The invention includes a method of providing an intermediary layer in a laminated structure, between two adjacent layers, where the intermediary layer contains a fiber having an extrusion coating. The intermediary layer may form a textile constructed from the fibers, the intermediary layer, when the lamination method proceeds, provides the adhesion between the adjacent layers, as well as reinforcement for the laminated structure.

The process includes: A) feeding the propylene-based polymer to the first inlet and discharging the first melt composition from the first outlet, wherein the first screw is operated at a first screw speed and B) feeding the first melt composition to the second inlet and feeding the further component to the side inlet and discharging the second melt composition from the second outlet, wherein the second screw is operated at a second screw speed smaller than the first screw speed.

An improved hook for cable management during maintenance, turnarounds, construction works and industrial works. An improved hook of an injection molded glass-fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin for suspending cables or hose pipes. The hooks are capable of safely bearing high loads in the range of 30 to 400 kg. Methods for providing the present improved hooks, specifically hooks for suspending cables and hoses, where the hooks are comprised of 45 to 800 grams of an injection molded composition comprised of a polybutylene terephthalate resin, 18% to 22% per total weight of the composition glass-fiber, one or more flame retardants and one or more UV stabilizers; and the hooks have a maximum load bearing of 0.3 to 0.8 kg per gram composition.

To provide a polyamide resin composition that contains a halogen-containing flame retardant, which excels in flame retardance, well suppressed from degrading the transmittance due to darkening, and such molded article. The polyamide resin composition contains a polyamide resin, 1 to 10% by mass of a halogen-containing flame retardant, and 1 to 5% by mass of antimony oxide, the polyamide resin composition having a phosphorus atom concentration of 1.5010.sup.2% by mass or less.

To provide a resin composition having large light transmittance and capable of providing a molded article which is highly laser-weldable to an absorbing resin member, as well as a kit, a method for manufacturing the resin composition, a method for manufacturing a formed article, and a formed article. The resin composition contains a polyamide resin, a maleic anhydride-modified polyphenylene ether-based resin, a phosphazene-based flame retardant, a zinc metal oxide, and a light transmitting dye.

The present invention relates to blow molded multilayer hollow articles and a coextrusion blow molding process for the production of said multilayer hollow articles, made of thermoplastic polymers and characterized by a specific visual effect. More in particular, the present invention relates to multilayer hollow articles and a coextrusion blow molding process for the production of said multilayer hollow articles, wherein at least one layer is a continuous layer with a uniform degree of thickness and at least one layer is a discontinuous or a non-uniform continuous layer with varying degree of thickness, which results in a specific surface pattern and/or visual color effect.

A method of forming a reusable, non-adhesive protective cover is disclosed which includes extruding first and second layers of a thermoplastic film onto a rotatable cast roll. The first layer has an interior surface and an exterior surface. The second layer is extruded onto the interior surface of the first layer to form a co-extruded laminate. The second layer has an exterior surface exhibiting attachment and release capabilities such that a joint tape can be used to join adjacent sheets of the protective cover together. The co-extruded laminate is then advanced between a nip formed by an embossing roll and a rubber roll whereby the exterior surface of the first layer contacts the embossing roll to form a co-extruded embossed laminate. Lastly, the co-extruded embossed laminate is passed around at least a portion of a chill roll to cool the laminate and form the reusable, co-extruded embossed non-adhesive protective cover.

The invention relates to the co-use of a) a certain type of silica and b) a certain type of graphite, wherein the silica and the graphite are used in a weight ratio in a range of from 1:1 to 1:10, for decreasing the thermal conductivity of vinyl aromatic polymer foam.

Provided are resin foam particles that enable shaping of a sound absorbing member having excellent sound absorption performance through a resin foam shaped product. Also provided is a laminate that includes a resin foam shaped product as a base material and with which high sound absorption performance can be obtained even when the laminate is a thin material. The resin foam particles contain a resin and have a recessed external part. A ratio .sub.0/.sub.1 of density of the resin .sub.0 and true density .sub.1 of the resin foam particles is 2 to 20, and a ratio .sub.1/.sub.2 of true density .sub.1 of the resin foam particles and bulk density .sub.2 of the resin foam particles is 1.5 to 4.0.
