A battery packaging material is formed of a laminate. The laminate is composed of an outer layer including a substrate layer, a barrier layer as an intermediate layer, and a heat fusible resin layer as an innermost layer. The total thickness of the laminate is 60 μm to 220 μm. The barrier layer is formed of a metal foil. The product of a stress value and a thickness of the heat fusible resin layer at a time of 10% stretching is 1,200 Pa.Math.m or more.

Described herein is a process for producing insulated pipes including providing a media pipe and a film hose continuously formed from a film or a media pipe and a jacketing pipe, wherein the media pipe is arranged inside the film hose or the jacketing pipe and a slot is formed between the media pipe and the film hose or jacketing pipe, wherein an adhesion promoter is applied to the surface of the media pipe facing the film hose or the jacketing pipe, introducing a polyurethane system at least including an isocyanate component (a) including at least one isocyanate, a polyol component (b), and at least one catalyst into the slot before the adhesion promoter is fully cured, and foaming and curing the polyurethane system. Also described herein are insulated pipes obtainable or obtained by such a process.

The present invention is a glass sheet composite in which the loss coefficient is 1×10.sup.−2 or more and the longitudinal wave acoustic velocity in the sheet thickness direction is 5.5×10.sup.3 m/s or more.

A sachet product that includes a biodegradable and/or home compostable sachet comprising a front film and a back film. In some examples, the front film and back film can include a middle layer that can contain paper with greater than 85% cellulose and an inner layer that can include different material, including but not limited to polyvinyl alcohol or polyhydroxylalkonate. The sachet can include a compartment adapted for storing a solid article where the solid article is an open cell foam. The open cell foam can include a water-soluble polymer and a surfactant.

The invention relates to the use of a surface size composition comprising at least one cellulose derivative selected from cellulose ethers, excluding carboxyalkyl celluloses, for providing compression strength for a fibrous web, such as paper, board or the like, preferably comprising recycled cellulosic fibres. The invention relates also to a method for surface sizing of paper, board or the like.

A process for in-line extrusion of polymeric coatings onto roofing shingles during manufacturing includes moving a web of shingle substrate material in a downstream direction and extruding a liquefied coating of polymeric material onto at least one surface of the moving web to form a thin film. The liquefied coating may be a molten polymeric material that forms a thin film on a back surface of the shingle material to prevent sticking and eliminate the need for a traditional back dusting with material such as powdered stone. The polymeric film further may be applied to the substrate material in lieu of a saturation coating of asphalt, thus reducing cost and weight while providing a comparable moisture barrier and a lighter more flexible shingle.

A concrete construction (100) made by 3D concrete printing that contains: two or more layers (102, 106) of cementitious material extruded one above the other, and at least one elongated steel element (104, 108) reinforcing at least one of the two or more layers. The elongated steel element (104, 108) is provided with a first crimp. Due to the crimp, a good anchorage in concrete is obtained and the anchorage force is predictable, since the standard deviation of the anchorage force is very small. The elongated steel element can be a single steel wire with a diameter D, the amplitude of the crimp ranges from 1.05×D to 5.0×D. The elongated steel element can also be a steel with steel filaments having a maximum diameter d. The amplitude of the crimp ranges from 1.05×d to 5.0×d.

A cushion structure and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The cushion structure includes an intermediate layer, two rubber layers, and two surface layers. The intermediate layer has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The two rubber layers are respectively disposed on the first surface and the second surface of the intermediate layer. The two surface layers are respectively disposed on the two rubber layers. Each of the two rubber layers is formed from a rubber composition that includes a main rubber, a solvent, a conductive carbon material, and a foaming agent.

Described herein are articles and methods of making articles, for example glass articles, comprising a thin sheet and a carrier, wherein the thin sheet and carrier are bonded together using a modification (coating) layer, for example a coating layer comprising a cationic surfactant or a coating layer comprising an organic salt, and associated deposition methods. The modification layer bonds the thin sheet and carrier together with sufficient bond strength to prevent delamination of the thin sheet and the carrier during high temperature (? 500° C.) processing while also preventing formation of a permanent bond between the sheets during such processing.

A roofing shingle includes an overlay sheet, an underlay sheet, and a reinforcement member. The overlay sheet includes a headlap portion and a tab portion, wherein the overlay sheet has an overlay sheet height. The underlay sheet is secured to a bottom surface of the overlay sheet such that a region of the underlay sheet overlaps a region of the headlap portion of the overlay sheet. The reinforcement material is secured to a top surface of the headlap portion of the overlay sheet, wherein the reinforcement material is configured to improve nail pull-through, wherein the reinforcement material extends beyond the overlapping regions of the headlap portion and the underlay sheet.
