A non-transparent paper is described for non-transparent art or graphic design sketches, which prevents seepage of the inks, it accepts any type of gel, water-based, solvent-based, oil-based or mixed inks and solid materials for sketching and drawing, as well as fixatives for the solid materials. This paper consists of a lamination of at least two sheets of uncoated bond paper, inserting at least one intermediate layer of pigmented opacifying emulsion between both sheets, applied between the layers of paper to prevent transparency and the seepage of inks from one face of the lamination to the other. This layer of emulsion contains at least one opacifying pigment, at least one adhesive, agents to control viscosity and surface tension and other components. The outside layers of paper have a drying capacity which fixes the materials used for the sketching and prevent outlines made on one face passing to the adjacent sheets of paper, and also has a texture suitable for receiving any dry material for drawing or sketching.

The present invention provides a decorative film including a layer containing at least one type of additive selected from a nucleating agent, a hindered-amine-based photostabilizer, and a UV-absorbing agent, satisfying the condition below, the decorative film being for affixing, by thermoforming, onto a resin molded article having a three-dimensional shape. Condition: The amount of variation in the haze value measured by a method conforming to JIS-K7136 in a glass plate that has been subjected to the fogging test below, which conforms to ISO 6452, is 40 or less. <Fogging test>: 1 g (0.01 g) of the additive was placed in a sample bottle made of glass, the sample bottle was closed using a glass plate, and clouding (fogging) was produced on the glass plate by heating the sample bottle for 1 hour at 150 C.

A floor, wall, or ceiling panel and to a method for producing same. The panel has a base made of a wood material and an upper veneer. The base and the veneer are hot-pressed together while incorporating a resin layer. During the pressing process, pores, cracks, and/or gaps in the veneer are filled with resin. In particular, the pressing process is carried out such that the veneer is saturated with resin, and the resin can be seen on the surface of the veneer after the pressing process. The adhesion of the veneer to the base and the smoothing of the veneer are thus carried out in one operation.

A multi-layer modular flooring system provides a permanent covering for a ground surface. The flooring system comprises multiple floor panels that detachably fit together to cover the ground surface. The flooring system has two adjacent, parallel layers disposed flush against each otheran upper layer that is the walking surface, and a lower layer that is the layer engaged with the ground surface. The upper layer comprises a surface coating, and is shaped with a protruding portion and a corresponding recessed portion that releasably couple to each other. The lower layer is disposed flush against the upper layer, and defined by a resilient, dampening composition. A ground side of the lower layer is coated with a reusable adhesive composition that allows the floor panel to detachably adhere to the ground surface. The coupling of the protruding and recessed portions, and the reusable adhesive restrict lateral motion of the floor panels.

Multi-layer films and labels are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a multi-layer film includes a core layer, a first intermediate layer disposed on a first side of the core layer, a second intermediate layer disposed on a second side of the core layer, a first skin layer disposed on the first intermediate layer and arranged such that the first intermediate layer is disposed between the core layer and the first skin layer, and a second skin layer disposed on the second intermediate layer and arranged such that the second intermediate layer is disposed between the core layer and the second skin layer, wherein the core layer includes first particles in an amount ranging from about 8 to about 20 wt %, based on the total weight of the core layer, the opacity is about 90 or greater, and the gloss ranges from about 60 to less than about 80.

The invention relates to a high pressure laminate panel having a surface layer on at least one panel surface, which has as the outermost layer a polymer coating with a polyurethane(meth)acrylate polymer, and which is characterized by excellent scratch resistance and resistance to weathering. Furthermore, a method for the production of polyurethane(meth)acrylate-coated high pressure laminate panels is provided.

Disclosed are multilayer films which can provide desired film performance suited for packaging applications favoring cost-effectiveness.
