Protective panels, roof panels, window or door shutters, running boards and fencing panels are described.

The invention relates to a method for producing a surface-structured layered material which has a backing layer (I) and a polyurethane layer (2) connected thereto, the backing layer (I) used, in particular in pieces, being a leather, preferably a smoothed full-grain leather or a split cowskin, a textile material, preferably a woven fabric or a knitted fabric, a cellulose fibre material, a split foam, a leather fibre material or a microfibre fleece and being connected to the layer (2), and the layer (2) applied to the backing layer (I) being at least one, preferably a single layer formed of a PU foam, in particular containing gas pockets, preferably a whipped PU foam optionally containing hollow microspheres and/or a PU foam containing hollow microspheres. According to the invention: —the PU foam, in particular containing gas pockets, is created with a PU dispersion mixture, wherein the individual PU dispersions used to create the PU dispersion mixture exhibit different softening points in the dry state; —to create the PU dispersion mixture, one or more PU dispersions having heat—preferably melting and contact adhesive properties and a softening point in the dry state greater than 40° C., preferably greater than 45° C., in an amount of 18 to 52 wt ¾ of the finished PU dispersion mixture is/are mixed with one or more PU dispersions without melting and contact adhesive properties and with a softening point greater than 95° C., preferably greater than 125° C., in an amount of 39 to 73 wt ¾ of the finished PU dispersion mixture; —the PU dispersion mixture for the layer (2) is applied to the backing layer (I) with a thickness such that the layer has a thickness in the dried state of 0.075 to 0.450 mm, preferably 0.150 to 0.280 mm; —before or during structuring of the PU foam, a further layer (3) of a non-foamed PU dispersion which is a mixture of multiple PU dispersions is applied to the layer (2); —the backing layer (I) is optionally cut or punched into banks or pattern parts before or after the application of the PU foam, in particular after the drying thereof, and the coated blanks or pattern parts are subjected to stamping or structuring under pressure and temperature; and —the backing layer (1), the further layer (3) and the layer (2) are compressed and joined to one another and structured with a die (4) under application of a contact pressure of 4 to 48 kg/cm2, preferably 4 to 48 kg/cm2, in particular 18 to 25 kg/cm2.

The present disclosure provides a headliner for a vehicle. The headliner includes a foam; a hot melt film positioned on a surface of the foam; a reinforcement sheet positioned on the hot melt film; and a heat shielding layer coated with a thermal barrier material on the reinforcement sheet. In particular, the heat shielding layer includes a carbon nanotube.

This document discloses antistatic shoe insoles that include a flexible foam layer and antistatic filaments of textile material interspersed throughout the foam layer and extending passed or exposed at the surface of the shoe insole and methods of making such an antistatic shoe insole. The antistatic filaments are needle punched through the foam layer. The antistatic filaments may be any suitable antistatic material blended with any felt fiber such as wool fiber, cotton fiber, polyester fiber, or the like.

A detachable carpet includes a carpet surface and an anti-slip mat. The carpet surface includes a surface layer and a bottom three-dimensional mesh fabric structure layer. The anti-slip mat includes a bottom anti-slip and water-repellent layer and an upper bonding layer, and the bonding layer is a single-sided fabric on which are arranged a plurality of polyester, polypropylene or nylon monofilament protrusions. The protrusions can be inserted into corresponding meshes of the three-dimensional mesh fabric structure layer. The bonding layer of the anti-slip mat of the present invention adopts a single-sided structure layer formed by cutting the middle of the three-dimensional mesh fabric structure layer, or a single-sided fabric that is made of at least 20D monofilament and provided with protrusions. The 20D-120D polyester, polypropylene or nylon monofilament on the bonding layer forms thick and rigid protrusions with a certain stiffness.

The present invention provides a transparent resin film which enables visual check of the adhesion state after lamination of the transparent resin film on a picture layer provided on a substrate, a decorative board including the transparent resin film, and a method for producing the decorative board. Provided is a transparent resin film for protecting a picture layer provided on one side of a substrate, the transparent resin film including at least: a thermoplastic resin layer; and an external haze layer on a picture layer side.

The present invention provides a transparent resin film excellent in weather resistance even in a case where a pattern of protrusions and depressions is formed on the surface for the purpose of imparting excellent design properties, a decorative board including the transparent resin film, and a method for producing the decorative board. Provided is a transparent resin film for protecting a picture layer on one side of a substrate, including at least: a surface protective layer; and a transparent resin layer, laminated on each other, the transparent resin film having a pattern of protrusions and depressions on a surface protective layer side, the transparent resin film having a thickness at a depression of the pattern of protrusions and depressions of 100 μm or larger, the transparent resin film containing an ultraviolet absorber.

Removable traction mat wherein a foam is reinforced with a layer of fabric, fiber, or reinforced adhesive between a CLCC foam layer and the substrate or underlying surface. The layering is preferably a first foam layer and a fabric layer impregnated with a pressure sensitive adhesive. This prevents the CLCC foam from being bonded directly to the substrate and allows the fabric/fiber to support the CLCC foam such that the entire assembly can be removed in one piece without the CLCC foam disintegrating. The traction mat includes at least one slit to allow a user to secure a piece of fishing within the traction mat such that the user may easily and readily access such piece of fishing equipment. The location of the slits may be within a groove or near an identifying marker such as a colorful line.
