A process for the coating a substrate with a microporous layer includes at least incorporation by mixing of at least one physical and/or chemical blowing agent into an elastomer mixture, shaping of the elastomer mixture including the physical and/or chemical blowing agent by means of a calender or of a roller-head system, and application of the calendered elastomer mixture including the physical and/or chemical blowing agent to a substrate to be coated. Further, heating and blowing of the coating including the physical and/or chemical blowing agent is then provided by means of at least one heat source. In some cases, the blowing agent is composed of microspheres, which in some embodiments, may be present in non-expanded form. In some aspects, the heating and blowing of the coating directly follows the application procedure. The heat source may be an infrared source, such as a ceramic source.

Gaskets, including aircraft gaskets, are disclosed, the gaskets having an elastomeric gel body and substantially incompressible skeletons. The bodies may be pliable and deformable and, in one example, may be comprised of a two-part chemically cured polyurethane that sets up as a gel after mixing with the web so that it is fully integral with the web and so that there is substantially no air bubbles or air pockets left in the web. The web may be a regular shaped web and made of nylon.

Examples include a machine for producing a multi-layer product having a dry film applied to a carrier substrate. A carrier substrate web is provided to an application stage where a first dry film of powdered material is applied to a side of the carrier substrate. The carrier substrate web having the dry film on at least one side is then fed to a product winder to produce a product roll. A dancer roller and/or a positively driven draw roller are arranged between a location where the carrier substrate web unwound from a reel and an entry into an application gap of the application stage, and/or a dancer roller and/or a positively driven draw roller are arranged between where the substrate emerges from a last application gap of the application stage and a location at which the winding of the carrier substrate web onto the product roll takes place.

A polyvinyl chloride synthetic leather without a foaming structure and a method for producing the same are provided. The polyvinyl chloride synthetic leather includes a base fabric layer and a top fabric layer. The top fabric layer is formed of a fabric composition that includes a polyvinyl chloride resin and a polymer plasticizer. The polymer plasticizer is formed from a dibasic acid raw material and a diol raw material through a polycondensation reaction, and is end-capped by an end-capped fatty acid. A chemical structure of the end-capped fatty acid has a long carbon chain (C8 to C22). An end of the long carbon chain has a carboxyl group, and another end thereof does not have any carboxyl group. A residual amount of the diol raw material in the polymer plasticizer is less than 300 ppm. An acid value of the polymer plasticizer is less than 1 mg KOH/g.

A fabric containing carbon fibers impregnated with a silicone, polyurethane or acrylic emulsion which is then dried together with the fabric is disclosed. A protective layer containing a film, a woven or non-woven fabric is applied onto one side of the fabric.

Building panels with a homogenous decorative surface having a wear layer comprising fibers, binders and wear resistant particles.

A method for manufacturing a layered product providing a base sheet (1) with one surface (4) and another, opposite surface (5), applying a first layer (2) of elastomeric material to the one surface (4) of the base sheet (1), said first layer (2) being a premanufactured foil of elastomeric material manufactured by being calendered, and applying a second layer (3) of elastomeric material to the other surface (5) of the base sheet (1), said second layer (3) being fabricated by liquid coating performed by a liquid material being passed from a vessel (14) containing the liquid material directly to the base sheet (1), or indirectly to the base sheet (1) via a liner (19). The disclosure also relates to a brake shim and to a gasket, each of which constituting a layered product according to the disclosure and being manufactured by the method according to the disclosure.

A method for producing linerless non-top coated thermal printable material. The method includes preparing thermal printable material by receiving base printable material, wherein base printable material being 75% w/w to 85% w/w of linerless non-top coated thermal printable material; applying heat-resistant material on base printable material, wherein heat-resistant material being 12% w/w to 18% w/w of linerless non-top coated thermal printable material; applying heat-sensitive material on heat-resistant material to produce thermal printable material, wherein heat-sensitive material being 3% w/w to 7% w/w of linerless non-top coated thermal printable material; and subjecting thermal printable material to supercalendering operation, supercalendering operation comprising passing thermal printable material through at least two calender rolls at temperature ranging from 30 C. to 80 C. rolling at speed ranging from 150 m/min to 500 m/min at pressure ranging from 50 bar to 120 bar to obtain linerless non-top coated thermal printable material.

An article such as a multilayer hose including an a polyacrylic elastomer (ACM) layer directly bonded to an epichlorohydrin elastomer (ECO) layer without an intervening adhesive layer. The ACM layer is formed from an ACM-based elastomeric composition including at least one polymer having one or more acrylate monomer(s), in which the at least one polymer includes chlorine cure-sites; and a triazine cure system that vulcanizes the ACM-based composition via at least the chlorine cure-sites. The ECO layer is formed from an ECO-based elastomeric composition including at least one polymer having epichlorohydrin monomer, in which the at least one polymer includes chlorine cure-sites; and a triazine cure system that vulcanizes the ECO-based composition via at least the chlorine cure-sites. The ACM layer and the ECO layer are directly bonded together by co-vulcanization with the triazine cure systems activating at least the chlorine cure-sites of the ACM-based and ECO-based elastomeric compositions.

A method for manufacturing a composite airtight layer (20) used in the composition of a tire (30) comprises: a film (21) made of thermoplastic material is heated such that the film is able to plastically deform; the film is deformed (120) with the aid of corrugating means, the thickness of the film (21) being in a range from 0.01 to 0.2 mm, and the film having corrugations with a pitch and amplitude chosen in a range from 0.1 to 10 mm so as to give the film a given elongation capacity; the film is cooled such that the corrugated film is no longer able to be plastically deformed; and the corrugated film is coated in a matrix (22) of elastomer material, so as to form a composite airtight layer (20).
