Provided is a flooring tile manufacturing apparatus includes: a lower sheet supply unit configured to form and supply a lower sheet; a middle sheet supply unit configured to supply a middle sheet joined to an upper side of the lower sheet; a raw material supply unit configured to supply materials having different contents of a filler to the lower sheet supply unit and the middle sheet supply unit; a main roller configured to join the lower sheet and the middle sheet that have been received; a first sheet supply unit configured to supply a print sheet having a color or a pattern to the main roller; a second sheet supply unit configured to supply a transparent sheet to the main roller; and an ultraviolet (UV) coating unit configured to form a UV coating layer on a surface of the transparent sheet.

A method for preparing carpet by using polyurethane to anneal secondary backing to a greige, comprising fibers attached to a primary backing using a roller application system. The greige is conditioned prior to coating and the polyurethane coated greige is contacted with the secondary backing and the laminate is tensioned and supported to maintain the laminate structure substantially through the polyurethane curing process.

An electronic device housing, and an electronic device including the same are provided. The electronic device housing includes a substrate including glass, an insert portion which is bonded to the substrate at a surface of the insert portion, and at which a functional component of an electronic device having the electronic device housing is disposed, and an elastic layer which is between the substrate and the insert portion and extends along the surface of the insert portion.

A method for producing a film-coated metal plate, comprising the steps of: (1) pre-heating and soaking a metal plate; (2) hot coating the metal plate with a thin film; (3) cooling the metal plate; (4) compressing the metal plate to dry it; (5) reheating and post-processing the metal plate. This method is able to produce a metal plate having a thin film coated on the surface thereof and to easily control the thickness of a melting layer of the thin film in the process of production, especially control the difference between the thicknesses of the melting layers on both sides; and meanwhile, this method is able to increase the cooling rate. Accordingly, this method enhances the performance of the film-coated metal plate and increases the application range of the film-coated metal plate by means of a more environmentally friendly producing process and lower energy consumption, and is able to produce good economic and social benefits. The film-coated metal plate produced by this method can be used for food and beverage package. A device for producing a film-coated metal plate, which can produce a film-coated metal plate using the described method for producing a film-coated metal plate. The device comprises: an induction heating apparatus, an offset roller (4), a thin film guide roller (6), a film-coating roller (7), a cooling apparatus (9), a compressing and drying roller (12), a reheating apparatus (14) and an air cooling apparatus (15).

Provided herein are an aluminum can end stock (CES) and methods for producing CES. The CES includes a laminated metal strip having a polymer film coating and beneficially exhibiting crazing resistance. In some cases, the crazing-resistant CES described herein also exhibit low feathering and high abrasion resistance. The laminated metal strip can include the laminated polymer coating on an interior-facing side of the metal strip. The laminated metal strip can further include a pretreatment coating between the polymer film coating and the metal strip. The CES is formed by laminating a polymer film to a side of the metal strip and annealing the laminated metal strip. In some cases, the polymer film laminated to the metal strip is a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film.

Provided herein are an aluminum can end stock (CES) and methods for producing CES. The CES includes a laminated metal strip having a polymer film coating and beneficially exhibiting low feathering, low hairing, and high abrasion resistance. The laminated metal strip can include the laminated polymer coating on an exterior-facing side and a lacquered coating on an interior-facing side. The CES is formed by laminating a polymer film to a side of the metal strip and annealing the laminated metal strip. In some cases, the polymer film laminated to the metal strip is a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, which may be colored.

A clad material includes a first layer made of stainless steel and a second layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy and roll-bonded to the first layer. In the clad material, a grain size of the second layer measured by a comparison method of JIS H 0501 is 0.150 mm or less.
