A laminated transaction card may comprise post-consumer polyethylene with a thickness of at least 30% of a thickness of the laminated transaction card. A first polymer- based layer comprising polyvinyl chloride is coupled to a first surface of the core layer by a first adhesive layer. A second polymer-based layer comprising polyvinyl chloride is coupled to a second surface of the core layer by a second adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer comprise an adhesive formulated to bond the post-consumer polyethylene and the polymer-based layers.

The present disclosure relates to artificial leather. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to biodegradable and odorless artificial leather including coffee grounds. A composition for artificial leather includes a first resin, a first plasticizer, and a masterbatch including a second resin, a second plasticizer, and coffee grounds. The artificial leather includes a sheet layer including the composition disclosed herein.

When forming layer stacks in the presence of solder material, uncontrolled flow of the solder material at the interface of two different layers of the layer stack may significantly be mitigated by providing an area of increased pressure in the material of the overlaying foil layer. For example, the area of increased pressure may be generated during the lamination process by providing a pressure inducing structure, for instance on the underlying foil layer, which laterally surrounds the solder material and therefore, in combination with the material of the overlying foil layer, reliably confines the solder material.

A panel for forming a floor covering has a substrate including at least a layer of thermoplastic material, where the panel, above the layer, has at least also a printed décor and a translucent or transparent wear layer. The layer also includes at least individual fibers having a length greater than 1 millimeter, where the individual fibers are loose and freely distributed with the layer of thermoplastic material.

A method for manufacturing a floor panel having a substrate and a top layer. The top layer may have a decorative layer that includes a digital print and a transparent or translucent wear layer. The method may involve providing the substrate with the digital print by jetting one or more inks from a set of inks using a digital inkjet printer. The ink may include a binding agent and/or a primer or adhesion layer may be provided between the digital print and the transparent or translucent wear layer. The digital print may be performed directly on the substrate. The transparent or translucent wear layer may be laminated on top of the printed substrate.

An optical security feature comprising a visually deformable layer disposed between two polymer layers, which are fused together by heating, thereby yielding an embossed appearance to the visually deformable layer.

The present invention relates to a flooring material including: a base material layer as a stone plastic composite (SPC) core; a color film layer formed on top of the base material layer to provide a given color and pattern; a wear layer formed on top of the color film layer to provide a corrosion resistance; a UV resistant layer formed on top of the wear layer to provide surface protection; and a pad layer formed on the underside of the base material layer to provide shock absorption and sound absorption.

A laminated pane includes first and second panes, a layer stack arranged therebetween including a first thermoplastic intermediate layer, a separating layer, a photopolymer layer with at least one holographic element, a carrier layer, and a second thermoplastic intermediate layer, wherein the photopolymer layer has a thickness of 5 μm to 50 μm, the carrier layer contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and/or cellulose triacetate (TAC) and has a thickness of 20 μm to 100 μm, wherein the carrier layer is arranged directly adjacent the photopolymer layer, and the separating layer contains polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and/or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and has a thickness of 10 μm to 300 μm.
