A floor panel including at least one substrate and a top layer, where the substrate includes at least one first layer of a first thermoplastic material and a second layer of a second thermoplastic material. The second layer is adjacent to a first side of the first layer and the second layer provides the floor panel with its underside. The first layer is characterized by a first colour with saturation value S1 in the HSL colour space and the second layer is characterized by a second colour with saturation value S2 in the HSL colour space, where S1 is less than S2.

The present invention relates generally to a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive and low reflectivity granular particle layer to fully bond to concrete/shotcrete, and a method of making, and using same. More particularly, the invention encompasses a below grade, blind side, waterproofing sheet membrane with adhesive, and having at least one layer of low reflectivity granular particle layer that are fully or partly embedded into the adhesive layer, and where the average reflectivity of the exposed granular particles is below about 50 percent reflectivity on a standard reflectivity scale. The inventive waterproofing layer having the waterproofing sheet membrane, and an adhesive layer having embedded therein low reflectivity granular particles can be used in any building or wall construction, and can be placed under or around a foundation of a building or dwelling or on its below grade blind side retaining walls, etc.

The present invention relates to a molding base material (10) with which it is possible to prepare a vehicle exterior material such as an underbody shielding material. As a result of continued investigations, the applicant of the present application found that the objective of the present invention could be achieved by means of a “molding base material including a fiber base material layer (1) and a cover layer (3), wherein the fiber base material layer and the cover layer are integrally bonded to one another by means of a polypropylene-based resin layer (5) present at the interface between the fiber base material layer and the cover layer”, and wherein the fiber base material layer contains sheath-core type composite fibers of which the core portion is a polyester-based resin and the sheath portion is a polypropylene-based resin. That is, it was found, for example, that a vehicle exterior material prepared using a molding base material satisfying this composition does not readily suffer from inter-layer peeling under high-temperature conditions, and has excellent heat resistance.

A film stack comprises an oriented first layer comprising polyvinyl alcohol disposed on an oriented second layer comprising naphthalene dicarboxylate containing copolyester resin. The oriented second layer has in-plane birefringence Δnxy<0.02.

A light-translucent artificial leatherette (e.g., for use in an automotive interior) consists of a surface treating agent layer and a multilayer polymer material construction. The multilayer polymer material construction is comprised of at least an epidermal layer, which is a pigmented layer, and a surface treating agent layer, which is affixed to the epidermal layer. The light-translucent artificial leatherette is further comprised of a light-shielding layer, within which an inverse mask or light-transparent patterned structure is incorporated. The light-shielding layer is positioned between two laminates of the multilayer polymer construction adjacent thereto. The light-shielding layer is positioned directly between two laminates of the multilayer polymer construction adjacent thereto, and an inverse mask pattern is embedded into the light-shielding layer. A light source can illuminate the inverse mask structure and thereby display an inverse mask pattern on the light-translucent artificial leatherette surface.

A composite carbon fiber laminate, including a first carbon fiber woven fabric layer, including one or more first voids defined between fabric strands of the first carbon fiber woven fabric layer; a second carbon fiber woven fabric layer, including one or more second voids defined between fabric strands of the second carbon fiber woven fabric layer; a core fabric layer; a first reflective layer positioned between the first carbon fiber woven fabric layer and the core fabric layer; and a second reflective fabric layer positioned between the second carbon fiber woven fabric layer and the core fabric layer, wherein the first reflective layer reflects light that is incident upon the first carbon fiber woven fabric layer at the one or more first voids.

The present invention relates to an MDO heat-shrinkable film of a copolymer polyester having excellent thermal resistance. In particular, the present invention provides a copolymer polyester MDO (machine direction orientation) thermoresistant heat-shrinkable film that consists of a copolymer polyester resin including isosorbide and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol at an optimized content ratio as a diol component copolymerized with an acid component including terephthalic acid, and having a number average molecular weight of 18,000 g/mol or more, and can be used for labels, cap seals, direct packaging, etc. of various containers due to the high shrink initiation temperature.
