This invention relates to inner-plies for bulk-bags that surprisingly offer not only high thermal resistance, but also high flex-crack resistance. This invention also relates to such bulk-bags made for packaging of flowable materials, aseptic or otherwise, and the process for improving their flex-crack and thermal resistance. Preferably, the packaging is aseptic. More specifically, the inner-ply of the invention comprises a resin blend comprising the Exceed® XP resin; an LDPE resin or an ethylene—α-olefin copolymer (EAO copolymer); or a blend of said LDPE resin and said EAO copolymer, with flex-crack resistance improved in both machine direction and transverse direction, in conjunction with an improved thermal resistance. Thus, in addition to possessing good flex-crack resistance, the bulk-bags can withstand steam sterilization and/or aseptic packaging conditions.

An improved fabric backing for the manufacture of glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels that exhibits significantly greater foam adhesion than its scrim counterpart. That fabric backing includes a plurality of looped section extending upwardly (and inwardly) from its base for enhancing adhesion thereto. The combination is subjected to lamination for making an improved glass-reinforced thermoplastic interior wall panel. That wall panel can be used in a storage unit, such as a refrigerated trailer, railcar, shipping container and/or box truck.

The invention relates to a thermally insulated transport container with a housing for forming a space for goods, with walls and a thermal insulation abutting the walls as well as a wall structure of such a container. In particular, the invention relates to such a container as an air cargo container. According to the invention, sandwich plastic plates are provided as walls, with a honeycomb core welded on both sides to one covering ply, respectively, the honeycomb core and the covering plies consisting of a thermoplastic material, preferably PP. In this case, the walls are, in particular, a thermoplastic sandwich panel, consisting substantially of a PP (polypropylene) honeycomb core and PP covering layers, in particular glass-fiber reinforced, which are, with regard to the materials, homogenously connected to each other by thermally fused connection. Such plates are offered, for example, by Wihag Composites GmbH & Co. KG under the trademark MonoPan®, which are preferred in this case. The use of thermoplastic material makes it possible for adjacent sandwich plastic plates to be attached to each other by welding, particularly in the region of the edges. In particular, it is thus possible to produce largely frameless and thus lighter transport containers.

Disclosed is a heat-insulation system for a liquefied natural gas cargo hold, which comprises a primary sealing wall, a secondary sealing wall, and a secondary heat-insulating layer, and is applied to a liquefied natural gas cargo hold. The heat-insulation system for a liquefied natural gas cargo hold comprises a collar stud installed on a line on the upper surface of the secondary heat-insulating layer where an anchor strip is installed.

An insulated tank for storing flammable and combustible liquid comprises an outer containment tank and an inner storage tank that defines a reservoir for storing flammable and combustible liquid. The inner storage tank is received within the outer containment tank such that a space is defined between the walls of the inner storage tank and the walls of the outer containment tank. The space contains one or more perlite boards to insulate the inner tank.

The disclosure is directed to a connector assembly mechanically interconnecting first and second structural entities of an aircraft container. The connector assembly has first and second connector parts fastened to the first and second structural entities, respectively. In a connected state, relative movement of the second connector part is restricted with respect to the first connector part in a first direction along a first axis of action. The connector assembly has a force-limiting arrangement in a connected state that limits relative movement of the second connector part with respect to the first connector part in a second direction opposite to the first direction. When an external force is applied to the second connector part and the external force has a first force component acting in the second direction and exceeding a threshold force the force-limiting arrangement allows the second connector part to move relative to the first connector part.

The invention relates to a container and a lower and an upper construction element each including a first surface, and a second surface. The surfaces are arranged at a distance from one another, forming a space wherein at least one non-concrete composite bar and a metal component is arranged. Concrete is arranged in the space between the first surface, the second surface, and the composite bars.

A construction element includes a first wall, and a second wall. The walls are arranged at a distance from one another, forming a space wherein at least one sheet component is arranged, and where the sheet component is arranged to the first wall and to the second wall, and where concrete is arranged in the space between the first wall, the second wall, and the sheet component.

A sectional panel tank comprises one or more side wads that are joined together in forming the sectional panel tank. One of the side wall comprises a first unit panel having a first extension at a first edge of the first unit panel and a second unit panel having a second extension at a second edge of the second unit panel. By combing the second extension to the second extension, the second unit panel is joined to the first unit panel for providing a continuous surface of the side wall. No gasket is needed between the first extension and the second extension. A method of making the sectional panel tank is also disclosed. A method of making prefabricated unit panels with lining sheets is further disclosed for the sectional panel tank.

A composite molded cargo body panel including a core, an interior skin secured to a first side of the core having a thickness, and exterior skin secured to a second side of the core, and a plurality of recesses. The plurality of recesses are dispersed along a first direction at intervals in the interior skin, with the core thickness at each of the plurality of recesses being reduced compared to a maximum core thickness, and each of the plurality of recesses defines a support surface. A pocket is formed in each of the plurality of recesses, with the core thickness at the pocket being less than the core thickness at each of the plurality of recesses. A plurality of logistics inserts are attached to the respective support surfaces of the plurality of recesses so that, at each of the plurality of recesses, the logistics insert extends across the pocket.
