Disclosed is a floor covering insulation for a motor vehicle with a multi-layer, preferably flocked, fibre insulation which, by a soft/smooth coupling layer to the wear surface, realises a sound insulation floor covering with improved acoustic and mechanical-physical properties, with a simultaneous reduction in weight if possible. Also disclosed is a method for manufacturing the sound insulation.

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.

The present invention relates to cleansing articles comprising first and second members forming the first and second outer surface of the article respectively, where the coefficient of friction and/or permeability of the members are different. In certain embodiments the first member comprises a plurality of polymeric protuberances and the second member comprises a plurality of hollow projections.

A method of producing a veneered element, including providing a substrate, applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer, and applying pressure to the veneer layer and/or the substrate, such that at least a portion of the sub-layer permeates through the veneer layer. Also, such a veneered element.

Provided is a single material plastic push-through blister pack for food and pharmaceutical packaging and a method of making thereof. The blister package may be produced by thermoforming polymer films for the cavity and a cavitated polymer film made from the same class of polymer comparatively lower thickness for the substrate or lid. To facilitate the push through breaking, the polymer film used as the lidding film may be modified to a microcavitated film by creating micro-voids/cavities and micro-brittleness within the polymer matrix. These micro-voids/cavities, and/or embedded microcrystalline particles present in the polymer matrix of the lidding film, may create internal cracks in the film by application of a small external force, which may then result in rupturing of the lid film to dispense a product from the cavity of the blister pack.

A splash resistant multi-layered structure is provided. The structure includes a specific arrangement of layers of material and a plurality of three-dimensional spacers that helps prevent penetration through the structure by a fluid that contacts an outer surface of the structure due to a state of forced separation that exists between two adjacent layers of the structure due to the presence of the plurality of three-dimensional spacers positioned between the layers. The plurality of three-dimensional spacers can be positioned on one of the adjacent layers of the structure such that a distance at least as large as the maximum height of the plurality of three-dimensional spacers separates the two layers from each other and can be present on a layer of material in a continuous or discontinuous pattern or can be present on a layer of material in a random fashion. The presence of the three-dimensional spacers can reduce the basis weight or eliminate one or more layers of the structure, which, in turn, can reduce thermal resistance, lower the pressure drop across the layers of the structure, and reduce the overall weight of the structure to enhance breathability and comfort.

The subject matter of the present patent application constitutes an elastomer composition intended for embedding a compact antenna designed to be used and operated in close proximity with regard to the human body to build short-range wireless communication links.

The elastomer composition for embedding a compact antenna is based on natural rubber and components whose quantities are expressed in parts in wt per 100 parts by weight of natural rubber (phr), namely: sulfur1 to 2 phr; phenyl-trichloromethylsulfenyl-benzene sulfonamide0.1 to 0.5 phr; diphenylguanidinefrom 0.3 to 0.8 phr; tertiary butyl-benzothiazolyl-sulfenamidefrom 1 to 2 phr; dimethylbutyl-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine1.5 phr; polymerized trimethyl dihydroquinoline1.5 phr; stearic acid2.0 phr; zinc oxide3.0 phr; rapeseed oil15 to 30 phr; bis (triethoxysilylpropyl) tetrasulfide-silanefrom 0.1 to 4.0 phr; 3-thiocyanato-propyl-triethoxy silanefrom 2.0 to 6.0 phr; carbon black5.0 phr; optionally silicon dioxidefrom 10 to 50.0 phr, microcrystalline cellulosefrom 20.0 to 60.0 phr. The composition of the invention is multilayer.

The advantages that the composition intended for embedding a compact antenna provides are: high efficiency when the antenna is placed over or in close vicinity to a human body model or metal surface pattern, a low specific absorption rate SAR (intensity of absorbed radiation) with regard to a human body model when the antenna is placed over or in close proximity to a human body model.

A decorative film according to the present disclosure comprises a laminate comprising a hard coat layer and a base material layer. The hard coat layer consists of a cured product of a thermosetting coating material comprising an acrylic copolymer (A) having hydroxy groups and an isocyanate curing agent (B). The hard coat layer has a predetermined total light transmittance, diffuse transmittance and tensile strength. The acrylic copolymer (A) has a specific hydroxy value, acid value, glass transition temperature, Mw and Mw/Mn and is a copolymer having units derived from monomers having hydroxy group(s). The content percentage of a unit derived from a monomer having one hydroxy group in 100% by mol of the units derived from monomers having hydroxy group(s) and the content percentage of a primary hydroxy group in the acrylic copolymer (A) satisfy specific ranges.

The present invention includes a multi-layer acoustic and/or reinforcing non-woven fabric.
