A cover board and roofing system including a cover board are disclosed. In one embodiment, the cover board includes a honeycomb layer positioned between a first face sheet and a second face sheet. The honeycomb layer comprises a honeycomb structure having a plurality of partition walls forming a plurality of cells. When the cover board is applied as part of a roof structure, including an insulation layer and a roof deck below the cover board, the roof structure exceeds requirements for Very Severe Hail Resistance according to the FM Approvals FM 4470 VSH impact resistance testing standard for Single-Ply, Polymer-Modified Bitumen Sheet, Built-Up Roof (BUR) and Liquid Applied Roof Assemblies.

The invention relates to a filtering material permeable to air and impermeable to oral, nasal and/or ocular human liquid aqueous excretions, comprising at least one bundle, referred to as a hydrophobic bundle, of at least two hydrophobic sheets which are superimposed and each formed by porous paper, having a gsm substance less than 30 g/m.sup.2, each hydrophobic sheet being formed by cellulose fibres, referred to as cross-linked cellulose fibres, which are connected to each other by hydrogen bonds and by covalent bonds which are formed with at least one group of cross-linking atoms, characterised in that at least some of the hydroxyls of the cross-linked cellulose fibres which are not engaged in hydrogen bonds and which are accessible to the gases form a covalent bond with an acyl group with a hydrophobic chain.

The invention provides a process for manufacturing a dynamically warm-keeping garment with a one-way moisture transferring function. The warm-keeping garment is made of a one-way moisture transferring fabric that includes a surface layer, a warm-keeping layer and a lining layer or includes the surface layer, a first warm-keeping layer, an intermediate interlayer, a second warm-keeping layer and the lining layer. The above technical solution addresses the following problems of traditional warm-keeping cotton clothes and down jackets: temperature loss caused by unsmooth sweat discharge; complex and difficult processing due to underarm zippers for venlilation; static damage and possible explosion of washing machines by air pressure due to air tightness during washing.

An interior material of a vehicle includes: a fabric layer made of a tricoat fabric, a foam layer disposed on a lower surface of the fabric layer, and an antifouling layer disposed at least between an upper surface of the fabric layer or the fabric layer and the foam layer. The tricoat fabric includes a combination of at least one of a polyurethane yarn, a high-elongation polyester yarn, or a polyester yarn.

Upper components for footwear include: (a) a first upper component that includes a first layer having a first material as a first filament including first plural, non-intersecting, spaced apart path segments (wherein the first filament has a width dimension of less than 3 mm wide (and in some examples, less than 2 mm wide, less than 1.5 mm wide, less than 1 mm wide, or even less than 0.75 mm wide)); and (b) a second upper component including a fabric element formed at least in part of a fusible material, wherein the fusible material of the second upper component is fused to the first material of the first upper component (e.g., in an adhesive-free manner). Additional layers of material, including additional layers including filament and/or fabric elements, e.g., of the types described above, may be included in the upper.

An acidic gas separation membrane sheet causes an acidic gas to selectively permeate therethrough. The acidic gas separation membrane sheet includes a first porous layer, a hydrophilic resin composition layer, and a second porous layer in this order. A second peel strength between the second porous layer and the hydrophilic resin composition layer is less than a first peel strength between the first porous layer and the hydrophilic resin composition layer. An average value of the second peel strength is within a range of greater than or equal to 5 N/m and less than or equal to 500 N/m.

Provided are certain cellulose ester compositions which serve as improved anti-tack additives for various thermoplastic polymers, in applications such as woven and non-woven fibers, laminates including the composition, fabrics including the composition, apparel and garments, textiles including the composition, etc.

The invention relates to a polymeric fabric comprising an outer functional layer having hydrophobic and oleophobic characteristics made of a first compound, and a second functional layer having hydrophobic characteristics made of a second compound, wherein the first and the second compound differ from each other. Further the outer functional layer at least partly coats the second layer. Additionally, the invention relates to a method of producing a polymeric fabric and an apparatus for producing a polymeric fabric.

A wound dressing is provided. The wound dressing includes a moisture-transmissible backing layer having a first major surface, a second major surface, and a backing layer perimeter; an absorbent hydrophilic adhesive adhered to at least a portion of the second major surface of the backing layer, the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive comprising an absorbent hydrophilic adhesive perimeter; an antimicrobial agent disposed in the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive; a porous layer having a first side adhered to the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive, a second side, and a porous layer perimeter; and a second hydrophobic adhesive adhered to the second side of the porous layer. The second major surface has a first hydrophobic adhesive disposed thereon proximate the backing layer perimeter. 100% of the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive perimeter is overlapped by the backing layer. At least 50% of the porous layer perimeter is overlapped by the absorbent hydrophilic adhesive.

A pad holder includes a base panel. The base panel includes a panel perimeter edge that defines a panel face. A lip material is connected to the panel face at a connection. A lip of the lip material extends from the connection towards a center of the panel face. The lip includes a lip perimeter edge, and the lip, panel face, and the connection collectively define an envelope. The envelope includes an opening defined by the lip perimeter edge. The envelope is sized to receive a liquid absorbent pad where the lip overlaps edges of the liquid absorbent pad when the liquid absorbent pad is disposed within the envelope.
