Chromatic components are presented which alleviate the usage in various applications in that this chromatic component is, according to a first aspect of the present application, made-up of a mirroring surface and a diffusing layer in front of the mirroring surface, which preferentially scatters short-wavelength components of impinging light with respect to long-wavelength components of the impinging light, and in that according to another aspect, the chromatic component is made up of a stratified-glass panel which comprises two less sheets sandwiching an adhesive transparent polymeric film wherein the adhesive transparent polymeric film forms a diffusing layer which preferentially scatters short-wavelength components of light passing the stratified-glass panel with respect to long-wavelength components of this light with respect to long-wavelength components of the same.

The present disclosure includes a stretchable reflective film comprising a transparent polymer layer; a continuous metal layer comprising at least one of tin or indium; a non-reactive adhesive layer; and a stretchable film layer. The stretchable reflective film has at least 30% specular reflectivity when stretched by 50% of the unstretched length according to Specular Reflectivity Test Method.

A vehicle body assembly includes a first body wholly or partly made of a first polymeric material. The first polymeric material includes a polycarbonate and has a 60-degree gloss that is equal to or greater than 80 gloss units. The first body defines an outermost surface of the vehicle body assembly. The first body may be an exterior trim component, such as a grille portion, and may have a black color. The vehicle body assembly further includes a second body coupled (e.g., chemically bonded) to the first body. The second body may be a support body configured to support the exterior trim component and is wholly or partly made of a second polymeric material. The second polymeric material is different from the first polymeric material, and the outermost surface of the first body faces away from the second body.

Two layers include one or more monovinylidene aromatic monomer containing polymers which are impact modified by a rubber, one or more monovinylidene aromatic monomer and unsaturated nitrile containing copolymers, or a blend of one or more monovinylidene aromatic monomer containing polymers and a polyolefin, which exhibit resistance to environmental stress cracking. At least one of the two layers is an outer layer. An inner layer includes post-consumer recycled monovinylidene aromatic monomer containing polymers which are impact modified by a rubber, post-industrial recycled monovinylidene aromatic monomer containing polymers which are impact modified by a rubber. Optionally, the composition may include virgin monovinylidene aromatic monomer containing polymers which are impact modified by a rubber. Optionally, the composition may include an outer layer which is a gloss layer.

A pattern layer formed on a sheet base material, a first surface protective layer formed on the pattern layer, and a second surface protective layer partially formed on the first surface protective layer. The first surface protective layer and the second surface protective layer each have a gloss different to each other. The sheet base material is a thin paper that has a T-type peeling strength of 130 gf/15 mm or more and 210 gf/15 mm or less and an air permeability in accordance with JIS P 8117 of 150 seconds or more.

A method of evaluating a laminate formed of two or more layers bonded to each other includes an image obtaining step of obtaining a two-dimensional image of the laminate; a detecting step of detecting air-pocket corresponding regions from a two-dimensional image; a characteristic value obtaining step of determining a characteristic value related to areas of the air-pocket corresponding regions; and an evaluation step of evaluating the laminate based on the characteristic value. is a method of evaluating a laminate.

Machine direction oriented coextruded multilayer film structures for use as labelstock and die cut adhesive labels are described. The labelstocks comprise extruded machine direction oriented multilayer films and an adhesive layer. The multilayer film structures include skin layers made from a mixture of 70% to about 99.9% by weight of at least one propylene polymer, and from about 0.1% to about 20% by weight of at least one ethylene polymer, or from about 0.1% to about 25% by weight of at least one propylene polymer, and from about 75% to about 99.9% by weight of at least one ethylene polymer. The coextruded multilayer films are stretch oriented in the machine direction at a temperature at about or above the melting temperature of the polyethylenes and optionally include an adhesive layer and release liner.

A chromatic stratified panel structure (100) for generating a sun-sky-imitating effect in lighting systems (1) comprises two cover panels (102, 104) at least one of which being a transparent panel; an adhesive transparent polymeric layer (106) sandwiched between the two inner faces of the two cover panels; and at least one nanoparticle-based Rayleigh-like diffusing coating (108) applied to an inner face of at least one of the two cover panels (102, 104) and/or to a face of the adhesive transparent polymeric layer (106) and forming an interlayer between one of the cover panels (102, 104) and the adhesive transparent polymeric layer (106).
