A laminated composition shingle includes a first sheet having a first mineral granule surface and a first rectangular shape without tab cut-outs laminated with a second sheet having a second mineral granule surface. The second sheet has tab cut-outs along only one longer edge of the second sheet. The laminated composition shingle has a shingle width and an exposure width perpendicular to the long edges and a first width that is twice the exposure width. The shingle width is the first width plus 2 inches (51 mm). The tab cut-outs have a tab width in the direction of the shingle width less than the exposure width minus ⅛ of an inch (3 mm).

Moulded three-dimensional noise attenuating trim part for a vehicle, comprising at least a three layer system consisting of a first porous fibrous layer and a second porous fibrous layer and an air permeable intermediate film layer situated between the first and second porous fibrous layers and wherein the adjacent surfaces within the three layer system are interconnected, wherein the second porous fibrous layer has an area weight AW2 that is varying over the surface and wherein at least for areas of the three layer system with a total thickness t between 5 and 35 mm, the area weight AW2 relates to the total thickness t of the three layer system as following 25*t+175<AW2<45*t+475 wherein t is in mm and AW2 is in g.Math.m−2 and wherein the area weight AW2 of the second porous fibrous layer is increasing with increasing total thickness t of the three layer system.

An absorbent article can have a topsheet layer, a liquid impermeable layer, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet layer and the liquid impermeable layer. The absorbent article can further include an exudate management layer in fluid communication with the topsheet layer. In various embodiments, the exudate management layer can be positioned on a body facing surface of the topsheet layer. In various embodiments, the exudate management layer can be positioned between the topsheet layer and the absorbent core. The exudate management layer has a first component which defines an opening for direct passage of body exudates into the absorbent core. The exudate management layer has a second component which at least partially overlaps the first component of the exudate management layer and further extends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article in a direction towards the posterior region of the absorbent article.

The present disclosure relates to films having at least a first profiled layer and a second layer having an inverse profile of the first layer. Those films can be used as protection tapes for various surfaces. Exemplary uses of the films of the present disclosure include leading edge protection tapes for rotor blades.
