A physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structure comprising at least one polypropylene/polyethylene coextruded foam layer is obtained. The multilayer foam structure is obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.

A container includes a container closure and a multi-layer side wall coupled to the container closure. A method includes forming the container with the multi-layer side wall. The multi-layer sidewall includes a film layer and a foamed layer coupled to the film layer to provide the multi-layer sidewall.

A faceblank (5) for a respiratory protective device or face mask hygiene product (1), where the shape of the faceblank (5) defines a number of filter openings (2, 3, 4) and which further comprises a head harness (6) or fastening for a head harness (6) and is characterised in that the filter openings (2, 3, 4) have been implemented to comprise a tongue (7), most advantageously so that the edge of each opening (2, 3, 4) is composed of a tongue. The faceblank is used with a number of replaceable filters (10) adapted in the filter openings (2, 3, 4) of the faceblank (5), each filter (10) comprising a filter part (11) and a frame (12) that encircles the filter part (11), in which frame (12) the outer edge has been implemented to comprise a groove (13)most advantageously so that the outer edge of each frame (12) consists of a groove (13)so that the filters (10) are fastenable to the filter openings (2, 3, 4) of the faceblank (5) by means of a tongue-and-groove connection, in which case the tongue (7) and groove (13) form an air-tight tongue-and-groove connection. Further independent claims directed to filters and methods for the manufacture of reinforced textile part, nonwoven fabric part or their combination part.

A method of manufacturing a composite part comprising a core and at least one skin region formed of a low friction UHMWPE skin polymer attached thereto, by: a) providing a mold with a heatable mold cavity; b) loading into the mold cavity UHMWPE powder followed by a core element having a surface with at least one contacting region provided with a plurality of anchoring sites, loading onto the core element, a layer of UHMWPE in powder form adjacent the contacting region, and applying a heat pressing step to melt the skin polymer powder to form a molten skin polymer matrix, and cooling to solidify the skin polymer matrix forming a skin region mechanically engaged into anchoring sites of the core element.

A foam part for a vehicle seat having a textile layer and a foam body made from a polyurethane foam. The textile layer may be designed as a three-dimensionally formed non-woven layer. The non-woven layer may have a grammage of 800 to 1200 grams per square meter. A method for producing the foam part and for providing the vehicle seat having at least one foam part are described.

A polymer composite pipe having a longitudinal axis is provided, having a polymer composite internal layer and a polymer composite pipe body disposed around and bonded to an exterior surface of the polymer composite internal layer. The polymer composite internal layer is either in the form of an annular cylinder, or in the form of a broken annular cylinder. The polymer composite pipe body includes at least one ply of wound polymer composite tape. A polymer composite is a material including polymer fibres embedded in a polymer matrix. A stratum of metal foil is embedded in the polymer composite internal layer and/or a stratum of metal foil is embedded in the polymer composite tape forming the ply or a ply of wound polymer composite tape. A method of manufacturing such a polymer composite pipe is also described.
