The present invention relates to a method for producing an elastomeric grained skin which comprises at least an elastomeric skin layer and a coating layer overlying the skin layer. The skin has at least a portion which hasa grained surface, which comprises at least one elastomeric skin layer and which has at least one coating layer overlying the skin layer. To produce the skin a coating composition is applied onto at least a portion of a mould surface, which portion is grained, to produce said coating layer; and the elastomeric skin layer is moulded at least against a back side of said coating layer to produce said portion of the elastomeric skin. In order to accent the grain texture so that it stands out more clearly and so that the visibility thereof is less dependent on the direction of the incident light and the position of the viewer use is made of a coating composition which comprises effect pigment particles contained in a transparent or translucent medium.

A sole having a foam layer and a film layer. The foam layer is formed by mixing material A and material B. After the release agent is sprayed on the film layer, the raw material is filled in the cavity of the mold for baking insulation. The AB mixed raw material has emulsification reaction and is foamed, and the mold is filled and prepared. The present invention has the beneficial effects that: the sole according is mainly suitable for the sole of a slipper, lighter and more comfortable; a film is formed on the outer surface of the foam layer, so that the surface of the finished product is smoother, more beautiful, and higher in yield rate; in the preparation process, a shaking mode technology is adopted to reduce the shortage of materials and dark bubbles in the product and also reduce the amount of bubbles in the product.

A molding system and method, allowing for the repeated use of the same molding insert for purposes of elaborate objects molding is described. The proposed method allows for multiple moldings of intricate shapes and curvatures improving the mass production of the jewelry moldings. During the process, the raw molding material is squeezed through the narrow opening inside the mold form under pressure. As the molding material enters the mold form, it is coated with a coating fluid. After the curing, the molding material could be easily removed through a narrow cavity opening, promptly reassembling back to the shape of the insert for continuous use in the next steps of the molding procedure.

Extruded molds and methods for manufacturing composite structures using the extruded molds are disclosed. The molds may include recessed or raised longitudinal features to impart a corresponding shape to the molded composite structures. The composite structures may be panels used to construct cargo vehicles, for example.

A functional polymeric cutting edge structure and methods for the manufacturing cutting edge structures using polymeric materials are provided. A razor blade for use in a razor cartridge or a blade box for assembly in a razor cartridge frame may be formed using the present invention.

One or more marking elements that can he provided with an inscription are formed on a terminal block which can be mounted on a mounting base or support rail has a housing made of plastic and at least one conductor connections formed in the housing, One or more marking recesses are formed in the housing with each marking recess being designed for the application of a corresponding marking element. The terminal block with the housing is formed by an injection molding toot One or more free spaces are formed in the region of the one or more marking recesses. One or more free spaces are sprayed with a plastic in the region of the marking recesses, whereby one or more inscribable marking elements are formed on the housing.

Processes for in-mold coating of polymer substrates comprising: introducing a plastic substrate into a mold cavity of a mold; introducing a coating composition into the mold cavity containing the plastic substrate in order to coat the substrate, at processing temperature 50 C.-120 C., and at processing pressure 11,000 to 20,700 kPa; and curing the composition in the mold cavity at cure temperature of 62-105 C.; wherein the coating composition comprises a polymer comprising isocyanate-reactive groups; and a polyisocyanate, and wherein the coating composition has a viscosity of 200 to 500 mPa.Math.s at the processing temperature. Further embodiments include attaching electronic circuits, light emitting diodes and/or graphic images to the plastic substrate before coating.

The present invention relates to a trim component for covering an interior space of a means for transporting passengers, in particular a vehicle, wherein the trim component includes a compressed natural fiber composite element with at least one side that is visible from the interior space of the means for transporting passengers and that forms a natural fiber surface with a structure of natural fibers, and a protective varnish layer applied onto the natural fiber surface and surrounding the natural fibers, with the protective varnish layer being designed such that the structure of natural fibers can be felt. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such a trim component and a means for transporting passengers having such a trim component.

The present invention relates to a method for providing a multi-layered, hollow, chocolate figure with a print in edible colour preparation, comprising providing one half of a hollow, chocolate figure with one or more types of edible colour preparation by means of an elastic pad, characterised in that the printing takes place at a pressure of between 8 and 12 bar and wherein the figure is situated in a mould-half during printing.

Extruded molds and methods for manufacturing composite structures using the extruded molds are disclosed. The molds may include recessed or raised longitudinal features to impart a corresponding shape to the molded composite structures. The composite structures may be panels used to construct cargo vehicles, for example.
