A method for producing an elastomeric skin having visually spotted appearance may include providing a liquid skin forming composition having solid spot forming particles having a longest dimension that is at least 40 μm and spraying the liquid skin forming composition in the form of a spray of droplets onto a mold surface. The provision of solid spot forming particles that are comparable in size to the droplet size may aid in projecting the solid spot forming particles forward upon impact on the mold surface such that a percentage thereof appear visible on the front face of the elastomeric skin after demolding thereby resulting in a front face with a spotted appearance without having to use multiple liquid skin forming compositions.

Process for manufacturing a densified polymer powder comprising compressing a polymer feed that has a bulk density of less than or equal to 240 kg/m in a roll compactor comprising at least two compaction rolls to obtain a densified polymer material, wherein a gap between the two rolls is 0.5 to 10 mm, wherein the compaction rolls operate at a speed of 3 to 30 rpm, wherein an applied pressure of the roll compactor is 0.5 to 5 MPa, and milling the densified polymer material to obtain a densified polymer powder, wherein a bulk density of the densified polymer powder is greater than or equal to 250 kg/m3.

A three-dimensional object may be generated. First and second agent distributors may be to respectively selectively deliver a binder agent and a coalescing agent onto portions of a layer of build material. A controller may be to control the first and second agent distributors to respectively selectively deliver the binder agent and the coalescing agent onto respective first and second portions of the layer in patterns derived from data representing a slice of the three-dimensional object to be generated. The first portion having the binder agent may be to bind and solidify into a binder matrix. When energy is applied to the layer the second portion having the second agent may be to coalesce and solidify.

A foaming and dyeing integrated production method for a polymer material product includes steps of putting a polymer material preform into a foaming and dyeing kettle, and loading dye into a dyeing circulation module; gasifying CO.sub.2 and injecting the CO.sub.2 into the foaming and dyeing kettle, stopping pressurization when the CO.sub.2 reaches a supercritical state; performing a dyeing circulation process in which the CO.sub.2 in the supercritical state enters the dyeing circulation module and dissolves the dye in the dyeing circulation module, when the dyeing process is finished, injecting CO.sub.2 and/or N.sub.2 pressurized in the fluid pressurization delivery module and heated in the fluid heating module into the foaming and dyeing kettle, stopping pressurization and starting foaming operation when requirements of a foaming process are met; and when the foaming process is finished, taking out a foamed and dyed polymer material product in the foaming and dyeing kettle.

The present invention relates to a shape forming apparatus and a control method for the shape forming apparatus, wherein the shape forming apparatus may comprise a plurality of spray units which evenly spray forming materials having different colors from one another; and a shape forming unit in which a shape is formed from the evenly-sprayed forming materials having different colors from one another.

A preform for an integrally blow-moulded bag-in-container uses an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the preform forms a two-layer container upon blow-moulding, and wherein the obtained inner layer of the container releases from the thus obtained outer layer upon introduction of a gas at a point of interface between the two layers. At least one of the inner and outer layers includes at least one additive allowing both inner and outer layers to reach their respective blow-moulding temperatures substantially simultaneously.

The present invention provides, medical rubber parts that do not physically and chemically affect the quality of preparations. The present invention relates to a medical rubber part obtained by press-molding an unvulcanized rubber mainly containing a rubber for forming a liquid-contacting portion and an unvulcanized rubber mainly containing a butyl-based rubber for forming a non-liquid-contacting portion, wherein a color difference dE between the liquid-contacting portion and the non-liquid-contacting portion is 6.0 or more in NBS units.

The invention relates to a process for extracting polyester from packaging. In particular, the invention relates to packaging comprising one or more dyes such as black packaging. The claim process uses a two stage extraction process to convert waste polyester in clean, reusable polyester.

The invention relates to a process for extracting polyester from fabric. In particular, fabric comprising polyester and one or more dyes. The claimed process uses a multistage mechanism to separate dyes from polyester containing garments and reconstitute the polyester.

A multi-layer direct blow bottle in which a metallic layer containing a metal pigment having an average thickness of not more than 1 μm dispersed in a resin is formed at a position where it is visible from the outer surface side.

Injection molded parts with a small dimension that exhibit high heat resistance are described. Thermoplastic compositions that can be utilized to form the injection molded parts are described. The thermoplastic composition includes a polyarylene sulfide and a crosslinked impact modifier. The thermoplastic composition can also include siloxane polymers, thermoplastic elastomers, or other additives that can further improve the characteristics of the injection molded parts.
