A lining plate having an outer decorative layer, a support layer having at least magnesium oxide or magnesium oxide with perlite and/or vermiculite and/or cellulose, a barrier membrane to reduce or avoid water and moisture intrusion, and a self-adhesive foam material layer with an adhesive surface to be placed on a surface to be lined, the layer being provided with a plurality of perforations. The support layer has a non-homogeneous density in its thickness, distinguishing a first thickness, following the decorative layer, and a second thickness, between the first thickness and the barrier membrane, in which the density in the first thickness is greater than the density in the second thickness. The support layer is provided with a reinforcing structure formed by meshes or by a fabric of a composite material located within the second thickness of the support layer.

A rigid polymeric modular flooring plank can be one continuous piece having a top surface, a bottom surface and multiple sides defining the edges of said rigid polymeric modular flooring plank. The rigid polymeric modular flooring plank can include the appearance of multiple tiles or one tile as part of the top surface, with each of the multiple tiles having multiple simulated sides and a decorative surface, and each tile is completely surrounded by simulated grout lines that have a depth and either have a full width W or a half width ½W. Any simulated grout line that is located at any of said multiple sides has the half width and all other simulated grout lines have the full width. The rigid polymeric modular flooring plank has at least a polymeric base layer, a decorative layer, and a wear layer located above the decorative layer.

Compositions of injection molded articles, multilayer extruded articles, and 3D printed articles with improved flame properties and with improved melt dripping properties are disclosed. Improved flame resistant articles may be beneficial for a large number of injection molded parts, 3D printed parts, and extruded parts. Reduced melt dripping also may be beneficial for such applications. Methods for using such compositions, printed parts, molded parts, and extruded parts are disclosed.

An improved cover board product with a panel comprised of three discrete layers: a top surface layer comprised of either paper or a fiberglass web, a bottom surface layer comprised of either paper or a fiberglass web, and a core layer comprised of discrete paper fragments and polypropylene fragments, which are connected by use of a thermoplastic bonding resin, including polyethylene. The bonding resin is generally attached in a random pattern to less than 100% of the paper fragment and polypropylene fragment surface area. The paper fragments are generally shaped as irregular plates. The polypropylene fragments can have multiple shape types. The two different fragment types are randomly distributed in the core layer relative to each other. The core layer includes small voids in and around the particles, which improves flexibility. The core layer is attached to the top and bottom surface layers by use of a thermoplastic adhesive, including polyethylene.

Provided is highly stable and versatile multilayered structure or articles, based on cellulose nanomaterials, tailored and processed for a variety of applications, as superior materials in the food packaging industry.

A method for the generation of a gas mixture comprising carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and optionally hydrogen for use in hydroformylation plants or in carbonylation plants, including mixing an optional steam with carbon dioxide in the desired molar ratio, feeding the resulting gas to a solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) or an SOEC stack at a sufficient temperature for the cell or cell stack to operate while effecting a partial conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and optionally of steam to hydrogen, removing some or all the remaining steam from the raw product gas stream by cooling the raw product gas stream and separating the remaining product gas from a liquid, and using said gas mixture containing CO and CO.sub.2 for liquid phase synthesis reactions utilizing carbon monoxide as one of the reactants while recycling CO.sub.2 to the SOEC or SOEC stack.

Filter media comprising one or more layers comprising nanofibers are generally described. In some embodiments, a filter media comprises a layer comprising nanofibers. The nanofibers may comprise an elastomer, a multiblock copolymer, and/or a multiblock copolymer that is an elastomer.

A veneered element, including a substrate, a wood veneer layer having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface being opposite to the second surface, an adhesive layer adapted to adhere the first surface of the wood veneer layer to a surface of the substrate, wherein adhesive from the adhesive layer is present in a first portion of the wood veneer layer, extending from the first surface of the wood veneer layer into the wood veneer layer, and wherein the second surface of the wood veneer layer is substantially free from adhesive from the adhesive layer. Also, a method of producing such a veneered element).

An insulation panel has a top barrier, a bottom barrier, and an insulation core layer disposed between to the top and bottom barriers. The insulation core layer includes a plurality of discrete hydrated compressed puffed polysaccharide particulates that are mechanically and/or chemically adhered to one another and to the top and bottom barriers. The plurality of discrete particulates defines a plurality of voids within the core layer.

A composition suitable for use in forming a heavy layer of a heavy layered mat and include: 5 wt % to 30 wt % a propylene-based elastomer; 5 wt % to 30 wt % low density polyethylene; 0 wt % to 15 wt % linear low density polyethylene; 50 wt % to 90 wt % filler; and 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % processing aid. Optionally, the composition can further include 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % of a stabilizer and/or an antioxidant. Optionally, the composition can further include 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % EVA copolymer, or the composition can have an absence of EVA copolymer.
