A footwear includes an upper part attached to a sole. The upper part is formed by at least two footwear defining parts. The at least two footwear defining parts include a vamp and a quarter. At least one of the at least two footwear defining parts are formed by a leather laminate. The leather laminate is formed as a composite laminate having a leather layer laminated to a reinforcing fabric via an adhesive. The leather layer is at least a part of an outer surface of the footwear.

A leather laminate composite includes a leather layer and reinforcing fabric laminated together via an adhesive. The adhesive includes water vapor passages.

The present invention relates to a bidirectional low tearing strength spacer textile using warp knitting, more particularly, relates to a spacer textile comprising a surface textile layer, a rear surface textile layer, and a spacer thread connecting the textile layers, wherein the surface textile layer and the rear surface textile layer include a main thread provided with a plurality of open loops formed with openings in a longitudinal direction.

Disclosed herein are plaster boards that include first and second layers of hardened plaster material, a liner attached to the first layer of hardened plaster material, and a first material (e.g., a polymer material such as a viscoelastic polymer) adhered between the liner and the second layer of hardened plaster material. The liner includes one or more structurally weakened regions each extending substantially from a first edge to a second opposing edge of the plaster board. The structurally weakened regions of the liner may facilitate creation of a fissure that propagates substantially within a plane within the plaster board. Methods for making the plaster boards may involve drying wet plaster material while it is in contact with a liner having structurally weakened regions, processing a liner to form its structurally weakened regions while in contact with wet plaster material, or processing a liner to form its structurally weakened regions while in contact with hardened plaster material.

The invention comprises a fracture film for sealing a peelable membrane to a container comprising a first layer of high density polyethelene, a second layer of polybutene-1/ethylene-vinyl acetate, wherein the second layer is bonded to the first layer, and a third layer of ethylene-acrylic acid, wherein the third layer is bonded to the second layer.

A readily tearable co-extruded multilayer barrier film being a multilayer film formed from at least three layers, the readily tearable co-extruded multilayer barrier film comprising a layered body having a barrier layer (I) containing a polar resin (a) as a main component, and an adhesive layer (II) and an adhesive layer (III) laminated on both sides adjacent to the barrier layer (I), the adhesive layer (II) and the adhesive layer (III) each at least containing a modified polyolefin-based resin (b) modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof, and a cyclic olefin-based resin (c).

The invention relates to a composite film (1), preferably intended for use in the construction industry and/or preferably for use as a construction film, having at least one functional layer (2), at least one outer protective layer (3) and at least one inner protective layer (4), the functional layer (2) being arranged between the outer protective layer (3) and the inner protective layer (4). According to the invention, it is provided that the functional layer (2) is formed as at least a single-layer membrane layer, that the outer protective layer (3) and the inner protective layer (4) are formed as a nonwoven layer comprising a polyolefin, and that the outer protective layer (3) and/or the inner protective layer (4) comprises at least one bicomponent fiber (5) having a first component (6) and a second component (7), the first component (6) comprising a first polymer and the second component (7) comprising a second polymer as constituent.

A membrane used in waterproofing and roofing applications, the membrane comprising a barrier layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer component and a contact layer bonded to at least portion of the barrier layer, the contact layer comprising a mixture of a solid filler component and a thermoplastic polymer component. The disclosure is also directed to a method for producing the membrane, a method for waterproofing a substrate, a waterproofed construction, a method for sealing a substrate against water penetration, and a sealed construction for sealing a substrate against water penetration.

The invention relates to a multilayer film, especially sealing film, suitable as food packaging, especially as packaging for food containers, drinks capsules, coffee capsules or the like, wherein the film consists of at least one first layer and at least one second layer, wherein at least one of the layers of the film is a biodegradable and home-compostable plastic.

A packaged food that includes a sealed bag defining therein a sealed cavity containing a food, the sealed bag being formed from a flexible packaging film that includes a monoaxially oriented polymeric layer defining a preferential tear direction extending along the film; wherein the packaging film is configured to form first and second elongate tear-away portions of the sealed bag which are on opposite sides of, and adjacent to, an elongate central portion of the sealed bag, the first and second elongate tear-away portions and the elongate central portion extending along the preferential tear direction, whereby tearing away of the first and second elongate tear-away portions along the preferential tear direction to open the sealed bag leaves the elongate central portion forming a handle portion of the opened bag.
