The invention relates to a padding for a motor vehicle seat having a sheet for measuring multizone pressure. The sheet has a flexible support layer, with a first electrode having first contact elements, a second electrode having second contact elements and a plurality of intermediate contact elements having piezoresistive properties, each of the intermediate elements being inserted between a first and a second element to form a plurality of pressure sensors. The support layer is made of mesh. The first electrode is made from conductive ink printed on the support layer. The second electrode is made from printed conductive ink, and the intermediate contact elements are made from printed conductive ink with less conductivity than the inks of the electrodes.

The invention relates to an installation and a method for selectively producing a single- or multi-ply nonwoven includes an inclined wire former configured to deposit a sheet of wet-laid fibre material on a first circulating belt, a further belt configured to receive the sheet of wet-laid fibre material from the first circulating belt, a roller card arranged downstream in the material transport direction and configured to introduce a roller card web into the installation, a hydroentanglement arranged downstream in the material transport direction and including at least one water beam configured to entangle, bond and/or structure a single sheet of fibres or a plurality of sheets of fibres, and a dryer arranged downstream in the material transport direction.

An article comprising: (a) one or more nonwoven material layers comprising a lofted fibrous material; and (b) one or more molded material layers having a fibrous matrix, wherein the article is configured to at least partially thermally insulate an item or compartment and the article absorbs external heat or cold to substantially prevent amplitude of temperature fluctuation of the item or within the compartment.

The present invention relates to a molding base material (10) with which it is possible to prepare a vehicle exterior material such as an underbody shielding material. As a result of continued investigations, the applicant of the present application found that the objective of the present invention could be achieved by means of a “molding base material including a fiber base material layer (1) and a cover layer (3), wherein the fiber base material layer and the cover layer are integrally bonded to one another by means of a polypropylene-based resin layer (5) present at the interface between the fiber base material layer and the cover layer”, and wherein the fiber base material layer contains sheath-core type composite fibers of which the core portion is a polyester-based resin and the sheath portion is a polypropylene-based resin. That is, it was found, for example, that a vehicle exterior material prepared using a molding base material satisfying this composition does not readily suffer from inter-layer peeling under high-temperature conditions, and has excellent heat resistance.

A laminated body is disclosed. The laminate body has a leather layer comprising natural leather in which all or a portion of the reticular layer has been removed, a fiber layer comprising natural and/or synthetic fibers positioned at the rear-side of the leather layer, and an adhesive layer between the leather layer and the fiber layer, wherein, in the leather layer, the proportion of the thickness of the reticular layer is 5% or less and the proportion of the thickness of the papillary layer is 95% or more.

A multi-layered material with low thickness is provided, having properties of thermal and electric insulation, flame retardant capacity and high mechanical strength, useful for the manufacture of personal protective equipment and more in general of work items for the protection against arc flash effects. The material provides a high grade of protection against arc flash with good flexibility and comfort for the wearer, who is thus protected without being hindered in movements.

Various aspect of the present disclosure relate to a sealed storage tank. The sealed storage tank includes a first film at least partially defining a first internal chamber of the sealed storage tank. The first film includes a first polymeric layer having a thickness in a range of from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. The first film can include an optional first fibrous scrim layer directly contacting the first polymeric layer. The sealed storage tank can further include a second film attached to the first film and at least partially defining a second internal chamber of the sealed storage tank, the second film comprising. The second film can further include a second polymeric layer having a thickness in a range of from about 0.05 mm to about 1 mm. The second film can include an optional second fibrous scrim layer directly contacting the second polymeric layer.

Disclosed is a new multi-layer nonwoven interlining and the production process thereof. The process allows a multi-layer nonwoven interlining to be obtained simultaneously with a single process on a single production line. The process includes a fiber opening step, a fiber feeding step, a carding step, a levelling step of the additional layer by the thermal treatment, and a point bonding step of the carded web and additional layer. As a result of the process, a structure is obtained where the carded web is point-bonded onto the additional layer.

In the phenolic resin foam laminate board (10), a surface material (2) is arranged on at least one of one side of a phenolic resin foam (1) and the back side of the one side. The phenolic resin foam (1) has a density of not less than 22 kg/m.sup.3 and not more than 50 kg/m.sup.3, a cell diameter of not less than 50 μm and not more than 170 μm, and a closed cell ratio of not less than 80%. When HCFO-1224yd(Z), aliphatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 6 or less, chlorinated saturated hydrocarbons having a carbon number of 5 or less, and hydrofluoroolefin are gas components, the phenolic resin foam contains only HCFO-1224yd (Z) as a gas component. A cell internal pressure of air bubble is 0.20 atm or more.

A composite material for use as a billboard sheeting material includes a scrim coated on only a single side with PVC. The composite weighs about 5 ounces per square yard.
