A carpet waste composite and method for making the same are disclosed. In one embodiment of the method, cleaned, unadulterated layers of carpet having a backing side and a tufted side are provided. An initial, unfused carpet layer is made by placing two cleaned, unadulterated layers of carpet tufted side-to-tufted side with homogenous and adhesive contact therebetween. Heat and pressure followed by cooling are applied to furnish an initial, fused carpet layer. An iterative, unfused carpet layer is created by placing two cleaned, unadulterated layers of carpet tufted side-to-tufted side with the initial, fused carpet layer interposed therebetween using adhesive contact. Heat and pressure followed by cooling are applied to furnish an iterative, fused carpet layer. The process of adding layers may continue as required.

The object of the invention is a method of manufacturing a three-dimensionally shaped floor paneling, luggage compartment paneling or load floor paneling for motor vehicles, the carpet surface of which has a needled structure on the visible side, as well as the panelings themselves.

Provided is a multilayer thermal insulator and related method that use a non-woven core layer comprising non-meltable and flame-resistant polymeric fibers. One or more scrims are disposed on the opposing major surfaces of the non-woven core layer, and a peripheral edge of the one or more scrims is either edge sealed or capable of being edge sealed to substantially encapsulate the non-woven core layer within the one or more scrims. Optionally, a binder is provided on the scrims or non-woven core layer to facilitate edge sealing. The provided insulators are essentially dust-free and capable of passing stringent flammability standards.

A sealing device including a waterproofing layer including at least one thermoplastic elastomer P1 and an outer layer of non-woven fabric directly adhered to at least portion of the second major surface of the waterproofing layer, wherein the outer layer of non-woven fabric including at least one polymer P2. Further, a method for producing a sealing device, to the use of a layer of non-woven fabric including or essentially consisting of polypropylene fibers for reducing blocking of a waterproofing layer including at least one propylene-based thermoplastic elastomer, and to a method for covering a roof substrate using the sealing devices of the present invention.

A method of making a wet friction material includes joining filler particles and fibers together and forming a base; coating an outer surface of the base with a quaternary ammonium salt containing solution; and drying the quaternary ammonium salt containing solution to form a quaternary ammonium salt containing coating on the outer surface of the base.

Described herein is a construction comprising a microsphere layer comprising a plurality of microspheres, wherein the microspheres comprise glass, ceramic, and combinations thereof; a bead bonding layer, wherein the plurality of microspheres is partially embedded in the bead bonding layer forming a first surface comprising exposed microspheres, wherein the plurality of microspheres on the first surface are truncated. Also disclosed herein are articles comprising the construction and methods of making thereof.

A production method for a laminate of a fluorosilicone rubber and a silicone rubber is provided. The production method comprises the following steps: (1) curing a fluorosilicone rubber composition comprising: (A) an organopolysiloxane having alkenyl groups and fluoroalkyl groups, (B) an organopolysiloxane having silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms and fluoroalkyl groups, and (C) a hydrosilylation reaction catalyst; (2) laminating a silicone rubber composition comprising: (D) an organopolysiloxane having alkenyl groups and not having fluoroalkyl groups, and (E) an organic peroxide on a surface of a fluorosilicone rubber produced in step (1) above; and (3) curing a silicone rubber composition layer in a laminate produced in step (2) above. A laminate in which a fluorosilicone rubber layer and a silicone rubber layer are adhered well using a hydrosilylation reaction curable fluorosilicone rubber composition is produced.

Provided is a seal-type thermal transfer image-receiving sheet capable of providing a seal section having novel designability. A seal-type thermal transfer image-receiving sheet includes a release section and a seal section integrated. The seal section is provided peelably from the release section. The seal section has a layered structure in which a pressure-adhesive layer and a receiving layer capable of receiving a sublimable dye are layered in the order mentioned from the side of the release section. When the seal section is peeled off from the release section, a reference plate and the seal section peeled off are superposed together, and a reflection density of the reference plate is measured from the side of the seal section, the value of the reflection density is 15% or more, on the presupposition that the reflection density of the reference plate before the superposition with the seal section is set to 100%.

Disclosed is a sole-type body member, which is a main body of a shoe sole or an insole, is laminated on the sheet-type coated cork, and is then pressed and heated so that a part of the sole-type body member is inserted into the main-body-coupling opening, thereby achieving coupling therebetween.

In order to provide a layered article in which shape deformation is suppressed while exhibiting compression properties that are an index of impact absorption, and further, a layered article that can control feeling when receiving impact on demand, provided is a layered article including a porous structure material containing discontinuous reinforcing fibers (A), resin (B) and voids (C), and a skin layer formed on a surface of the porous structure material, in which the porous structure material has an elastic resilience from 50% compression of 1 MPa or more, and the layered article has a plastic deformation amount of 20 μm or less in a falling-weight impact test performed on the surface on which the skin layer is formed.
