A method of making a thermoplastic road marking material includes using a flaking device to form thermoplastic flakes from a cooled mixture. A method of marking a pavement includes melting the thermoplastic flakes and applying the melted composition to a roadway by screeding, extruding or spraying.

Described herein are compositions and methods relating to thermoplastic pavement marking flake or flakes.

The present disclosure relates to stranded elastomeric laminates (including bi-laminates and tri-laminates) comprising beamed elastics and may have inventive Dtex-to-Nonwoven-Basis-Weight-Ratios, Dtex-to-Spacing-Ratios, and/or Void-Area-to-Strand-Area-Ratios. The stranded laminates of the present disclosure may be used for disposable absorbent article components (including pant belts) and may comprise inventive bonding arrangements that yield inventive textures and texture arrangements. When the inventive stranded elastomeric laminates are used for pant belts, the pants may have inventive Application-Forces, Sustained-Fit-Load-Forces, and Sustained-Fit-Unload-Forces. Further, when absorbent articles are packaged under compression at inventive In-Bag-Stack-Heights, the stranded elastomeric laminates of the present disclosure maintain their inventive properties and characteristics, including their inventive textures.

The disclosure relates to a method for producing a container comprising a bottom, a sidewall, a neck and at least one profiled structure on the neck, wherein a material of the container comprises fibers, for example pulp, wherein the method comprises: producing a blank of the container from the material, wherein the blank comprises the bottom, the sidewall and the neck, and subsequently arranging the at least one profiled structure on the neck of the blank. The disclosure further relates to a device for carrying out the method comprising a molding device for producing the blank of the container from the material, wherein the blank comprises the bottom, the sidewall and the neck, and a arrangement device for arranging the at least one profiled structure on the neck of the blank.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a flexible skin which has at least one insert adhered thereto. In a first step, the skin is molded on a mold surface. In order to adhere the insert to the skin, an opening is first made in the skin giving access to the back face of the insert. The insert is positioned with its back face against the front face of the skin and an adhering layer is provided which is adhesively connected to the back face of the skin layer which surrounds the opening in the skin layer and, through this opening, to the back face of the insert. The adhering layer is preferably produced by applying a layer of a hardenable material, in particular a curable polyurethane composition. Since the back face of the insert engages the front side of the skin penetration of hardenable material to the front face of the insert is avoided.

The disclosure relates to a component device, in particular for a primary supporting component of an aircraft, the component device having a first component element, a second component element, a bonding providing a connection between the first component element and the second component element, and a detector device having at least one interior space sensor device configured to measure a change in a pressure and/or a concentration of a gas surrounding the interior space sensor device. The first component element, the second component element, and the bonding confine an interior space. The interior space sensor device is arranged in the interior space.

The present disclosure relates to stranded elastomeric laminates (including bi-laminates and tri-laminates) comprising beamed elastics and may have inventive Dtex-to-Nonwoven-Basis-Weight-Ratios, Dtex-to-Spacing-Ratios, and/or Void-Area-to-Strand-Area-Ratios. The stranded laminates of the present disclosure may be used for disposable absorbent article components (including pant belts) and may comprise inventive bonding arrangements that yield inventive textures and texture arrangements. When the inventive stranded elastomeric laminates are used for pant belts, the pants may have inventive Application-Forces, Sustained-Fit-Load-Forces, and Sustained-Fit-Unload-Forces. Further, when absorbent articles are packaged under compression at inventive In-Bag-Stack-Heights, the stranded elastomeric laminates of the present disclosure maintain their inventive properties and characteristics, including their inventive textures.

Nozzle assemblies and methods of bonding fabric by jetting an adhesive are disclosed. A method of bonding fabrics with an adhesive includes receiving the adhesive from an adhesive supply into a nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly has a valve seat, a valve stem configured to slidably move towards and away from the valve seat, and a plurality of outlet channels. The method further includes jetting the adhesive from the plurality of outlet channels onto a first fabric and applying a second fabric to the first fabric to adhere the first and second fabrics to each other.

Disclosed is a method to form arbitrarily shaped, uniform, lightweight, thermally insulating and acoustically absorptive automotive components with controllable density, thickness, porosity, and surface integrity. The method is based on natural cellulosic fibers such as those found in cardboard and paper and uses a thermoplastic fiber and particle slurry to form fusible components. The method produces components having the benefit of commercially available thermoformed fiber mats or open-cell extruded foam components with excellent acoustical properties, enhanced thermal insulation, and are light weight, which limits engine inefficiency, and the high cost of such parts so as to allow large scale implementation.

A fiber composite component assembly (100) includes a fiber composite component (3) including a base material and a fiber material, and a tolerance compensation layer (5) for joining the fiber composite component (3) to a further component (1), the tolerance compensation layer (5) including a fiber composite portion (17) and/or a further layer portion (7). A fiber composite component system (200) including a fiber composite component assembly (100) and a further component (1) joined to the fiber composite component assembly (100), as well as a method for producing a fiber composite component system (200), is also provided.
