A method for the manufacture and decoration of a mineral-filled resin shower tray with an external coating, including the steps of applying an external coating layer on the internal surface of a mould, casting a mix of resin and mineral filler on the mould, curing and drying the mix, and including the prior steps of disposing on the internal surface of the mould cavity a transfer film including on one of the sides thereof a pattern printed in ink, vacuum thermoforming the transfer film against the internal surface of the mould cavity, and the subsequent step of removing the film from the surface of the mineral-filled resin shower tray with an external coating.

The production method for a thermally conductive molding includes: preparing a first film that is disposed on a mold having a three-dimensional shape so as to conform to the three-dimensional shape, and that has a first layer and a second layer that is releasably adhered to the first layer on a surface opposite to the mold of the first layer; disposing a curable composition including a thermally conductive material and a (meth)acrylic monomer on the first film; disposing a second film on the curable composition and sandwiching the curable composition between the first film and the second film; radically polymerizing the (meth)acrylic monomer in the curable composition to form a cured product of the curable composition between the first film and the second film; and releasing the first layer from the second layer to obtain a thermally conductive molding including the second layer, the cured product, and the second film.

Provided is a method for manufacturing an optical device capable of surely curing a photocurable resin composition. The method for manufacturing an optical device 1 in which an optical member 2 and a transparent panel 4 are bonded together via a cured resin layer 3 includes: a step of forming, on one of the optical member 2 and the transparent panel 4, a wall 12 surrounding a forming region for the cured resin layer 3 and having at least one opening 13; a step of laminating the optical member 2 and the transparent panel 4 to form a laminated body 10 in which a resin filling space 14 surrounded by the wall 12 is formed between the optical member 2 and the transparent panel 4; a step of filling the resin filling space 14 of the laminated body 10 with a photocurable resin composition 30; and a step of curing the photocurable resin composition 30 to form the cured resin layer 3.

Provided is a technology of a handy type and small-sized massage appliance. In the massage appliance, the vibrating section which is brought in contact with the user's skin and applies vibration is covered by the dual-structured cladding material having a high flexibility. Therefore, the original massage effect such as the promotion of bloodstream, the removal of the body wastes, and recovery from fatigue can be exerted without giving damage on a sensitive diseased part or the skin. There are provided a motor 5, a vibrating piece 8 which is rotatably driven by the motor, a vibrator body 2 which includes the case 9 accommodating these components, a soft cover 20 which surrounds the outer surface of the case, and a super-soft resin 40 which is interposed between the outer surface of the case and the soft cover and integrates the case and the soft cover.

The invention relates to a sandwich component composed of at least two building material plates which are arranged essentially parallel to one another at a distance from one another and have a polyurethane foam core between the spaced building material plates, wherein the ratio of the greatest measured compressive modulus of the polyurethane foam core in a direction oriented parallel to the building material plates to the compressive modulus of the polyurethane foam core in a direction oriented perpendicular to the building material plates is less than 1.7. To produce the sandwich components, a mixture of (a) at least one polyisocyanate component, (b) at least one component which comprises at least one polyfunctional compound which is reactive toward isocyanates and (c) at least one blowing agent is introduced by the high-pressure injection method into a hollow space between spaced building material plates. The process makes it possible to produce sandwich components whose foam core has reduced anisotropy combined with good insulation values.

A multilayer polyethylene film comprising a core layer, a first outer layer, and a second outer layer, wherein the core layer is positioned between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, the core layer comprises a linear low density polyethylene and, optionally, a first low density polyethylene resin, and the first outer layer and the second outer layer independently comprise a polyethylene resin and, optionally, a second low density polyethylene resin, wherein the density of the linear low density polyethylene is less than the density of the polyethylene resin.

A method of manufacturing a midsole includes placing first and second preforms into a midsole recess of a mold, with first and second portions of the mold defining a first overflow chamber connected to the first recess; closing the mold by positioning the first and second portions in contact with one another; heating the mold for a predetermined period of time at a predetermined temperature such that the first and second preforms melt and bond together to form a midsole, with a portion of each of the first and second preforms flowing into the first overflow chamber to form a first overflow portion; removing the midsole from the mold; allowing the midsole to expand; and cutting away the first overflow portion.
