A composite product substantially reduced the impact force imposed by hard impactor which travelled at the speed in the range of 400 m/s to 1400 m/s simultaneously damping the vibrations and shocks appeared therein is disclosed. At the same time it is light weight with the weight lower than that of 22 to 38 kg/m2and is flexible to adopt the shape suitable for the end applications. A method of manufacturing the composite product of the invention is also disclosed.

A membrane roofing system that includes a waterproof layer that protects an insulation layer and a granule coupled to the waterproof layer. The granule has a 60% or greater reflectivity that reduces transmission of ultraviolet light to the waterproof layer. The granule is coated in a fluorinated acrylic copolymer that resists adsorption and absorption of asphaltic chemicals by the granule from the waterproof layer.

Film stacks are described. In particular, film stacks including a base overlaminate film layer and a removeable skin layer disposed on the base overlaminate film layer are described. Because the removable skin layer develops haze before the point of irreversibly damaging the base overlaminate layer, the film stack can prevent unintentional overstretching when the film stack is stretched together.

The present invention provides a non-woven fabric for supporting a solid electrolyte in which heat-fusible composite fibers with a crimp are contained in an amount of not less than 60 mass % and not more than 100 mass % and are heat-fused, and a solid electrolyte sheet. The non-woven fabric for supporting a solid electrolyte is excellent in process performance, is satisfactorily filled with a solid electrolyte, is suitable for achieving a thin solid electrolyte sheet, and has few hole defects. The solid electrolyte sheet is excellent in self-sustainability and flexibility.

The present invention relates to a ceramized silicone resin composition and a pre-preg and a laminate that use the composition. The ceramized silicone resin composition comprises: 50-100 parts of a condensation-type silicone resin, 0.0001-2 parts of a catalyst, 5-80 parts of a ceramic-forming filler, and 0.01-50 parts of a flux. The pre-preg and the laminate manufactured using the ceramized silicone resin composition, when used in a sustained high temperature, can transform into complex ceramized structure thereby providing ceramic properties, thus providing great fireproof and flame retardant effects; also, manufacturing of the laminate is similar to that of a regular FR-4 laminate, where the process is easy to operate. The ceramized silicone resin composition, the pre-preg, and the laminate have the advantages of being halogen-free, low smoke, low toxicity, flame retardant, and fireproof, provide a novel concept and a novel method in terms of flame retardancy and fire resistance, accelerate the research progress in laminate passive fire protection technology, and have broad prospects in the field of fire protection and fire resistance.

Floor element for forming a floor covering, wherein the floor element comprises a decorative layer, a support layer, and an intermediate layer disposed between the decorative layer and the support layer, wherein the decorative layer is made of a brittle material, wherein the floor elements comprises edges provided with coupling elements adapted to cooperate with coupling elements of an adjacent similar floor element in said floor covering and wherein the intermediate layer comprises at least one edge that is offset relative to a respective edge of the decorative layer.

The present disclosure relates to a dielectric composite may include a dielectric substrate overlying a reinforcement fabric layer. The dielectric substrate may include a resin matrix component, and a ceramic filler component. The ceramic filler component may include a first filler material. The particle size distribution of the first filler material may have a D.sub.10 of at least about 1.0 microns and not greater than about 1.7, a D.sub.50 of at least about 1.0 microns and not greater than about 3.5 microns, and a D.sub.90 of at least about 2.7 microns and not greater than about 6 microns.

A filter medium includes first and second porous films mainly containing fluororesin, and a pre-collection member upstream of the first film. The second film is downstream of the first film. The pre-collection member has a pressure drop when air is passed through at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/s of between 15 Pa and 55 Pa, a collection efficiency of NaCl particles having a particle diameter of 0.3 μm when air containing the particles is passed hrough at a flow rate of 5.3 cm/s of between 25% and 80%, a thickness of 0.4 mm or less, and a PF value between 7 and 15. The PF value={−log((100−collection efficiency (%))/100)}/(pressure drop (Pa)/1000). A ratio of the PF value of the pre-collection member to the PF value when the first and second films are overlapped, is between 0.20 and 0.45. The filter medium can be used in a filter pack or filter unit, and may be produced by integrating the first and second films and the pre-collection member using heat lamination.
