Provided is a melamine decorative board having a milky-white core layer and less warpage. When the melamine decorative board is bonded onto a base plate such as a plywood, a particle board, and a steel board, a color tone of the base plate does not appear through to a decorative layer. Stacked and thermal-pressure-formed are: a resin-impregnated patterned paper as the decorative layer; multiple sheets of a resin-impregnated core paper, as the core layer, produced by impregnating a whitish fibrous base material with a resin liquid including: a condensate of melamine and formaldehyde, and a divalent polyalkylene glycol or a derivative thereof, or a tri- or more valent polyalkylene glycol polyvalent ether, and drying the whitish fibrous base material; and a resin-impregnated backside paper, as a backside layer, produced by impregnating a fibrous base material with a condensate of melamine and formaldehyde and drying the fibrous base material.

A composite foam article is disclosed herein. The composite foam article comprises a polyurethane foam core presenting a first surface and a second surface facing opposite the first surface. A first skin is disposed on the first surface and a second skin is disposed on the second surface. The polyurethane foam core has a density of 15-80 kg/m.sup.3. The first and second skins comprise a plurality of fibers and a polymeric binder. The composite foam article has a weight per unit area of 500-1000 g/m.sup.2 and a strength of greater than 17 N at a post-compression thickness of greater than 2 mm when tested in according with SAE J949 at 23° C.

A composite film may include a first transparent substrate and a first anti-reflective coating overlying a first surface of the first transparent substrate. The first anti-reflective coating may include fluorothermoplastic material and an acrylated polydimethylsiloxane. The composite film may further have a VLT of at least about 93.0% and a haze value of not greater than about 2.0%.

The present vehicle includes a projection device installed in the vehicle; and a laminated glass configured to transmit a light beam emitted from the projection device to a vehicle exterior side. The laminated glass includes a vehicle-interior-side glass plate; a vehicle-exterior-side glass plate; an interlayer bonding the vehicle-interior-side glass plate and the vehicle-exterior-side glass plate; and a scattering layer arranged between the vehicle-exterior-side glass plate and the vehicle-interior-side glass plate, and in contact with the interlayer, the scattering layer being configured to be irradiated with the light beam. A relationship between visible light transmittance Tv (%) of the laminated glass and an angle of incidence θ (degrees) to the scattering layer of each ray included in the light beam incident on the scattering layer satisfies Formula (1) described in the description.

The present invention is directed to an environmentally friendly composite structure and storage article fabricated therefrom. The composite structure includes a fiber-containing layer, such as a fiberboard layer or other layer having fibers from natural and/or synthetic sources, and a ground calcium carbonate-containing layer covering the fiber-containing layer. The ground calcium carbonate-containing layer is substantially continuously bonded to the fiber-containing layer along the surface of the fiber-containing layer. The fiber-containing layer and ground calcium carbonate-containing layer can be shaped, sized and manufactured such that the composite structure formed therefrom is capable of being shaped to form the storage article. The composite structure has advantages in that it has a high degree of pliability and flexibility that is increased over the pliability of the fiber-containing layer alone, which renders it highly attractive to consumers. The composite structure further has tensile strength and other characteristics that allow it to be readily machined into desired storage article forms, such as box and carton forms.

A method for providing a film laminate comprising a substrate and a polymer film, and suitable for forming a part of a laminated packaging material is provided. The method comprises forwarding a web of the substrate to pass through a lamination nip. The method further comprises casting the polymer film by applying a molten polymer material onto a cooling roller to at least partially solidify the molten polymer material to form the polymer film. Furthermore, the method comprises directly forwarding the polymer film to pass through the lamination nip, thereby laminating the polymer film onto the web of the substrate.

Provided is a biaxiaiiy stretched polypropylene film for capacitors having a thin thickness and having excellent initial voltage resistance and excellent long-term heat resistance and voltage resistance, and also provided is a metallized polypropylene film for capacitors. The polypropylene film for capacitors is obtained by biaxiaiiy stretching a polypropylene resin, the polypropylene film having a crystallite size of 122 Å or less as determined by the Scherrer's equation from the half width of the reflection peak from (040) plane of α-crystal measured by a wide angle X-ray diffraction method, and the polypropylene film having a value of birefringence ΔNyz with respect to a thickness direction of 7.0×10.sup.−3 or more and 10.0×10.sup.−3 or less as measured by an optical birefringence measurement.

A method for manufacturing a laminate sheet including a fluororesin film and a silicone rubber sheet that are adhered to one another, where the fluororesin film has a reactive functional group as a result of a surface treatment, the side with the reactive functional group is overlapped with an organic peroxide-containing millable-type silicone rubber composition, where the silicone rubber composition is sheet-shaped and the organic peroxide has a one-minute half-life temperature in the range of 100-150° C., and the silicone rubber composition is cured by being heated under pressure at 90-135° C. The laminate sheet has a peel adhesion strength of 3N or more. The four corners of a 120 mm square test sample of the laminate sheet do not curve into one end of a semicircular arc shape or one end of a C shape, and the average warpage value of the four corners is 35 mm or less.

A load floor for a vehicle, by which, as the load floor is manufactured by including manufacturing a honeycomb structure with paper and adding polyurethane sheets to both side surfaces of the honeycomb structure, light and sufficient structural stiffness and a sound absorption effect are obtained through the honeycomb structure. As the polyurethane sheets are respectively provided on both surfaces of the honeycomb structure, sound absorption and insulation performances are obtained to further increase a sound absorption and insulation effect.
