Provided is a composite sheet that is particularly useful as an AQDL component in absorbent articles. The composite sheet includes a fluid acquisition component and an airlaid component. The airlaid component may include one or more airlaid layers that are successively formed overlying each other. Each of the airlaid layers are adjacent to, and in direct contact with, immediately adjacent layers of the airlaid component so that adjacent layers are in fluid communication with respect to each other. The fluid acquisition component includes a nonwoven fabric comprising a carded nonwoven fabric comprised of a plurality of staple fibers that are air through bonded to each other to form a coherent nonwoven fabric. The airlaid layer(s) include a blend of cellulose and non-cellulose staple fibers. The staple fibers may be bicomponent fibers having a polyethyelene sheath and a polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate core, and mixtures of such fibers.

Provided is a PSA sheet comprising a fabric sheet and a PSA layer laminated on the fabric sheet. The PSA layer comprises a base polymer and a tackifier resin. The base polymer is a block copolymer of a monovinyl-substituted aromatic compound and a conjugated diene compound. The PSA layer has a thickness greater than 100 μm and less than 190 μm.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a sound absorbing material which exhibits excellent sound absorbing performance in low-frequency and intermediate-frequency ranges, and preferably also in higher-frequency ranges. This laminated sound absorbing material includes at least: a fiber layer; and a porous layer, wherein the fiber layer has a mean flow pore size of 1.0-60 μm and an air permeability as measured with a Frazier method of 30-220 cc/cm.sup.2.Math.s, and the porous layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of foamed resins, unwoven fabrics, and woven fabrics, has a thickness of 3-40 mm and a density of 3-50 kg/m3 which is lower than that of the fiber layer, and is disposed such that the fiber layer is on a sound incidence side.

A panel having a substrate and a top layer provided thereon, wherein the top layer comprises at least a melamine resin and a binder, the binder being selected from the group comprising: polyacrylates based binder, polyvinyl acetate based binder, polyester based binder, acrylic copolymers based binder or urethane based binder.

Provided is a PSA sheet comprising a fabric sheet and a PSA layer laminated on the fabric sheet. The PSA layer comprises a base polymer and a tackifier resin. The base polymer is a block copolymer of a monovinyl-substituted aromatic compound and a conjugated diene compound. The tackifier resin comprises a tackifier resin having a softening point below 120° C. and a tackifier resin having a softening point of 120° C. or higher. The fabric sheet has a thickness of 15 μm or greater and 50 μm or less as well as a bulk density of 0.25 g/cm.sup.3 or higher and 0.50 g/cm.sup.3 or lower.

The present invention provides a decorative sheet for recoating, in which the recoating layer is laminated with a sufficient adhesive strength, and the recoating layer has satisfactory ink receptivity for retaining a colorant. The decorative sheet for recoating includes: a base material; a recoating layer that is provided on at least one surface side of the base material, contains thermoplastic resin fibers as fibers of a constituent component, and has spaces among the fibers; and an adhesion layer between the base material and the recoating layer, which has been formed by melt deposition or flow deposition of at least a part of the thermoplastic resin fibers.

Hoses include a tube, a reinforcement layer disposed outwardly from the tube, and a cover layer disposed outwardly from the reinforcement layer. The cover layer may be based on a first elastomeric blend of a first chlorinated polyethylene and chlorosulphonated polyethylene, a first flame-resistant composition, and a peroxide/sulfur curing system. The tube may be based upon a second elastomeric blend of a second chlorinated polyethylene and ethylene vinyl acetate rubber, a second flame-resistant composition, and a peroxide curing system. The first flame-resistant package and the second flame-resistant package includes one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of antimony oxide, zinc molybdate/magnesium silicate complex, magnesium aluminum hydroxy carbonate, and aluminum trihydroxide. In some aspects, the hoses meet the testing performance requirements of EN 45545-2, HL2/R22 category standard, and EN854 type 2TE standard.

Stabilizing a fabric layer and simultaneously laminating a fabric to a bulky and cushioning backing layer using multiple internal adhesive layers placed within the fabric layer forms a composite textile. The melt index, weight and chemical compatibility of the adhesive layers versus the adjacent fabric sub-strata and the backing layer are adjusted to achieve the desired penetration of molten adhesive, mechanical bonding and chemical bonding. An optional external adhesive layer with a low melt index can be added between the fabric layer and the backing layer to facilitate attachment to a highly porous backing.

Methods for forming multi-layer substrates including top and bottom surface layers and a melt softened thermoplastic material layer between the exterior surface layers, where the thermoplastic material includes polyethylene or has a tan delta value of 0.2 to 0.4 within the temperature range of 100° F.-350° F. The 3 (or more) layers are assembled, and heated, melt softening the thermoplastic material, causing bonding of the thermoplastic layer to the exterior surface layers. A cleaning composition may be loaded onto the multi-layer substrate, where a fluid pathway through the melted thermoplastic material allows the cleaning composition to travel between the surface layers. Adhesion between the surface layers and the thermoplastic layer is provided by the thermoplastic material itself, which bonds to groups of fibers in the surface layers. The process does not require chemical adhesives, any processing water, drying, or the like, so as to be possible with low capital investment.
