A method for producing a foamed thermally crosslinked mass system, wherein the mass system is foamed at a first temperature in a first step, and crosslinker substances are added to the mass system in a subsequent step at a second temperature lower than the first temperature, wherein the crosslinker substances are crosslinker substances for thermal crosslinking of the mass system.

A method for making an expansion wall is provided. The method can include applying a matrix to a first ply and applying an expansion element to the surface of the matrix. A second ply is applied over the first ply to trap the matrix and expansion element therebetween. The applied expansion element is entrained into the applied matrix to provide an expansion material that is configured to expand to, and solidify in, an expanded condition upon activation.

A composition for producing a sheet material with a cellular structure, the composition including the following components: (a) about 5 to about 25 weight % gelatine, (b) about 25 to 60 weight % filler material, (c) about 15 to about 40 weight % water, and (d) a cellular structure promoting agent.

A fiber-reinforced resin composite having high peeling strength between a fiber-reinforced resin and a resin foam. The fiber-reinforced resin composite (10) is a fiber-reinforced resin composite (10) including a skin (11) and a resin foam (12), the resin foam including a foamed resin (16), the skin including a fiber sheet (14), a thermoplastic matrix resin (15), and the foamed resin (16) that is continuous from the resin foam and is impregnated into the skin.

Rigid foam-core construction underlayment is formed to have one broad side covered by a flexible substrate that carries a series of spaced-apart, discrete regions (such as islands or spaced lanes) of resin, each resin region carrying a respective field of male touch fastener elements extending away from the substrate and exposed for engagement, such as by fibers on an inner surface of exterior construction material, such as a roofing membrane.

A support element for a seat includes a body and a covering covering at least a portion of the body, the covering being made of a covering material. The body includes at least one portion having a plurality of discrete structural elements and a plurality of bonding fibers, the bonding fibers having a central core and a sheath covering the core, the sheath being made of a material that melts when subjected to a melting temperature, the body being overmolded onto at least a portion of the covering.

A structural insulation sheathing (SIS) comprises: a first upper facial member, a second lower facial member and an insulation member in intimate, planar contact with both the first upper member and second lower members. The first and second facial members are made from the same reinforcing fiber material less than about 3/16 inch thick. The insulation member comprises a foam layer, said structural insulation sheathing having at least 10×, preferably 15 to 20 times greater strength than its individual components.

The disclosure relates to a foamed floor with wood texture. It belongs to the technical field of co-extruded foam plate. It includes a foam matrix and a hard surface layer including (a) and (b); (a): a first exposed surface, a connecting substrate and a base layer formed by the first color resin; (b): a second exposed surface and a connecting substrate formed by the second color resin. The first exposed surface is composed of a plurality of exposed units, and the second exposed surface is composed of a plurality of sunken units. The exposed units and the sunken units are arranged alternately. A connecting unit is arranged between the adjacent exposed unit and the sunken unit, and it's composed of the connecting substrate and a connecting profile. The disclosure uses resin as a material, is based on two surface layers, and realizes the realistic effect of wood texture through some levels of expressions such as three-dimensional (depth of texture), color difference, brightness etc. It can also realize a variety of wood textures by adjusting the three-dimensional, chromatic aberration, and brightness.

Sheet-like composite parts are manufactured by: a) providing a substantially planar arrangement (A, B, A′) comprising a core layer (B) comprising a a fleece material made of fleece thermoplastic fibers and reinforcement fibers, sandwiched between a pair of skin layers (A, A′), each comprising a skin thermoplastic and optionally reinforcement fibers, one face of the core layer being adjacent and substantially parallel to a skin layer and a second face of the core layer being adjacent and substantially parallel to the other skin layer, b) heating and pressing the sandwich arrangement (A,B,A′) followed by cooling, thereby obtaining the composite part, wherein the compression strength of the composite part is improved with a core layer (B) which is a Z-oriented core layer having reinforcement fibers that are predominantly oriented in a direction (Z) perpendicular to the first and second faces, produced by multiple folding.
