second layer is greater than a hardness of the first layer. The first layer includes a first unevenness at a side of the outer surface of the first layer. The first unevenness includes a plurality of recesses and a plurality of protrusions. The second layer includes a second unevenness at a side of an outer surface of the second layer. The second unevenness includes a plurality of recesses and a plurality of protrusions. The second unevenness is arranged along the first unevenness. An average height of the first unevenness is less than an average length of the first unevenness.

A cylinder head gasket with a carrier layer and at least one inserted sealing element, wherein the inserted sealing element has a passage opening for combustion gas, the inserted sealing element is fastened on the carrier layer on an outer side which is spaced apart from the passage opening, and the inserted sealing element has at least a first layer and at least one further layer. An engine component comprising the cylinder head gasket is disclosed, the engine component having an engine block unit, a cylinder sleeve unit which delimits the engine block unit at least in regions from a combustion chamber, and a cylinder head unit, wherein the cylinder head gasket is arranged between the cylinder head unit on one hand and the engine block unit and the cylinder sleeve unit on the other hand.

Provided are a transparent conducting film laminate capable of controlling a curl during and after the heating, and a processing method thereof. A transparent conducting film laminate comprising a transparent conducting film 10, and a carrier film 1 stacked on the transparent conducting film 10, wherein the carrier film is a polycarbonate film having no adhesive agent layer, the transparent conducting film 10 comprises a transparent resin film 2, a transparent conducting layer 3 containing metal nanowires and a binder resin, and an overcoat layer 4 stacked in this order, the transparent resin film 2 is made of an amorphous cycloolefin-based resin, and the carrier film to be releasably stacked on a main face of the transparent conducting film 2, the main face being opposite to the face on which the transparent conducting layer 3 is stacked.

An exterior material for an electrical storage device has a laminate including at least a base material layer, a barrier layer, and a thermosetting resin layer in this order, the barrier layer including an aluminum alloy foil that satisfies a composition of Si: 0.5 mass % or less, Fe: 0.2-2.0 mass % inclusive, and Mg: 0.1-5.0 mass % inclusive.

A laminated film in which a heat-resistant base film and a metal foil are bonded using an adhesive is provided with a barrier layer that prevents chemicals from entering the adhesive layer, between the metal foil and the adhesive layer. The barrier layer is made of a heat-resistant resin similar to that of the base film and has a water absorption rate of 1% or less. The adhesive layer is a silicone-based resin and has a thickness of 40 μm or more after drying.
