A method for dielectrically heating foamable composition to foam and set the composition is described. In particular, radio frequency (RF) heating is used to heat the foamable composition to provide insulation in the manufacture of an article.

A scrubbing article including a substrate and a texture layer. The texture layer is formed on at least one surface of the substrate, and is a solvent-free texture layer. The texture layer can include a plastisol ink or a hot melt adhesive, and may further include a plurality of ceramic microspheres. Methods of manufacture are also provided in which a solvent-free texture layer composition is applied to a substrate and then solidified to form a texture layer. In some non-limiting embodiments, the texture layer composition includes a hot melt adhesive and is applied to the substrate in the form of a wetted cellulose sponge.

Provided are wallboard panels that include a foam material layer and a core material, with one or more sheets of facer material and/or one or more sheets of backing material. The foam material layer may include one or more pores having an open pore geometry. Additionally, provided are methods of manufacturing such wallboard panels.

A non-woven textile may be formed from a plurality of thermoplastic polymer filaments. The non-woven textile may have a first region and a second region, with the filaments of the first region being fused to a greater degree than the filaments of the second region. A variety of products, including apparel (e.g., shirts, pants, footwear), may incorporate the non-woven textile. In some of these products, the non-woven textile may be joined with another textile element to form a seam. More particularly, an edge area of the non-woven textile may be heatbonded with an edge area of the other textile element at the seam. In other products, the non-woven textile may be joined with another component, whether a textile or a non-textile.

A method for forming an antiballistic panel includes selecting a largest ceramic plate, i.e. one with a widest circumference, from a batch of ceramic plates; forming a number of transparent rear covers with the shape of said largest ceramic plate; forming a batch of antiballistic panels each based on a single ceramic plate, wherein each antiballistic panel is vacuum baked from the following: a fibre reinforced composite layer which at least covers a front face of the ceramic plate; a trauma reducing fibre reinforced composite layer on a rear face of the ceramic plate; a binder cloth on the trauma reducing composite layer's rear face; an expanding, gluing foam on said binder cloth; mounting a transparent back cover onto the gluing foam to cover an entire circumference of the vacuum baked antiballistic panels; compression of the antiballistic panel now including the rear cover; and hardening of the foam.

Described herein are laminated packaging materials comprising foamed cellulose, their use in manufacturing packaging containers, for use in packaging of food products.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a laminated cellulose-based liquid or semi-liquid food packaging material, wherein the laminated packaging material has a bulk material layer, wherein a further sheet is laminated to the bulk material layer by an aqueous adhesive composition. The invention further relates the laminated packaging materials obtained by the method and to a packaging container for liquid food packaging, comprising the laminated packaging material or being made from the laminated packaging material obtained by the method.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composite for thermal insulation comprising at least layers (L1), (L2) and (LB), the process comprising the steps of providing layer (L1) containing from 25 to 95% by weight of aerogel and from 5 to 75% by weight of fibers and from 0 to 70% by weight of fillers and layer (L2) containing from 25 to 95% by weight of aerogel and from 5 to 75% by weight of fibers and from 0 to 70% by weight of fillers; applying a composition (C1) comprising an inorganic binder on one surface of the layer (L1) or layer (L2) or layer (L1) and (L2), and combining layer (L1) and layer (L2) in a manner that composition (C1) is located between layer (L1) and (L2), wherein composition (C1) is applied in the form of a, as well as a composite for thermal insulation comprising at least layers (L1), (L2) and layer (LB) which is located between layers (L1) and (L2) and the use of said composite for thermal insulation.

A sealing for arrangement between a wall and a wall covering includes a sealing sheet and an adhesive tape. The sealing sheet and the adhesive tape each have a carrier layer of a preferably closed-cell foam plastic. Furthermore, the sealing sheet can bear a nonwoven fabric preferably on the wall-facing side, wherein border strips remain free of the nonwoven fabric for underlapping with an adhesive tape.
