A flexible laminate suitable for forming a package (10) having a reclosable flap (12) is provided that includes pressure sensitive adhesive (34) extending in a periphery region past a reseal margin (42) for the flap (12) and on an opposite side therefrom for joining an outer and inner layer (30, 36) of the laminate together, whether directly or indirectly. The pressure sensitive adhesive (34) can overlie a permanent adhesive (32) in the periphery region, or directly join the outer and inner layers of the laminate together. The use of pressure sensitive adhesive (34) in the region can reduce the tight registration needed for cutting the outer layer (30) to define an outward layer of the flap (12), thereby reducing the chances for cutting into a portion of the outer layer (30) joined only by permanent adhesive (32) to the inner layer (36).

The invention relates to an intermediate material (132) for the manufacture of composite components, having a prepreg layer (116) and an interleaving layer (120) made up of at least two sections of thermally joined thermoplastic interleaving material sections (120a, 120b). The invention also relates to a method of manufacture of such an intermediate material.

A laminated board includes a difficult-to-cut layer formed of a composite material including fibers and a resin material; and a pair of hard layers laminated on both top and bottom surfaces of the difficult-to-cut layer and formed of a hard material harder than the composite material of the difficult-to-cut layer. Each hard layer is formed of a composite material made of carbon fibers and a resin. The difficult-to-cut layer and the pair of hard layers are integrally molded. Furthermore, the resin included in the difficult-to-cut layer 11 and the resin included in the hard layers 12 are resins of the same type, and an epoxy-based resin is used.

Provided is a sticky cleaner whose adhesive face can be easily renewed and whish is less susceptible to roll-loosening. The sticky cleaner provided by this invention comprises a PSA tape having an adhesive face on the first face of a substrate. The PSA tape forms a PSA tape roll wound with the adhesive face on the outside. On the first face of the substrate, the PSA tape comprises a first layer formed of a PSA and a second layer formed of an acrylic viscoelastic material. The adhesive face comprises first sections where the first layer is exposed and second sections where the second layer is exposed. The second sections protrude further out of the PSA tape roll relative to the first sections. The PSA tape roll shows an unwinding force F.sub.0 at 0 C. and an unwinding force F.sub.30 at 30 C.

A flexible laminate structure for making a package and methods for constructing such flexible laminate structures are described that provide a peelable portion integral to the laminate structure. An inner ink layer may be printed on the peelable portion that includes a promotional offer, such as in the form of a barcode, where the inner ink layer is not visible to a consumer without first peeling the peelable portion off the package due to the presence of one or more blocker ink layers.

A method for manufacturing polymeric decorative panels includes, in order, the steps of a) inkjet printing an image on a first thermoplastic foil using an aqueous pigmented inkjet ink; b) applying a second thermoplastic foil on the inkjet printed image; c) heat pressing the first and second thermoplastic foils into a decorative laminate; and d) cutting the laminate into a decorative panel; wherein the aqueous pigmented inkjet ink contains polymeric resin particles and a self-dispersing colour pigment; and at least one of the first and second thermoplastic foils is a transparent foil.

Bridge tape comprised of thermally foamable composition, useful for applying coating material through holes in the tape to a substrate beneath the tape, after which the holes can be sealed by heating to cause the foamable composition to foam and expand the foam to seal the holes.

There is provided a laminate having a high adhesive strength between a polyethylene layer and a base material layer without using any anchor coat agent. A method for producing the laminate, including a step of extrusion laminating a resin composition including an ethylene-based polymer composition containing an ethylene-based polymer and a phosphorus-containing compound having a specific structure with a base material so that the resin composition and the base material directly contact each other, wherein the ethylene-based polymer contains at least one of a high-pressure processed low-density polyethylene and a copolymer of ethylene with an -olefin having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, and the ethylene-based polymer composition satisfies predetermined requirements.

The present invention relates to a storage container for liquids, comprising a liquid-tight tank with an upwardly directed opening, wherein the opening is closed in a leaktight fashion by a protective film comprising an outer layer and an inner layer, wherein the outer layer is an aluminium foil and the inner layer is a plastic film, wherein the outer layer can be removed from the storage container separately from the inner layer, and wherein the inner layer can be pierced by a hollow needle; an assembly comprising at least two storage containers according to the invention; and a method for producing the assembly according to the invention, comprising the steps of providing at least two storage containers according to the invention, and applying a continuous layer of an adhesive film on the outer layers of the protective films of the at least two storage containers.

A process for in-line extrusion of polymeric coatings onto roofing shingles during manufacturing includes moving a web of shingle substrate material in a downstream direction and extruding a liquefied coating of polymeric material onto at least one surface of the moving web to form a thin film. The liquefied coating may be a molten polymeric material that forms a thin film on a back surface of the shingle material to prevent sticking and eliminate the need for a traditional back dusting with material such as powdered stone. The polymeric film further may be applied to the substrate material in lieu of a saturation coating of asphalt, thus reducing cost and weight while providing a comparable moisture barrier and a lighter more flexible shingle.
