The present invention provides stretchable laminates with a flat appearance on the visible surface. The laminates comprise a textile layer, a functional layer, and a plurality of elastic fibers. The plurality of elastic fibers are in a substantially parallel arrangement and the internal distance between adjacent fibers does not exceed the maximum fiber spacing, which depends on laminate thickness in a stretched state. Also provided are garments and footwear comprising the stretchable laminates and methods of producing the stretchable laminates.

An object of the present invention is to provide a conveyor belt rubber composition having excellent wear resistance and gouging resistance, a method for producing the conveyor belt rubber composition, a conveyor belt formed using the conveyor belt rubber composition, and a belt conveyor equipped with the conveyor belt. The present invention relates to a conveyor belt rubber composition containing a diene rubber containing less than 50 mass % of an aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer, wherein the aromatic vinyl-conjugated diene copolymer has a content of repeating units derived from an aromatic vinyl of 20 mass % or less, and a proportion of a vinyl structure in repeating units derived from a conjugated diene of 8 mol % or less.

An exterior sheathing cementitious panel which prevents water penetration and air leakage is provided. Methods for manufacturing exterior sheathing cementitious panels with a highly efficient integrated air/water barrier sheet are also provided. An exterior sheathing system employing the exterior sheathing cementitious panel is provided.

A roofing underlayment includes a hydrophobic nonwoven core layer that provides enhanced resistance to water infiltration. In addition to the hydrophobic nonwoven core layer, the roofing underlayment includes a coating layer adhered to a surface of the hydrophobic nonwoven core layer, and an exterior surface layer adhered to the coating layer. A roofing system that includes the roofing underlayment is also provided.

A carbon fiber tape material is favorable in followability to molds and impregnation with matrix resins, and capable of enhancing the productivity in producing a reinforcing fiber laminate by a method of fiber placement and capable of providing a molded body with high mechanical strength when the material is impregnated with a resin and molded. The carbon fiber tape material has a carbon fiber bundle group including a plurality of carbon fiber bundles arranged in parallel with the fiber orientation direction and a fabric are integrated, and satisfies (a) to (c): (a) the fabric includes one or more thermoplastic resins; (b) the carbon fiber tape material excluding the fabric is between 120 g/m.sup.2 and 400 g/m.sup.2 in basis weight; and (c) the fabric elongation rate with a load of 80 mN/50 mm applied to the fabric is 5% to 100% in at least one direction of the fabric.

Aspects herein are directed to a composite nonwoven textile that includes non-linear entangled seams and method and systems for producing the same. The composite nonwoven textile includes at least a first nonwoven layer, a second layer, and a fill material positioned between the first nonwoven layer and the second layer. When the composite nonwoven textile is formed into a garment, the regions between the non-linear entangled seams may help store and retain heat to provide insulation, and the non-linear entangled seams may help prevent shifting or drift of the fill material.

The invention relates to a catalytic and/or reactive unit, preferably in the form of a protective material with catalytic and/or reactive properties, particularly with the function of protecting from chemical and/or biological harmful and/or poisonous substances, preferably in the form of a textile protective filter material, as well as a method for producing same. The catalytic and/or reactive unit is particularly suitable for producing protective equipments and/or protective objects, and filter and filter materials of all types.

The vehicle headliner includes a base layer, a skin layer disposed on one side of the base layer, and an infrared reflecting layer and a protection layer, in this order, disposed on the other side of the base layer. The base layer contains thermoplastic resin and fiber. The protection layer is a non-stretched resin layer containing a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 200° C. or more.

Disclosed is a process of manufacturing a thickened angle ring. The process includes the steps of: soaking wet paper into deionized water for 1 hour; beating bonding surfaces of the two pieces of wet paper into fuzzed and rough surfaces; placing a heat resisting polyester film and a nylon net on a mold, and placing one fuzzed wet paper on the mold in contact with the nylon net on smooth side thereof; placing the other wet paper in contact with the fuzzed surface of the previous wet paper on fuzzed side thereof, and beating until the wet paper fits the mold; placing a further heat resisting polyester film and a further nylon net on the two pieces of wet paper for pressing.

The present disclosure relates to a manufacturing method of a vehicle seatback cover, comprising a lightweight composite manufacturing step of manufacturing a lightweight composite using a reinforcing fiber and a thermoplastic resin fiber, a lightweight composite forming step of forming the lightweight composite into a vehicle seatback cover shape and preparing a vehicle seatback cover material, and a carpet bonding step of bonding the vehicle seatback cover material and a carpet material.
