A polyester pressure-sensitive adhesive composition is provided including a polyester resin having a predetermined amount of a structural unit derived from a hydrogenated polybutadiene structure-containing compound, or a polyester resin having a structural unit derived from a hydrogenated polybutadiene structure-containing compound and a predetermined amount of a structural unit derived from an aromatic ring structure-containing compound. The polyester pressure-sensitive adhesive composition has superior adhesion to a polyolefin base material and is highly transparency.

A biodegradable cellulose fiber-based substrate, at least one side of which is coated with a release coating including: a) at least one water-soluble polymer (WSP) containing hydroxyl groups, and b) at least one lactone substituted with at least one linear or branched and/or cyclic C.sub.8-C.sub.30 hydrocarbon chain which may contain heteroatoms. The biodegradable substrate is certified biodegradable in accordance with EN 13432. A method of production thereof is also disclosed.

The present invention is directed to a packaging material, more specifically a packaging material having gas and/or moisture barrier properties, wherein the material comprises a barrier material comprising a layer comprising at least 50% of a zinc ionomer, a layer of polyethylene and a layer that forms a gas barrier. The invention is also directed to packaging products using said barrier material. Such products are in particular packages suitable for cosmetics and personal care products.

An insulated panel assembly having improved insulative R-value. The insulated panel assembly comprises a cover panel, a first insulation layer, and at least one additional insulation layer, wherein the at least one additional insulation layer has a higher R-value than the first insulation layer. The first insulation layer is secured to the cover panel. The first insulation layer further forms at least one recessed portion. The at least one additional insulation layer is positioned in the at least one recessed portion of the first insulation layer. Examples of the at least one additional insulation layer may include vacuum insulated panels and modified atmosphere insulation panels.

Described herein are resilient floor coverings produced by using digitally printed UV-cured inks and exhibiting high adhesion properties between an ink layer and a wear layer. Also described herein are methods for manufacturing same. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a decorative panel, comprising a core layer provided with a decor layer, said décor layer comprising a substrate layer provided with at least one coating, wherein within said decorative panel at least one induction coil is located. The present invention furthermore relates to the use of such a decorative panel in indoor and/or outdoor furniture and in interior and/or exterior decoration.

Provided is a curable silicone composition for a release agent which can release a release film from a silicone adhesive with low release force without reducing the adhesive strength of the silicone adhesive to other substrates upon releasing the release film. A release film or laminate having the small release force of the silicone adhesive is also provided. The curable silicone composition comprises: (A) a mixture of two or more fluoroalkyl group-containing organopolysiloxanes having a fluoroalkyl group and at least two alkenyl groups per molecule, wherein the contents of the fluoroalkyl groups differ from each other, and the two or more fluoroalkyl group-containing organopolysiloxanes are a combination of those which are not completely compatibilized at 25° C. when mixed in the absence of a solvent; (B) an organopolysiloxane having at least three silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms per molecule; (C) an effective amount of a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst; and (D) an organic solvent.

A system and method for producing a board product made from paper products that have a pre-scored facing in addition to a medium (sometimes called fluting). Conventional corrugated board may feature a cross-corrugated medium and one or more facing that have no score lines that are imprinted (at least prior to assembly with the corrugated medium). Such a conventional board product may be inferior because any score lines that are imprinted will damage the underlying corrugated medium in some manner. A breakdown in the strength of the underlying medium leads to poor precision when the eventual board product is scored, cut, and bent. A lack of precision in folding a board product is known as fishtailing as any articulated portion of the board product may not maintain a precise plane of articulation when bent. Hence, the articulated portion “fishtails” out of alignment. Having precisely located impression lines in register to underlying flutes of a medium ensures correct and precise articulation.
