The present disclosure generally relates to devices and methods for furniture protection. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to foam-film sheets configured to protect furniture from damage. An exemplary foam-film sheet as disclosed herein includes a sheet of foam material having a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge; a sheet of film material having a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge; a first seal between a portion of the foam material proximate its first lateral edge and a portion of the film material proximate its first lateral edge; and a second seal between a portion of the foam material proximate its second lateral edge and a portion of the film material proximate its second lateral edge, wherein the film and foam are substantially unseated along the entire transverse width between the first and second sealed portions near the lateral edges of the foam material.

A transparent thermoformed high barrier plastic bottle is provided for use in storing food and beverages, personal care products, health care products, and other applications that require excellent transparency and barrier properties. The transparent thermoformed high barrier plastic bottle includes first and second outer layers formed using a transparent polyester or polyester copolymer; an inner nanolayer sequence including a plurality of nanolayers a) including ethylene vinyl alcohol, alternating with nanolayers b) including at least one of ethylene ethyl acrylate, low density polyethylene and linear low density polyethylene, each of the nanolayers b) having a degree of crystallinity less than about 45%; and adhesive layers between each of the two outer layers and the inner nanolayer sequence. A method for producing a transparent thermoformed high barrier plastic bottle is also provided.

An installation for manufacturing cross-linkable polyethylene compounds which comprises a melting machine (101), a melt pump (102) and a filtration unit (103) to produce cross-linkable polyethylene compounds that may be further used for manufacturing insulating parts of medium, high and extra-high voltage power cables, and a method for manufacturing such cross-linkable polyethylene compounds.

A rotomoulded product and a method of making a rotomoulded product via rotational moulding, the rotomoulded product including at least two layers of material that form a wall of the product, at least one of the layers including post-consumer recyclate (PCR), and at least one of the layers including virgin PE.

Described herein are resilient floor coverings produced by using digitally printed UV-cured inks and exhibiting high adhesion properties between an ink layer and a wear layer. Also described herein are methods for manufacturing same. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

An in-mold foam molded article has a foam body made from olefin-based resin pre-expanded beads and an insert member having an elongated connecting portion and movement resisting portions provided apart from one another in the elongated connecting portion. The insert member is subjected to insert molding upon in-mold foam molding using the olefin-based resin pre-expanded beads. The foam body has a movement facilitating structure that facilitates relative movement between the insert member and the foam body during shrinkage of the in-mold foam molded article after release from a mold.

A preform for biaxial stretching blow molding. The preform being formed into a closed-end cylinder by direct blow molding and which is to be shaped into a container using a pressurizing liquid medium. The preform has either a single-layer or a multilayer structure constituted of one of a polyethylene resin having an MFR of 1.0-1.5 g/10 min. or a polypropylene resin having an MFR of 0.8 to 2.3 g/10 min.

The direct-current cable includes a conductive portion; and an insulating layer covering an outer periphery of the conductive portion, the insulating layer containing cross-linked base resin and inorganic filler, the base resin containing polyethylene, a BET specific surface area of the inorganic filler being greater than or equal to 5 m.sup.2/g and less than or equal to 150 m.sup.2/g, and a mean volume diameter of the inorganic filler being less than or equal to 1.0 μm, the mass ratio of the inorganic filler with respect to the base resin being greater than or equal to 0.001 and less than or equal to 0.05, and the cross-linked base resin being cross-linked by a cross-linking agent containing organic peroxide.

An extruder and molding assembly comprising an extruder positioned upstream from a mold, the mold having a mold cavity and a separate pressurization member fluidly connected to the mold cavity wherein the extruder is operable at a first pressure to fill at least a majority of the mold cavity and the pressurization member is operable to fill a remainder of the mold cavity.

The invention relates to a device comprising a first fixing element, a further fixing element and a folded planar composite; wherein the first fixing element comprises a first fixing surface and the further fixing element comprises a further fixing surface; wherein the folded planar composite is at least partially fixed between the first fixing surface and the further fixing surface; wherein the folded planar composite comprises a first composite region; wherein the first composite region comprises a first layer sequence comprising a first composite layer comprising a first carrier layer, a second composite layer comprising a second carrier layer, a third composite layer comprising a third carrier layer and a fourth composite layer comprising a fourth carrier layer; wherein in the first composite region the second composite layer is joined to the third composite layer and the third composite layer is joined to the fourth composite layer; wherein in the first composite region the third carrier layer is characterised by a smaller layer thickness than in each case one selected from the group consisting of the first carrier layer, the second carrier layer and the fourth carrier layer or a combination of at least two of these; wherein the first fixing surface or the further fixing surface or both comprises a recess comprising a first recess region; wherein the first composite region is located at least partially between the first recess region and the first fixing surface or the further fixing surface.
