A glass substrate comprises a glass clad layer fused to a glass core layer. The glass core layer comprises a core glass composition having an average core coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE.sub.core) and the glass clad layer comprises a clad glass composition having an average clad coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE.sub.clad) that is less than the CTE.sub.core. A maximum tensile stress in the glass core layer is less than 15 MPa.

A method of recycling laminated fabrics and laminated fabric products and producing new laminated fabrics and laminated fabric products includes the steps of shredding scrap or used laminated fabric material, melt separating the polymers, pelletizing the melt separated polymers, extruding the pelletized material with at least one virgin material to form a film, and laminating the film to a nonwoven material to form a new laminated fabric. The scrap or recycled laminated fabric products can include plastic/polymer materials having different melting temperatures. The new laminated fabric can be utilized to produce new products, such as protective covers.

Provided is a label assembly having a top film and base film with first edges and opposite second edges. Graphics may be placed on the top film. The base film may be adhered to the top film such that the top and base films include an offset portion and an opposite underhang portion. The offset portion and the underhang portion may engage to create an offset butt seam along the length of the films and form a generally tubular shaped label assembly configured to be slid or wrapped around a cylindrical shaped object. The offset butt seam may be contiguous about the perimeter of the label assembly. Alternatively, the base film with a first edge and an opposite second edge may be abutted against one another and held together with a seaming ribbon placed along an inner surface of the film adjacent to the first edge and second edge.

Heat de-bondable adhesive articles include a heat-shrinkable optical substrate with optically clear adhesive disposed on the two major surfaces of the heat-shrinkable substrate. Optical articles can be prepared by disposing the heat de-bondable adhesive articles between two optical substrates. Other optical articles can be prepared by disposing an optically clear adhesive layer and a heat-shrinkable optical substrate on an optical substrate.

An in-mold foamed molded product unit may include an in-mold foamed molded product made of a thermoplastic resin, and an insert material. At least a portion of the insert material may be embedded in the in-mold foamed molded product. The insert material may have a frame-like shape that is substantially rectangular shape and includes a first set of opposite sides and a second set of opposite sides. A portion of the insert material that corresponds to the first set of opposite sides may be a first extending portion, and a portion of the insert material that corresponds to the second set of opposite sides may be a second extending portion. The first extending portion may be substantially entirely embedded in the in-mold foamed molded product, and the second extending portion may include an exposed portion that is exposed to the outside of the in-mold foamed molded product.

The invention provides a nonwoven laminate, comprising in order (A) to (E): a spunbond nonwoven layer (A) comprising fibres, which comprise polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and copolyester; an optional spunbond nonwoven layer (B) comprising fibres, which comprise polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and copolyester, the nonwoven layer (B) having a higher copolyester content than nonwoven layer (A); a needled staple fibre nonwoven layer (C), comprising: monocomponent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) staple fibres (c1), and multicomponent staple fibres (c2), which comprise at least a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) component and a copolyester component; an optional spunbond nonwoven layer (D) comprising fibres, which comprise polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and copolyester, the nonwoven layer (D) having a higher copolyester content than nonwoven layer (E); a spunbond nonwoven layer (E) comprising fibres, which comprise polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and copolyester; wherein all layers are melt-bonded to each other.

This method for producing a resin film includes the following: preparing, as a starting material, at least either a film label that includes an ink layer and a resin layer or a resin bottle to which the film label is fitted; recovering a thermoplastic resin having a specific gravity of less than 1 from the starting material; and obtaining a resin film having a specific gravity of less than 1 by extrusion molding, while having a molding material contain the recovered thermoplastic resin, wherein the recovering includes the following: dividing the starting material or the resin layer into individual pieces; removing the ink layer from the film label or each piece of the film label; and subjecting the starting material, the resin layer or pieces of the starting material or the resin layer to specific gravity separation.

Provided is a shoe including an upper composed of a fiber sheet, the fiber sheet including: a base sheet including yarns having heat shrinkability; and a plurality of chip members, each of which is a sheet having an area smaller than that of the base sheet, the base sheet and the plurality of chip members being layered and joined together.
