The object of the invention is a method of manufacturing a three-dimensionally shaped floor paneling, luggage compartment paneling or load floor paneling for motor vehicles, the carpet surface of which has a needled structure on the visible side, as well as the panelings themselves.

A three-dimensional interlayer composite carpet that can be washed without deformation is provided in the present invention, which includes a surface layer, a three-dimensional interlayer, and an anti-slip layer. The three-dimensional interlayer is composed of an upper knitted fabric layer, a lower knitted fabric layer, and a composite filament connecting layer arranged vertically in the middle and connecting the upper layer and the lower layer. The three-dimensional interlayer composite carpet adopting a composite filament connecting structure of the present invention has strong supporting force and high extensibility, and can be repeatedly folded for more than 1000 times. The washing shrinkage of 10 washings does not exceed 2%, and the composite carpet will not be deformed under long-term squeezing, heat, and moisture.

A carrier material includes at least a first thermoplastic fiber layer and a second thermoplastic fiber layer. At least a part of the first thermoplastic fiber layer and/or the second thermoplastic fiber layer at at least one boundary of the carrier material is removed, to provide a first part of a form-fit connection. The carrier material can be used in bituminous roofing membranes, roofing underlayment sheets, carriers for filter media, primary backings for tufted carpets and (cushion) vinyl floor coverings.

Multilayer thermoplastic films, and laminates and articles comprising the films, wherein the film comprises at least one inner layer and at least two outer layers, wherein the inner layer comprises a polymeric composition comprising from about 55% to about 95% of one or more non-hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers, olefinic block copolymers, or combinations thereo; and each outer layer comprises at least 20% polypropylene and has a thickness of from about 5% to about 15% of the total film thickness, and further wherein the film has a constant force tear propagation of about 20% or less.

A fabric print medium containing a fabric base substrate with a first and a second side; a polymeric barrier layer that is extruded, or a polymeric barrier layer with adhesion property that is laminated, on at least one side of the fabric base substrate; a primary coating composition that includes a polymeric binder and filler particles applied over a polymeric barrier layer; and an image-receiving coating composition that includes, at least, a first crosslinked polymeric network and a second crosslinked polymeric network, that is applied over the primary coating composition. Also disclosed are the method for making such fabric print medium and the method for producing printed images using said material.

A printable fabric can include a blockout fabric and from 1 gsm to 6 gsm of a discontinuous crosslinked polymer network on an outermost surface of the blockout fabric. The blockout fabric can include an inner fabric layer having a first side and a second side, wherein the inner fabric layer includes from 80 wt % to 100 wt % dark fibers; a first outer fabric layer attached to the first side and including from 80 wt % to 100 wt % light fibers; and a second outer fabric layer attached to the second side and including from 80 wt % to 100 wt % light fibers.

The present invention pertains to a method for manufacturing a laminated textile product comprising providing a first intermediate product comprising a primary backing having a front surface and a back surface, and yarns stitched into the primary backing, the yarns extending from the front surface of the backing material, feeding the intermediate product along a body having a heated surface, the back surface being pressed against the said heated surface, to at least partly melt the yarns present in the intermediate product to bond the yarns to the backing, wherein the part of the back surface that is pressed against the heated surface has a relative speed with respect to the heated surface, so as to provide a second intermediate product having a calendered back surface, providing a dimensionally stable carrier sheet or secondary backing, and connecting the second intermediate product to the carrier sheet by providing a hot melt adhesive between the calendered surface and the sheet, and pressing the sheet to the second intermediate product to form the textile product.

The present invention pertains to a method to produce a laminated textile product, the product comprising a primary carrier sheet with yarns that form a pile on the front surface thereof, and a secondary carrier sheet adhered to the back surface of the primary carrier sheet, the method comprising providing a lick roller having a mass of molten polymer adhesive at its outer circumference, transporting the primary carrier sheet along the lick roller while its back surface is in contact with the outer circumference of the roller at a contact site, thereby transferring a layer of adhesive to the back surface of the primary carrier sheet, and bringing the secondary sheet in contact with the layer of adhesive to adhere the secondary sheet to the back surface of the primary carrier sheet to produce the laminated textile product, wherein downstream of the contact site between the primary carrier sheet and the lick roller, before the secondary sheet is contacted with the layer of adhesive, cobwebbing of the adhesive between the primary carrier sheet and the lick roller is induced.

A dual-purpose concrete cover that includes a construction cover layer, a vapor retardant layer, and a wicking layer. An anti-snag scrim layer may be included under the wicking layer. One or more antimicrobial agents may be included in the wicking layer or other locations within the cover to prevent mold, mildew, bacterial and viral growth. While conventional concrete curing blankets often include a vapor barrier selected to keep the concrete surface wet well past the concrete curing period, the vapor retardant layer is designed to allow the dual-use cover to dry out at about the end of the concrete curing period so that the dual-use cover can remain in place as a construction cover after the curing period. The dual-purpose concrete cover is designed to fully dry prior to removal, which allows it to be reused, whereas conventional concrete curing blankets are typically discarded after a single use.

A system and method for producing a heat-sealable composite liquid impervious, moisture-eliminating membrane with a metallic antimicrobial surface treatment including a compatibilized thermoplastic laminate structure, an integral inductive-welding element, and a metallic antimicrobial surface treatment. The method is provided with at least one scrim, a film exudate, a quantity of primary adhesive, at least one susceptor, and a quantity of flocking material, wherein the scrim, film exudate, and flocking material are composed of a compatibilized thermoplastic compound. The method is further provided with an optional metallic slurry, defining a thermoplastic-particulate emulsion configured to coat and embed into a subjected membrane section and fibrous materials when exposed to heat. The method is further expanded to apply to extant installations of similar membrane sections, enabling to post-manufacture surface treatment of a surface with the metallic slurry to confer manifold antimicrobial benefits to said surface.
