A floor element includes a substrate made of polymer, a top layer on one of the two sides of the substrate and a polymeric foamed layer on the other of the two sides of the substrate. The density of the polymeric foamed layer is less than 120 kg/m.sup.3.

Floor element comprising a top layer (102) attached to a substrate layer (104), in which the top layer (102) is itself layered, the top layer (102) comprising: —an optional backing layer (122) made of flexible polymer, —a flexible or semi-rigid polymer layer (124), onto or into which optionally at least one reinforcing layer (126) is attached or embedded, and —a finishing layer comprising a decorative layer (132), a wearing layer (134) thereon and optionally a coating (136) thereon; the substrate layer (104) being a rigid substrate layer.

A real wood sheet includes a wood layer, a mesh layer disposed on a surface of the wood layer, and a flexible layer disposed on a surface of the mesh layer such that the mesh layer is disposed between the wood layer and the flexible layer. The wood layer includes a real wood design portion having a real wood pattern processed thereon and an edge portion formed at an edge of the design portion.

The present disclosure is directed to a physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structure comprising at least one foam polypropylene/polyethylene layer with a KEE cap layer. The multilayer foam structure can be obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam layer composition layer with at least one cap layer composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.

A method for producing a sandwich panel with a reinforced foam core includes inserting rod-shaped, thermoplastic reinforcing elements into a thermoplastic foam material such that the reinforcing elements extend through the foam material. End regions of the reinforcing elements project out of the foam material. The foam material is thermoformed to form a reinforced foam core, wherein the end regions of the reinforcing elements are integrally formed by applying temperature and pressure to the cover surfaces of the foam material and are bonded to the foam material in a fused connection. A thermoplastic cover layer is laminated on either side by applying temperature and pressure to the reinforced foam core on the cover surfaces of the foam material in order to form the sandwich panel, wherein the cover layers are bonded to the reinforced foam core in a fused connection.

A sealing for arrangement between a wall and a wall covering includes a sealing sheet and an adhesive tape. The sealing sheet and the adhesive tape each have a carrier layer of a preferably closed-cell foam plastic. Furthermore, the sealing sheet can bear a nonwoven fabric preferably on the wall-facing side, wherein border strips remain free of the nonwoven fabric for underlapping with an adhesive tape.

The present invention relates to a molding made of expanded bead foam, wherein at least one fiber (F) is partly within the molding, i.e. is surrounded by the expanded bead foam. The two ends of the respective fibers (F) that are not surrounded by the expanded bead foam thus each project from one side of the corresponding molding. The present invention further provides a panel comprising at least one such molding and at least one further layer (S1). The present invention further provides processes for producing the moldings of the invention from expanded bead foam or the panels of the invention and for the use thereof, for example as rotor blade in wind turbines.

The present invention relates to an optical adhesive sheet having an excellent repulsion resistance and an excellent swelling rate, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Disclosed herein is a technique for further improving the quietness in a vehicle cabin while reducing an increase in the weight of a motor vehicle. A noise reduction member, arranged in a fender inner space defined between a fender panel serving as an exterior panel for a motor vehicle and an inner fender forming a wheelhouse, includes a pair of wall portions which are made of a foamed material and arranged to be spaced apart from each other.
