Disclosed herein is an improved cover board product with a panel comprising a top surface layer comprised of paper or a fiberglass web; a bottom surface layer comprised of paper, a fiberglass web, nylon film, polyester film, polypropene film, or textiles; and a core layer comprised of paper and thermoplastic fragments connected by a thermoplastic bonding resin. The thermoplastic bonding resin is in a random pattern to less than 100% of the paper and thermoplastic fragment surface area.

Provided is a polyethylene laminate, which has high recyclability, is excellent in physical characteristics, such as rigidity, strength, and impact resistance, and is excellent in heat-sealing property. The heat-sealing polyethylene laminate of the present invention includes: a stretched film of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-based resin (A) having a viscosity-average molecular weight of from 300,000 to 15,000,000; and a low molecular weight ethylene-based resin layer, which is arranged on at least one side of the stretched film of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-based resin (A) and includes an ethylene-based resin.

The invention relates to method for producing an artificial turf, comprising the following steps: providing a carrier material having a top and a bottom, providing a plurality of fibres, wherein each fibre comprises two ends extending from the top of the carrier material and comprising a connected region arranged in a loop-like manner at the bottom of the carrier material; feeding the carrier material with the fibres to a heated rotating calender roller; guiding the carrier material with the fibres over at least one sub-region of the surface of the heated rotating calender roller, wherein the connected regions of the fibres and the bottom of the carrier material face the calender roller; during the guiding of the carrier material with the fibres over the at least one sub-region of the surface of the heated rotating calender roller: transferring heat from the heated rotating calender roller to the carrier material with the fibres, and fusing the connected regions of the fibres with the bottom of the carrier material to the artificial turf, and removing and cooling the artificial turf. The invention further relates to an artificial turf comprising: a carrier material having a top and a bottom; a plurality of fibres, wherein each fibre comprises two ends extending from the top of the carrier material and comprising a connected region arranged in a loop-like manner at the bottom of the carrier material, wherein the carrier material is fused at the bottom to the connected regions of the fibres.

A laminated surface covering including a facing material made of vinyl and a backing material comprising a rubber component. The rubber component comprising at least a matrix of bonded rubber granules. A bonding material disposed between the facing material and the backing material. The facing material configured to melt at a temperature between 165° F. and 248° F. infiltrating the backing material thereby essentially encasing the rubber granules of the matrix and providing fire retardation and smoke suppression qualities.

A first plastic recyclate is used for a tube of a land vehicle, in particular of a road vehicle. The tube comprises a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer abut against each other. The first layer has the first plastic recyclate, wherein the second layer comprises a first virgin plastic. The first plastic recyclate and the first virgin plastic belong to the same plastic species, for example to the plastic species of polyamides or the plastic species of polyolefins.

A coated cathode active material particle comprises a cathode active material particle and a coating layer derived from one or more phosphorus-containing compounds that surrounds the cathode active material particle. By coating of the cathode active material with the phosphorus-containing compound, degradation of the cathode active material due to reaction with water can be suppressed. As a result, the coated cathode active material can be successfully used in a water-based electrode slurry. A water-based electrode slurry comprising the coated cathode active material is also disclosed, and batteries comprising electrodes made using the water-based electrode slurry were found to have improved electrochemical performance.

A panel, in particular a floor, ceiling, or wall panel, of a planar design having a top side and bottom side, and multiple side edges, which panel has a structure of laminated layers that are adhered to each other, wherein the laminated layers extend parallel to the plane of the panel, and include a core layer having a lower side and an upper side, and a top layer which is provided on the upper side of the core layer either directly or indirectly, wherein at least two layers of the laminated structure, in particular the top layer and the core layer, are directly or indirectly adhered to each other.

The present disclosure relates to thermoplastics film, multi-film structures, and bags including enhanced physical properties. For example, one or more implementations include tailoring the physical properties of thermoplastic films by forming ribs using ring rolling in the films that extend at an angle relative to a direction in which the film is extruded (e.g., the machine direction). In other words, one or more implementations include films with a pattern of ribs extending at an acute angle to the predominate direction of molecular orientation of the thermoplastic film. The angled ribs increase the machine direction tear resistance of the thermoplastic film by intersecting any machine direction propagating tears and redirecting the tears towards the higher tear resistant transverse direction.
