The present disclosure relates to a method of adhering a first part to a second part, wherein the first part and the second part are used for outdoor applications and comprise a thermoplastic or a thermosetting organic polymer. The present disclosure is also directed to a composite assembly comprising: a) a first part and a second part used for outdoor applications and comprising a thermoplastic or a thermosetting organic polymer; and b) a multilayer pressure sensitive adhesive foam tape as described in the present disclosure, wherein the first pressure sensitive adhesive layer is adhered to the first part, and the second pressure sensitive adhesive layer is adhered to the second part.

A building panel with a surface layer (1) including a wood veneer, a wood fibre based core (2) and a sub-layer (3) between the surface layer (1) and the core (2). The sub-layer (3) includes wood fibres (4) and a binder (5). The surface layer (1) has surface portions (6) including material from the sub-layer (3). The surface portions (6) including material from the sub-layer (3) extend into the wood veneer.

The present invention provides pre-applied contact adhesives that maintains strong cohesiveness over extended time and varied temperature conditions, while balancing low adhesiveness to other substrates. The pre-applied adhesives are applied onto paperboard, corrugated board, Kraft paper, paper, plastic film, glass, and are suitable as label, package, envelope, carton, case, box, label, bag, multilayer film, foil bag, bottle or band.

A multilayer film having enhanced toughness and optical properties is provided. The multilayer film includes a base layer, an outer layer, and a tie layer between the base layer and the outer layer. The multilayer film can also include additional layers. Methods for making such multilayer films are also provided. Multilayer films according to the present invention are particularly useful packaging applications where rupture resistance and high clarity are desirable.

A skin material includes: a design layer; and a base cloth layer. The design layer includes a surface layer and a foam layer. The base cloth layer includes a surface fabric and a back fabric, and a binding yarn that binds the surface fabric and the back fabric. The binding yarn is a thermoplastic resin fiber erected between the surface fabric and the back fabric to form a gap between the surface fabric and the back fabric. The foam layer and the surface fabric are joined. An interior material includes the skin material and a base material to which the skin material is attached. A method for producing the skin material includes joining the surface layer and the base cloth layer via a foamable adhesive to serve as the foam layer.

A curative for epoxidized plant-based oils and epoxidized natural rubber is created from the reaction between a naturally occurring polyfunctional acid and an epoxidized plant-based oil is disclosed. The curative may be used to produce porosity-free castable resins and vulcanize rubber formulations based on epoxidized natural rubber. Materials made from disclosed materials may be advantageously used as leather substitutes.

The invention features a hot melt adhesive composition based on olefin polymers that can be used for elastic attachment in the manufacture of a disposable article. The hot melt adhesive includes from about 3 to about 10% by weight of a first propylene-based copolymer having a melt index measured by ASTM D1238 (190 C., 2.16 kg) of no greater than about 5, a second propylene-based polymer with a viscosity at 190 C. of no greater than about 5000 cps, a first tackifying agent having a softening point of at least about 90 C. and from about 5% by weight to about 20% by weight of a plasticizer.

A curative for epoxidized plant-based oils and epoxidized natural rubber is created from the reaction between a naturally occurring polyfunctional acid and an epoxidized plant-based oil is disclosed. The curative may be used to produce porosity-free castable resins and vulcanize rubber formulations based on epoxidized natural rubber. Materials made from disclosed materials may be advantageously used as leather substitutes.

An adhesive member is disclosed. The adhesive member includes a first release element, a second release element and a body. The body includes a first adhesive surface and a second adhesive surface. The body also includes a first end face and a second end face. The first end face forms an acute angle with the first release element located on the body. The second end face faces the first end face and forms an obtuse angle with the second release element of the body.

The invention comprises a fire retardant board comprising a core formed from flute paper, wherein the flute paper is pre-impregnated with a flame retardant. The core is formed as a three dimensional body presenting a first face and a second face opposed to said first face and a wall structure which defines a plurality of channels intersecting the first face at an angle (a) which is 90 degrees or less than 90 degrees. The board further comprises a first liner attached to the first face and an adhesive arranged to fix the first liner to the first face of the core. The invention further comprises a method for manufacturing a fire retardant board comprising the steps of providing a core formed from flute paper, which is pre-impregnated with a flame retardant, applying an adhesive to the first face of the core, and laminating a first liner to the first face of the board.
