The low combustibility thermal insulation may include a foam composite comprising a polymer material and a fire retardant component disposed in and/or adjacent to the polymer material; and a first controlled combustion layer adjacent to a first surface of the foam composite, wherein the foam composite and first controlled combustion layer are configured to control combustion of the insulation such that a total heat generated in a period of 10 minutes by the panel is equal to or less than 8 MJ/m.sup.2, as measured according to ISO 5660-1, and wherein a thermal conductivity of the insulation is equal to or less than 0.050 W/m K.

This invention relates to a polymer composition that is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of thermoformed articles, which can be biodegraded in industrial composting. This invention also relates to a process for the production of the said composition and articles obtained thereby.

A polyester film for embossing and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The polyester film for embossing is made from a recycled polyester material. The polyester film for embossing includes a base layer and a surface coating layer. The base layer is formed from a polyester composition.

The polyester composition includes regenerated polyethylene terephthalate as a main component. The surface coating layer is disposed on at least one surface of the base layer. A material of the surface coating layer includes a main resin, fillers, and melamine. Based on a total weight of the surface coating layer being 100 wt %, an existing amount of the main resin is 45 wt % to 95 wt %, an existing amount of the fillers is 0.1 wt % to 30 wt %, and an existing amount of the melamine is 0.01 wt % to 25 wt %.

A flame retardant is included in a resin phase, and the flame retardant has a maximum number frequency in a range of 1 μm or less when a particle size distribution is evaluated by dividing a particle size into 1 μm increments. The resin phase includes inorganic particles, and the inorganic particles have a maximum number frequency in a range of 0.5 μm or less when the particle size distribution is evaluated by dividing the particle size into 0.5 μm increments. The flame retardant has an average particle size larger than the average particle size of inorganic particles. The number frequency of the flame retardant and the inorganic particles, respectively, decreases with increasing the particle size.

Disclosed herein are an antimicrobial reinforced floor and a method for preparing the same. In the method, a substrate and an impregnated paper impregnated with an inorganic antimicrobial agent and an organic antimicrobial agent are subjected to hot press forming to produce the antimicrobial reinforced floor.

The present invention relates to a flexible plastic film, and more specifically to a flexible plastic film having excellent flexibility while exhibiting high hardness. According to the present invention, the flexible plastic film exhibits flexibility, bending property, high hardness, scratch resistance and high transparency, and hardly has a risk of damaging the film even in a state of being warped for a long period of time, and thereby can be usefully applied to flexible mobile devices, display devices, front face and display unit of various instrument panels, and the like.

Filter media and filters, such as air filters, face masks, gas turbine and compressor air intake filters, panel filters and the like, are provided that include high linear density fibers and nanoparticles dispersed throughout at least a portion of the filter media. A filter includes a filter media comprising a substrate of fibers having a linear density of greater than about 3 denier, and nanoparticles disposed within the substrate. The larger linear density fibers provide more open space or pores within the filter media, allowing for a greater density of nanoparticles to be dispersed therein. This improves the overall efficiency of the filter. The three-dimensional distribution of nanoparticles within the filter also provides resistance against complete blockage of a particular portion of the filter, thereby reducing the overall pressure drop across the filter.

The present invention relates to a multi-layer body comprising in this order, (I) a substrate layer made of a specific thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compound, (II) at least one layer made of a colorant or a colorant composition and (III) a film. The present invention also relates to a lighting unit, comprising the multi-layer body and a light source, to a method for producing the multi-layer body, and to the use of the specific thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compound as a substrate layer of a multi-layer body of this type.

This invention relates to a polymer composition that is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of thermoformed articles, which can be biodegraded in industrial composting. This invention also relates to a process for the production of the said composition and articles obtained thereby.
