A method of manufacturing a hydrocarbon absorbent structure comprises providing a lower sheet of material and dispensing a hydrocarbon absorbent polymer mixture thereon. The polymer mixture is then preheated so as to at least partially melt the polymer mixture. An upper sheet of material is then provided onto the at least partially melted polymer mixture on the lower sheet of material. The lower sheet of material, polymer mixture and upper sheet of material are then laminated together to form a hydrocarbon absorbent laminate structure.

In an embodiment, an adhesive sheet has an expandable adhesive layer 2 on one side or both sides of a base 1, wherein the expandable adhesive layer 2 contains an epoxy resin including a polyfunctional epoxy resin, a phenol resin as a curing agent, an imidazole-based compound as a curing catalyst, and a temperature-sensitive foaming agent. The adhesive sheet has properties in good balance, such as fast curability, heat resistance, and adhesiveness, and also excellent properties such as thermal conductivity attributed to a good filling property.

The present invention relates to a dehumidification bag and a preparation method thereof. The dehumidification bag comprises a bag body including a first side sheet and a second side sheet, the side sheet comprises an air-permeability and/or a composite film, wherein at least all or part of at least one side sheet is an air-permeability film; a moisture-proof layer covers the outside of the air-permeability. The dehumidification bag provided by the present invention provides an air-permeability on the bag body, and adopts heat sealing between the outer surface of the air-permeability layer and the moisture-proof layer, so that the air-permeability and the moisture-proof layer are in close contact without moisture absorption, which effectively prevents damage during transportation and storage. In the process, the air-permeability is in contact with the air in the outer bag and the effect of the dehumidifier becomes poor or invalid; by setting the moisture-proof layer to be tearable, when the buyer uses the dehumidification bag, the moisture-proof layer can be torn off, which is convenient and fast.

A lamination process is disclosed. The process is useful for silicone based lamination adhesive compositions, in particular those which cure at or around room temperature.

Apparatus and methods are described including adhering a first lens to a second lens such as to form a combined lens having a given optical design, by placing the first lens and the second lens in respective first and second pressure chambers with an adhesive layer disposed between the first lens and the second lens, bringing a convex surface of the first lens into contact with the adhesive layer, and bringing a concave surface of the second lens into contact with the adhesive layer. Other applications are also described.

Apparatus, compositions, and systems for ultraviolet (UV) heat-activated laminating adhesives applied via an inkjet printing process are disclosed. A system includes a first inkjet mechanism configured to deposit ink in a particular pattern onto a surface of a rigid medium. A second inkjet mechanism is configured to deposit a laminating adhesive onto the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium. A pair of stainless steel plates is configured to receive an overlay film layer and the laminating adhesive deposited onto the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium. The overlay film layer is positioned such that a surface of the overlay film layer faces the laminating adhesive. Pressure and heat are applied to the overlay film layer and the laminating adhesive to laminate the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium.

A shower pan and method of manufacture are described. Embodiments of the shower pan can include, but are not limited to, a solid surface top layer and a PET second layer that can be thermoformed, molded, and laminated in a single step. The solid surface top layer can be approximately ⅛″ to ¼″ thick and the PET second layer can be approximately ⅞″ to 1⅛″ thick. The shower pan may further include a third layer being fiberglass.

A method for heat-setting and laminating a 3D knitted fabric, which fabric has hot-melt adhesive yarn, on a carrier device for an interior component of a motor vehicle, includes the following steps: arranging the 3D knitted fabric on the carrier device in a laminating apparatus; activating the hot-melt adhesive yarn by way of the laminating apparatus for the heat-setting of the 3D knitted fabric; laminating the heat-set 3D knitted fabric on the carrier device by way of the laminating apparatus. A laminating apparatus for performing the heat-setting and laminating of the 3D knitted fabric on the carrier device is provided.

Skin for dressing backlit vehicle interior parts comprising a perforated opaque decorative layer and a light transmitting material filling the holes wherein the light transmitting material is a reactive hotmelt adhesive which forms a base layer extended over the back side of the opaque decorative layer and comprising a central portion and a transition portion surrounding the central portion and several projections protruding from the central portion of the base layer and completely filling the through holes. Method and an installation for manufacturing said skin for dressing backlit vehicle interior parts.

Provided are a method of collectively preparing moisture-permeable waterproof clothing and clothing prepared thereby. The method includes a step of cutting a fabric substrate and a film into a plurality of pieces, wherein the plurality of pieces includes at least a first and second group, wherein the first group includes a first substrate and film, and the second group includes a second substrate and film; a step of forming a first laminate by processing the first group; a step of forming a second laminate by processing the second group; a step of forming a seam by connecting the first and second substrate; a step of covering a seam area with the second film and then covering the second film with the first film; and a step of finally laminating the first and the second laminate along with the seam.
