A glueless dustless composite flooring material system providing PVC-based flooring having layers providing different qualities of hardness, wear-resistance, sound deadening, and decorative patterns, avoiding the use of moisture-susceptible compressed dust filler, with layers fused together, avoiding the manufacturing complexity and delamination risks of using glue or adhesive, with a quickly-cured, UV-cured top coating providing long-lasting high performance and shortening and simplifying the manufacturing, which can be done in a sheet-form, essentially continuous-run manner, with an ability to quickly and simply change the optional design printing and texturing produced, and having an optional underlayment layer.

A device and method for handling fluids released during a procedure employs a floormat with opposing surfaces. The floormat is formed, at least in part, of compressible and resilient material. An absorbent sheet is attached to one of the opposing surfaces of the floormat. At least part of the absorbent sheet is stacked to extend peripherally beyond the floormat. The floormat and absorbent sheet are placed where a user is expected to stand during the procedure, and are stacked with at least part of the absorbent sheet extending beyond the floormat. A user stands atop the floormat and absorbent sheet during at least part of the procedure. During the procedure, fluids that fall onto the absorbent sheet are absorbed into it. The floormat and absorbent sheet are vacated and discarded before starting another procedure.

Disclosed in the present invention is a packaging composite material comprising polarizing films, the packaging composite material comprising: a polarizing layer, comprising two or more layers of polarizing film, wherein polarization directions of at least two layers of polarizing film have an included angle which is not 0°. The packaging composite material of the present invention has a simple structure, strong light-blocking properties, a high light-blocking rate, and a broad-spectrum light-blocking effect. Also disclosed in the present invention are the use of the packaging composite material in packaging, and the use of the packaging composite material in a label. When used as packaging or a label, the packaging composite material can extend the shelf life of products which need to be stored in the dark.

An insulating shoe insert including a core layer formed of a cellular material, and a top layer and a bottom layer bonded to opposing sides of the core layer, respectively, the top layer and the bottom layer being configured as thin sheets of aromatic polyamide material such that the top layer and bottom layer cooperate with the core layer to create a heat transfer resistance sufficient to resist transfer of heat through the core layer.

The present invention provides a resin composition containing an epoxy compound A having a specific structure having an aromatic ring, and having an epoxy equivalent in the range of from 500 to 10,000 g/eq, and an epoxy compound B having an epoxy equivalent in the range of from 100 to 300 g/eq, and a bonding agent containing the resin composition. Further, the present invention provides a cured product containing resin particles and a matrix resin, wherein the resin particles are a cured product of an epoxy compound A having a specific structure having an aromatic ring, and having an epoxy equivalent in the range of from 500 to 10,000 g/eq, and the matrix resin is a cured product of an epoxy compound B having an epoxy equivalent in the range of from 100 to 300 g/eq, and a laminate having a substrate and the cured product.

A decorative decal for altering the aesthetics of a barbeque grill, with the decal comprising a flexible and heat resistant substrate having a visually discernible aesthetic element on its first surface and an adhesive on its second surface, with the adhesive suitable for attaching the substrate to the outer surface of the barbeque grill; and a method of use of the decal.

An improved protected graphics assembly according to the invention comprises the following sequential layers: optionally, at least one adhesive layer; at least one graphics layer; and at least one outwardly exposed polymer layer that is essentially free of low surface energy materials and has a gloss value of greater than 90 when tested according to ASTM D2457-03 at a 60-degree angle. The assembly is beneficially applied to a variety of articles and used in a variety of related methods. In an exemplary embodiment, a race car comprises a protected graphics assembly that comprises: optionally, at least one adhesive layer; at least one outwardly exposed polymer layer that is essentially free of low surface energy materials; and at least one graphics layer substantially protected from exterior exposure by the polymer layer.

An ophthalmic lens operable to protect the eye from harmful ultraviolet and high energy visible wavelengths of light and methods for producing the same.

Closure device includes a closure cap, which can be screwed onto the threaded connection of a container, forming a fillable capsule that is open at the bottom, on which a seal directed downward is sealed. Upper side of the part of the closure cap which forms the capsule is designed to be deformable and can be pressed axially downward. A press element is molded on this cover of the closure cap at the bottom. By pressing the cover downward, the downward-directed seal of the capsule is broken open by the press element. Seal is made from a laminate comprising a carrier material with a thickness of at least 0.5 mm. Subsequently, a barrier film is sprayed or laminated on the carrier material. The crimping forms a circumferential edge, by means of which the seal can be sealed to the capsule edge, on the inner side of the carrier material, with respect to the capsule, and resting on same. The carrier material has pre-notches in the form of cuts, which approximately cut through the carrier material yet leave the attached films intact.

A composite stretch film for agricultural use is formed by bonding two stretch films together with an adhesive through hot rolling or UV curing such that primary stretch directions thereof cross each other. The composite stretch film of the present invention is significantly improved not only in transverse and longitudinal tensile strength but also in transverse and longitudinal tear strength. Therefore, it is able to meet the requirements for use in agriculture with a lesser thickness and hence reduce the use cost. In particular, in case of the composite stretch film being made of a polyester material, it further offers the advantages such as high-light transmittance which changes mildly with time, better thermal insulation properties and better humidity-regulating capabilities. In particular, in case of it being made of a degradable polyester materials, it will further offer profoundly significant benefits in terms of energy saving and environmental protection.
