A method of fabrication of a laminated glazing unit, includes cutting out a first through-hole in a first glass sheet; positioning a conducting wire and a film of thermoplastic polymer between the first glass sheet and a second glass sheet so that a first extremity and a second extremity of the conducting wire extend outside the laminated glazing unit to be formed, and feeding out the first extremity of the conducting wire via the first through-hole so that the first extremity exits the laminated glazing unit to be formed via the first through-hole, the conducting wire extending continuously from the first extremity to the second extremity, and after the positioning and feeding out, assembling the conducting wire, the film of thermoplastic polymer, the first glass sheet and the second glass sheet all together to form the laminated glazing.

The present disclosure relates to a method for providing a film. The method may include providing a base layer that is one or more of water resistant or oxygen resistant, coextruding a layer that may include a tie layer and a contact layer to provide a coextrusion layer, coating the coextrusion layer to the base layer, and allowing the coextrusion layer coated to the base layer to adhere to provide the film that may include the tie layer and the contact layer formed as a coextrusion layer coated to the base layer, wherein the tie layer may include at least one layer; and wherein the contact layer may include a polymer having a RED value based on a Hansen's Solubility parameter (HSP) towards an aggressive chemical of greater than 0.8.

The present invention relates to a pig for use in a system for lining ducts such as water or sewage pipes or electrical ducts or gas pipes. The pig is insertable at least partly within a fabric liner sleeve located in a duct such as a water or sewage pipe and is capable of heating the liner sleeve in situ in the duct to melt or soften thermoplastic material of the liner sleeve to subsequently form, on cooling of the melted thermoplastic material, a rigid liner in the duct. A pig for fitting a liner to the inside of a pipe, comprising a pig body defining a longitudinal axis in a longitudinal direction from a front portion to a rear portion; a gas supply port in the front portion; a gas outlet diffuser forming part of the rear portion; a heating chamber in the pig body forming a flow path from the fluid inlet to the outlet diffuser; and a heater within the heating chamber, wherein the outlet diffuser comprises a plurality of channels, each channel comprising an inlet facing the front portion in the longitudinal direction and an outlet extending radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis.

A fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminate is disclosed that comprises continuous reinforcing fiber. The laminate is custom designed and fabricated to be molded into a specific article of manufacture. The laminate comprises a plurality of thermoplastic patches that are disjoint and some of which partially overlap.

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 decor 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.

The present disclosure relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive assembly suitable for bonding to a substrate provided with an uneven surface, wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive assembly comprises a polymeric foam layer comprising a polymeric base material and a particulate filler material comprising a thermoplastic material, and wherein the polymeric foam layer has a complex viscosity comprised between 2,000 Pa.Math.s to 80,000 Pa.Math.s, when measured at 120 C according to the test method described in the experimental section. The present disclosure is also directed to a method of applying a pressure sensitive adhesive assembly to a substrate provided with an uneven surface, and uses thereof.

A panel for forming a floor covering, where this panel includes a substrate including at least a layer of thermoplastic material, where the panel, above the layer, comprises 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 within the layer of thermoplastic material.

A method of producing a roll-shaped body comprises: obtaining an adhesive agent sheet having an embossed shape at both surfaces thereof by imparting an embossed shape on both surfaces of an adhesive agent sheet containing a thermoplastic resin as a main component; overlapping a protective sheet having releasability from the adhesive agent sheet to at least one surface of the adhesive agent sheet having the embossed shape at both surfaces thereof; and obtaining the roll-shaped body by wounding the adhesive agent sheet having the embossed shape at both surfaces thereof and the protective sheet that are overlapped facing one another.

The present invention refers to a process for bonding flexible films by converting the surface of a first film into a softened state before contacting the softened surface with a second film, a device for carrying out the inventive process as well as a composite body obtained by the inventive process or by the inventive device.

A method of providing a covering element with a connection element for covering a hinge part of a roof window comprising the steps of engraving an interior surface of the covering element to provide an engraved surface with at least one cavity by subjecting the covering element to a laser beam at a polar angle, α1, and attaching the connection element to the covering element by introducing an anchor portion of the connection element into the least one cavity.
