Provided are wallboard panels that include a foam material layer and a core material, with one or more sheets of facer material and/or one or more sheets of backing material. The foam material layer may include one or more pores having an open pore geometry. Additionally, provided are methods of manufacturing such wallboard panels.

A method for attaching an underlay element to a weight-reduced board element. The method includes providing a board element and an underlay element, wherein a rear side of the board element includes a groove portion and a remaining portion. The groove portion includes at least one groove. An adhesive is applied on at least a portion of the remaining portion and/or on at least a portion of a corresponding residual portion of the underlay element, and the underlay element is arranged on the rear side of the board element, such that the adhesive contacts the underlay element and the rear side.

An electroluminescent light source included as a sheet-like structure as part of headliner in a vehicle. The electroluminescent light source is arranged under an outer layer of fabric, as well as under a layer of foam and a layer of nonwoven textile material. The electroluminescent light source lacks a dedicated housing for containing the electroluminescent light source, which allows for the headliner to maintain a flat and uniform surface that is undisturbed by the inclusion of the electroluminescent light source. When the electroluminescent light source is activated, the emitted light has sufficient brightness to shine through the various layers of the headliner to illuminate the interior of the vehicle.

Composite door systems that are configured for providing safety, security, and resistance to physical impacts or threats (natural and man-caused), and which can be utilized in barrier structures, such as for doors. The composite door systems may include one or more layers, each of which may have one or more fiber layers, such as fabric layers or plastic layers. The composite door systems may further include one or more additional layers of a sheet material, a fill material, or the like. The composite door systems are infinitely customizable and configured to be adapted to a variety of applications, and scalable levels of protection.

An acoustic door assembly having 1 thickness, a sound transmission class (STC) rating greater than 50, UL10C 20-minute fire rating, and constructed without sheet metal or lead. In an embodiment, the door assembly includes a frame housing a decoupled internal core sandwiched between two mass-loaded vinyl outer faces. The internal core includes a multi-layering of low-density layers for absorbing high-frequency noise, damping layers of mass-loaded vinyl for absorbing low-frequency noise, and a flame-retardant layer. The outer faces are a multi-layered assembly coupled to a frame of the door assembly and in contact communication to the internal core, the outer faces having layers of mass-loaded vinyl, plywood, high-density fiberboard, and a veneer.

The present disclosure provides a composite material including a first thermoplastic adhesive layer made of a first thermoplastic resin, a second thermoplastic adhesive layer made of a second thermoplastic resin, and a core layer. The core layer has a first surface and a second surface, wherein the first surface is bonded to the first thermoplastic adhesive layer, and the second surface is bonded to the second thermoplastic adhesive layer. The core layer has a plurality of cavities, wherein each of the plurality of cavities has a pore diameter smaller than a thickness of the core layer. The first thermoplastic resin and the second thermoplastic resin are respectively adapted to be filled in a part of the plurality of cavities adjacent to the first surface of the core layer and a part of the plurality of cavities adjacent to the second surface of the core layer by heating.

The present invention relates to a coating composition for the production of a coated substrate and, in particular, for the production of a coated wall, floor and ceiling covering.

A thermally insulated panel includes a first skin, a second skin spaced apart from the first skin, and a core that is disposed between and bonded to the first skin and the second skin such that the core transfers loads between the first skin and the second skin. The core includes a porous filler material that has a vacuum drawn therein such that the core resists transfer of thermal energy through the panel. A cargo container including thermally insulated panels and a method of manufacturing the thermally insulated panels are also disclosed. In addition, a method of repairing a vacuum insulated panel is disclosed.

The invention relates to composite floorings, more particularly to a soundproof composite flooring of magnesium sulfate and solid wood. The soundproof composite flooring includes a paint layer, a solid wood layer, a magnesium sulfate substrate layer, and a soundproof layer which are sequentially arranged from top to bottom; the solid wood layer and the magnesium sulfate substrate layer are bonded via AB glue by cold pressing or via a hot-melt adhesive; a plurality of cylindrical holes are arranged along edges of an upper surface of the magnesium sulfate substrate layer, and a buffer structure is arranged in each of the cylindrical holes; the buffer structure includes a rubber base which fits a bottom of the cylindrical holes, and a support disk which is opposite to the solid wood layer. The rubber base and the support disk are connected by a rubber column.
