A splicable environmentally-friendly non-PVC advertising cloth made of a woven structure, wherein the advertising cloth comprising a mesh base layer (40); a first adhesion-promoting structural layer (10), which is a refractory and waterproof layer covering the front surface (43) and the rear surface (44) of the mesh base layer (40); a second adhesion-promoting structural layer (20) coated on the first surface (13) of the first adhesion-promoting structure layer (10); and a third adhesion-promoting structural layer (30) coated on the upper surface (24) of the second adhesion-promoting structure layer (20), therefore, waterproof and ink-absorbing structure arranged on a mesh base (40) layer, and the width of the advertising cloth (50) can be spliced unlimitedly as required by using high frequency splicing, making the environmentally friendly advertising cloth more applicable also improving the overall advertising effect and quality.

[Problem] The objective of the present invention is to provide a resin sheet that has a favorable tactile sensation and no less than a certain light transmittance and a molded article thereof. [Solution] A resin sheet that has hair-like bodies arranged regularly on at least one surface of an underlayer and in which a continuous phase is formed without any structural boundary between the underlayer and the hair-like bodies, wherein the average height of the hair-like bodies is no less than 30 μm and no greater than 500 μm, the total light transmittance of the resin sheet measured in accordance with JIS K 7136-1 is no less than 0.1% and no greater than 20%, and the contrast ratio of the resin sheet measured in accordance with JIS K 5600 4-1 is no less than 70% and no greater than 98%.

A bandroll for a waistband for a garment, the bandroll having an absorption layer and a wicking layer. The wicking layer controls stretch properties of the absorption layer. The waistband comprises a second material and wherein a shrinkage of a material substrate of the bandroll substantially matches a shrinkage of the second material.

A composite roofing membrane is disclosed having upper and lower surfaces. The composite roofing membrane contains, in order, a first membrane, a second membrane, and a nonwoven fleece. The first membrane has a first side and a second side, where the first side of the first membrane forms the upper surface of the composite roofing membrane, and where the first membrane comprises a thermoplastic polymer. The second membrane has a first side and a second side, where the first side of the second membrane is adjacent to and in direct and intimate contact with the second side of the first membrane, and where the second membrane comprises a thermoplastic polymer. There are no fibers or yarns between the first and second membranes. The nonwoven fleece contains a plurality of yarns, has a tensile strength of between 100 and 1000 lb.sub.f, and a tear strength of between 20 and 200 lb.sub.f.

Filter media comprising a non-wetlaid backer are generally provided. In some embodiments, a filter media comprises a non-wetlaid fiber web and further comprises one or more further fiber webs. The further fiber web(s) may include an efficiency layer and/or a prefilter.

Provided is a composite textile and its method, and the method comprises providing a fabric layer and a membrane layer, wherein the melting point of the fabric layer is higher than that of the membrane layer; attaching the fabric layer to the membrane layer to form a stacked structure; heating the stacked structure at a pre-heat temperature, and then heating and pressing the stacked structure at a hot-press temperature and under a hot-press pressure to form a combined structure, wherein the pre-heat temperature is lower than the hot-pressure temperature, and the hot-press pressure is between 0.1 kg/cm.sup.2 and 100 kg/cm.sup.2; and cooling the combined structure to obtain a composite textile. The method of the present invention does not use any organic solvent and the problem of residual organic solvents in the composite textile is avoided.

A compressible seal (400A) includes a compressible body (406) having a first surface (410) and a second surface. A pattern of discontinuous adhesive regions (412) is formed of an adhesive connected with at least one of the first surface (410) or the second surface of the compressible body (406). The compressible body (406) is operable to conform around the pattern of adhesive regions (412) to prevent fluid ingress when the compressible body (406) is compressed.
