A protective cover for a pole that is typically oriented vertically with a top surface at a top end of the pole and an outer surface that extends down from an outer perimeter of the top surface is provided. The protective cover has a flexible substrate with a central section that engages the top surface of the pole and an outer section that engages the outer surface of the pole. A preservative agent is carried on the central section of the flexible substrate such that the preservative agent engages the top surface of the pole when the cover is installed.

A security sticker in which a plurality of layers including a printed layer are stacked includes an anti-slip elastomer layer provided above or below the printed layer. The elastomer layer is formed on an entire surface of the printed layer and has a sheet shape having a predetermined thickness and a lateral surface length. Even when an external force pushes or pulls an upper surface of the security sticker in any direction, a bottom surface of the security sticker is provided to be deformed or elongated in a direction in which the external force is applied while the security sticker is attached to an original attachment position and to return to an original shape due to a restoring force when the external force is removed. The elastomer layer is formed of a material having an elongation of 150% or more compared to the lateral surface length or the thickness.

Disclosed are multilayer films with high toughness performance, where the films have an elastic ethylene copolymer in the core layer.

The present disclosure generally relates to non-conformable thermoplastic pavement marking tapes comprising a backing and an adhesive layer adjacent to the backing. In some embodiments, the backing includes an ionic copolymer. In other embodiments, the non-conformable backing has an inelastic deformation of less than 10% at 25 C. In some embodiments, the pavement marking tape is heat-moldable.

A curative for epoxidized plant-based oils and epoxidized natural rubber is created from the reaction between a naturally occurring polyfunctional acid and an epoxidized plant-based oil is disclosed. The curative may be used to produce porosity-free castable resins and vulcanize rubber formulations based on epoxidized natural rubber. Materials made from disclosed materials may be advantageously used as leather substitutes.

New ethylene polymers having low levels of long chain branching are disclosed. Films and film layers made form these polymers have good hot tack strength over a wide range of temperatures, making them good materials for packaging applications.

Certain embodiments described herein are directed to electronic device screen covers that include one more bioactive materials. In some embodiments, the electronic device screen covers can be used with capacitive touch screens on electronic devices such as cellular phones, tablets, laptops, kiosk displays or other electronic devices that include screens. Methods of using the screen covers and screens to reduce spread of infections are also described.

The invention relates to a high pressure laminate panel having a surface layer on at least one panel surface, which has as the outermost layer a polymer coating with a polyurethane(meth)acrylate polymer, and which is characterized by excellent scratch resistance and resistance to weathering. Furthermore, a method for the production of polyurethane(meth)acrylate-coated high pressure laminate panels is provided.
