A ceiling panel for use in a gridwork of a suspended ceiling is provided. The ceiling panel includes a layer of foam insulation. A first facing sheet is positioned on a lower major face of the layer of foam insulation and a second facing sheet is positioned on an upper major face of the layer of foam insulation. A surface covering layer is positioned on an exposed face of the first facing sheet.

The panel includes a water resistant barrier layer secured atop its outward facing surface. The water resistant barrier layer includes a skid resistant surface. The panels are made of lignocellulosic material. The water resistant and skid resistant surface may include indicia for aligning strips of tape or for aligning fasteners. A method for manufacturing the water resistant building panels is also disclosed and includes the steps of feeding paper onto a forming belt, depositing lignocellulosic material and the binding agent onto the forming belt so as to form a lignocellulosic mat, applying heat and pressure so as to impart the skid resistant surface on the paper, and cutting panels to predetermined sizes.

A construction panel for installation on a construction surface and interlocking connection to a another construction panel comprises a moisture barrier base to inhibit migration of moisture from the construction surface. The base has a pair of opposed first connector edges comprising a first pair of releasable mating elements, and a pair of opposed second connector edges comprising a second pair of releasable mating elements. A plurality of projections extend from the underside of the base for support and to permit air circulation and drainage of water between the base and the construction surface. In one embodiment, an upper panel having selected physical characteristics is attached to the base. The positioning of the first and second pairs of mating elements on the first and second pairs of connector edges enables the interconnection of entire or partial construction panels.

A method is for producing a coextruded and biaxially stretched composite film using a novel combination of stretching and relaxation steps. A corresponding composite film has little or no shrinkage.

The invention discloses a paperboard for packaging of a heat-sealable packaging material comprising: —a paperboard substrate comprising a first and a second side, —a first and an optional second dispersion coating layer on the first side, which first and optional second dispersion coating layer provides a barrier against at least one of liquid, moisture, grease and gas, —an extrusion coated barrier layer comprising a polyolefin, wherein the first and optional second dispersion coating layer is applied between the paperboard substrate and the extrusion coated barrier layer, and wherein the coat weight of the extrusion coated barrier layer is less than 15 gsm. The packaging material according of the invention minimizes the amount of plastic coating, but still provides the needed barrier properties for the packaging of food and/or liquid. The packaging material has especially been shown to provide a longer shelf life for food items packed in a packaging made from the material. Especially, the packaging material provides gas-, liquid and/or grease barrier properties. Although the packaging material comprises such low amount of extruded thermoplastic polymers, the material is readily heat-sealable.

Provided is a display device. The display device having an active area including a plurality of sub-pixels and a non-active area. The display device comprises a lower substrate made of a transparent conducting oxide or an oxide semiconductor; a plurality of transistors disposed in the plurality of sub-pixels on the lower substrate, a planarization layer disposed on the plurality of transistors, a plurality of light emitting elements disposed on the planarization layer in the plurality of sub-pixels and including an anode, a light emitting layer and a cathode and a plurality of light emitting layer protective patterns disposed between the planarization layer and the anode.

A method of forming an insulated door panel includes folding side flanges of a metallic sheet to define side edges of a structural outer panel that extend from a front panel. A gap is defined between each set of adjacent side edges. Interior blocks are secured to an interior of the structural outer panel proximate each gap to define adhesive cavities. Exterior blocks are positioned at an exterior surface of the structural outer panel at each gap to further define the adhesive cavities. An adhesive is disposed within each adhesive cavity and is contained therein by the interior and exterior blocks. The adhesive is cured to a solid sealing member that adheres the interior blocks to the interior surface of the structural outer panel to form a sealed structural panel. The exterior blocks are removed and each solid sealing member defines a hermetic seal at each gap.

Disclosed are multilayer films with at least one MDO substrate.

This invention relates to an anisotropic multilayer film and the process of making a multilayer film, wherein a supercritical blowing agent is introduced to at least one layer, wherein at least one layer comprises 10 to 100 percent by weight LLDPE with a melt index of 0.2 to 2 g/10 min. The film in this invention can have a surface with an average Sheffield smoothness, according to TAPPI T 538, of less than 100. The film in this invention can have a puncture propagation tear resistance, in accordance with ASTM D2582, greater than 500 g/mil.

An interlayer film for laminated glass of the present invention comprises a thermoplastic resin, a carboxylic acid, and an alkali (alkaline earth) metal, wherein, when a molar concentration per unit volume of the alkali (alkaline earth) metal in the interlayer film for laminated glass, measured by ICP atomic emission spectrophotometry is A (mol/m.sup.3); a molar concentration per unit volume of the carboxylic acid in the interlayer film for laminated glass, measured by GC-MS is B (mol/m.sup.3); a molar concentration per unit volume of the carboxylic acid in the interlayer film for laminated glass, measured by GC-MS after a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution is added to the interlayer film for laminated glass to be left at 23° C. for 12 hours is Y; and a molar concentration per unit volume of the carboxylic acid, obtained by subtracting the molar concentration B from the concentration Y is D (mol/m.sup.3), the molar concentration A is more than 0.35 mol/m.sup.3 and less than 1.00 mol/m.sup.3, and a carboxylic acid isolation ratio (1) represented by (1−D/A)×100 is 40% or less.
