The present disclosure is directed to a film formulation that resulted in a substantially non-migratory cold seal release film with improved blocking resistance. Specifically, the multilayered biaxially oriented polypropylene film can include a core layer of polypropylene homopolymer; a first outer layer on one side of the core layer that can be suitable for sealing, printing, or coating; and a second outer layer on the opposite side of the core layer that is a blocking resistant layer comprising thermoplastic polymers which reduce blocking tendency.

A double-layer polyester film is of a structure having upper and lower layers. Each of the upper and lower layers comprises a copolyester and an additional resin, and is a uniform mixture of the copolyester and the additional resin. The copolyester comprises SiO.sub.2 having a mass fraction of 800-2000 ppm added by means of in-situ polymerization. The copolyester is a PET polyester modified by copolymerization of isophthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and neopentyl glycol. The polyester film has thinner thickness, good thermal adhesion with a metal sheet, excellent resistance to deep drawing and complex deformation processing, and excellent corrosion resistance, and can be widely used in metal packaging industry.

A curable matrix resin composition containing a thermoset resin component and metastable thermoplastic particles, wherein the metastable thermoplastic particles are particles of semi-crystalline thermoplastic material with an amorphous polymer fraction that will undergo crystallization upon heating to a crystallization temperature T.sub.c. A fiber-reinforced polymeric composite material containing metastable thermoplastic particles is also disclosed.

Films may be used as interleaves between hard and non-compressible surfaces such as surfaces of sheets or plates made of glass, metal, such as steel, polycarbonate, and/or poly(methyl methacrylate). The films may be embossed and/or may include a foamed core layer having a plurality of micro-voids. In particular, the films may include a polyolefin, a basis weight of between about 30 gsm and about 70 gsm, an embossed thickness of between about 150 microns and 800 microns, and a stiffness of between about 150 grams and about 750 grams according to the Circular Bend Stiffness Test.

Disclosed are a polyester thin film and a coated metal plate. The polyester thin film is a single-layer structure prepared from chips of a specific copolyester by means of a biaxial stretching method or a casting method, wherein the specific copolyester comprises SiO.sub.2 in an amount of 800-2000 ppm by mass added by means of in situ polymerization, and the specific copolyester is a PET polyester resulting from copolymerization modification with isophthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and neopentyl glycol. The coated metal plate comprises a metal substrate and the polyester thin film. The polyester thin film has high food safety characteristics, along with many advantages such as excellent thermal adhesion with a metal plate, excellent deep-drawing processing and complex deformation processing properties, and excellent corrosion resistance, and can be widely used in the medium-to-high end metal packaging industry.

Disclosed is a blended polyester thin film, comprising a copolyester and a homopolyester. The thin film is composed of upper, middle, and lower layers. Each of the three layers is a homogeneous mixture of the copolyester and the homopolyester. The copolyester comprises 800-2000 ppm by mass of SiO.sub.2 added by means of in-situ polymerization. A dihydric alcohol component in the copolyester comprises ethylene glycol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and 1,4-butanediol. The melting point of the copolyester is between 200-240° C. The blended polyester film of the present invention has excellent processability, excellent chemical resistance, such as acid and alkali resistance, and excellent uniformity. A film-coated metal plate prepared from the blended polyester thin film can meet performance requirements of metal containers for food and beverage packaging with complex molding processing and high corrosion resistance.

The invention relates to a panel and a method for producing a panel. The panel is in particular a floor, wall or ceiling panel, and comprises at least one core layer, the core layer comprising an upper core surface and a lower core surface and at least one pair of opposite side edges; wherein the core layer comprises magnesium oxide cement and fibres dispersed in said magnesium oxide cement.

A cellulose membrane according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a self-supporting cellulose membrane having a thickness of between 20 nm and 1300 nm, inclusive, composed of regenerated cellulose having a weight average molecular weight of 150,000 or more.
