A method for continuously fabricating a composite sandwich structure includes the steps of: (1) moving a laminate, substantially continuously, through a preheating zone, wherein the laminate includes a first face sheet, a second face sheet and a core sandwiched between the first face sheet and the second face sheet; (2) preheating the laminate to a preforming temperature above a glass transition temperature of the laminate and below or equal to a crystalline melt temperature of the laminate as the laminate is being moved through the preheating zone; (3) moving the laminate, substantially continuously, through a consolidation zone; and (4) consolidating the laminate as the laminate is being moved through the consolidation zone to form a continuous length of the composite sandwich structure.

A flooring coating formulation is disclosed that contains inorganic particles, at least one crosslinking acrylate monomer, at least one polymerizable cyclic/aromatic acrylate monomer, matting agent particles, at least one reactive diluent acrylate monomer, at least one fluorinated acrylate monomer, at least one crosslinkable oligomer, and at least one photoinitiator. The inorganic particles, such as aluminum oxide, can be present in the coating in an amount sufficient to improve wear and/or stain resistance. A floor covering that includes a layer of cured coating which has a polymerized formulation of the flooring coating formulation also is disclosed.

A packaging material for a power storage device includes a structure made up of a cover layer, a barrier layer, a sealant adhesive layer, and a sealant layer laminated in this general order. In the packaging material, the barrier layer has an aluminum foil layer and an anticorrosion treatment layer that is provided to a sealant layer side surface of the aluminum foil layer and faces the sealant adhesive layer. The sealant layer side surface of the aluminum foil layer has a 60? glossiness that is 690 or less in both MD and TD, and has a difference in 60? glossiness between MD and TD that is 100 or less.

Provided is decorative film capable of keeping the brightness and that hardly changes in color during the continuous use. Decorative film is disposed on the surface of a resin base located in a path of a beam of a radar device. The decorative film includes: composite particles, each including a silver particle made of silver and compound including nickel and oxygen, the compound adhering to the silver particle so as to partially surround the surface of the silver particle; and light-transmissive binder resin to bind the composite particles dispersed in the decorative film. Content of the nickel is in a range of 0.5 to 30.0 mass % relative to the silver.

The present invention provides a decorative sheet (20A) that has at least one of visual solidity and solidity by a sense of touch. The decorative sheet (20A) includes a picture pattern layer (2) formed on a sheet base material (1), a first front surface protecting layer (3a) formed on the picture pattern layer (2), a second front surface protecting layer (4a) partially formed on the first front surface protecting layer (3a), and a third front surface protecting layer (5) partially formed on the second front surface protecting layer (4a). The first front surface protecting layer (3a) and the second front surface protecting layer (4a) have different glosses. The third front surface protecting layer (5) coats an area 75% or less of the second front surface protecting layer (4a). The third front surface protecting layer (5) has a thickness four times or more of a thickness of the second front surface protecting layer (4a).

Disclosed are a multilayer coating film made from a natural material and a method of producing the same. The multilayer coating film may be produced by forming a multilayer coating film through formation of a color coating film for providing adhesion and color to a cork on the cork material and a clear coating film for realizing texture and supplementing properties on the color coating film. As such, the multilayer coating film may be made from a natural material to diversify the color and gloss of cork as a natural material, to additionally increase marketability of an interior material and provide various appearance, to prevent discoloration due to light (e.g. UV light.) and water permeation, and to enhance durability against abrasion, scratches and the like.

The invention relates to a co-extruded film comprising a sealing layer of low density polyethylene and a skin layer, wherein the skin layer comprises a copolyamide which comprises: At least 75 wt % monomeric units derived from caprolactam; Between 5 to 25 wt % monomeric units derived from a diamine and terephthalic acid; wherein the weight percentage is with respect to the total weight of copolyamide in the skin layer. The invention also relates to a process for preparing such a film, as well as applications of the film.

Lustrous print media include: a lustrous metallic core substrate; a base layer disposed on the lustrous metallic core substrate; and an image-receiving layer disposed on the base layer. A method of fabricating the lustrous print media and a method for printing on the lustrous print media are also provided.

The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive label for use in a cold transfer process that can be used for garment identification and labeling. The pressure sensitive label can be applied on textile surface or any other surfaces for which heat transfer is unfavorable or unavailable. The pressure sensitive label can remain on the substrate to which it is attached through repeated washing and drying cycles.

An adhesive film for metal terminal, which is to be interposed between a metal terminal electrically connected to an electrode of a power storage device element and a power storage device packaging material for sealing the power storage device element, wherein the adhesive film for metal terminal includes a laminate including at least an acid-modified polyolefin layer for forming a metal terminal-facing surface and a polyolefin layer for forming a power storage device packaging material-facing surface, and a ratio of arithmetic surface roughness RaA (m) of the metal terminal-facing surface of the acid-modified polyolefin layer to arithmetic surface roughness RaB (m) of the power storage device packaging material-facing surface of the polyolefin layer satisfies the relationship: RaA/RaB>1.2.
