The invention relates to a film laminate, including at least one compact decorative layer with a lacquer layer on the upper side and with a foam layer on the underside, where the density of the foam layer is more than 500 kg/m.sup.3. The invention further relates to the use of said film laminate for the coating of components for the interior trim of motor vehicles and to interior trim parts of motor vehicles provided with said film laminate. The foam layer is based on a composition which includes from 15 to 60 parts by weight of at least one thermoplastic vulcanizate, from 15 to 35 parts by weight of at least one high melt strength polyolefin, and from 30 to 60 parts by weight of at least one low density polyethylene (LDPE).

An insert device for sealing a conduit, wherein at least one component of the insert device is configured to separate and position at least one wire in the conduit in order to create a space or inner volume for a sealant to be introduced thereinto. The insert device can have a nozzle configured to allow precise injection of the sealant into the inner volume. The insert device can be operated for quick and reliably repeatable sealing of conduits.

The present invention provides an apparatus for use in mixing and dispensing a curable fluid stream (stream) into an open mold to fill the mold to make polishing pads for chemical mechanical planarization of substrates. The apparatus comprises an actuator frame on which is mounted (i) a set of two plates releasably attached to the actuator frame and adapted to cut the stream when the mold is full and to release from the actuator frame after cutting the stream, and (ii) a dispenser unit for continuous pouring of the stream into an open mold, the apparatus adapted to enable removal of the released plates from the actuator during the continuous pouring after the mold is full, e.g. by raising the actuator frame and the (ii) dispenser unit, whereby one can place a container above the mold to catch the plates.

The invention relates to a film laminate (1), comprising at least one compact decorative layer (2) with a lacquer layer (3) on the upper side and with a foam layer (4) on the underside, where the density of the foam layer (4) is more than 500 kg/m.sup.3. The invention further relates to the use of said film laminate (1) for the coating of components for the interior trim of motor vehicles and to interior trim parts of motor vehicles provided with said film laminate (1).

The foam layer (4) of thermoformable film laminates (1) for the coating of interior trim parts for a motor vehicle in the region of the airbag covers and/or in the region of the tear seams of the airbag covers, where these have no lines of weakness, is based on a composition which comprises a) from 15 to 60 parts by weight of at least one thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) b) from 15 to 35 parts by weight of at least one high melt strength polyolefin (HMS polyolefin) and c) from 30 to 60 parts by weight of at least one low density polyethylene (LDPE),
where the proportions of a), b) and c) give a total of 100.

A structural component for a vehicle and a process and system for forming the structural component. A first cavity is formed in a first hollow passage between a first bladder and an interior surface of a component forming the structural component. A first structural reinforcement layer is formed in the first cavity by filling the first cavity with a first polymer resin and foaming the first polymer resin to form a first polymer resin foam. A second cavity is formed in the first hollow passage and a second structural reinforcement layer is formed in the second cavity by filling the second cavity with a second polymer resin and foaming the second polymer resin to form a second polymer resin foam.

A tank container insulation foaming structure comprising a press molding module and a clamping fixation module for securing the press molding module; the press molding module comprises a flat plate that connects with the tank container, an arc plate provided on the flat plate, and a connection plate for connecting the flat plate with the arc plate; a foaming space is formed between the arc plate and the tank container; the clamping fixation module comprises a fixed frame for securing the flat plate, a compression rod for fastening the fixed frame, and connecting components that connect the compression rod with the tank container; the fixed frame is connected to the press molding module and fastens the fixing frame to the tank container by the compression rod, the compression rod is connected to the tank container through connecting components; the foaming space has an insulating layer formed by the foaming material.

An injection molding method is provided. The injection molding method includes: providing a first mold, a second mold, a third mold fixedly attached to the second mold, and a first component at least partially surrounding the third mold; engaging the first mold with the second mold to form a mold cavity defined by the first mold, the second mold, the third mold and the first component; injecting a flowable material into the mold cavity; foaming the flowable material to form a second component; disengaging the first mold from the second mold; and detaching the first component and the second component from the third mold, wherein during and after the disengagement and the detachment, the second component is attached to the first component.

A circulating-type foam-molded article manufacturing device is capable of automatically replacing a foam-molded article manufacturing mold in a circulating foam-molded article manufacturing line. The circulating-type foam-molded article manufacturing device includes a circulation conveyance part configured to circulate along a production line, a mold carrier connected to the circulation conveyance part and configured to circulate along the production line, the mold carrier being configured such that a mold cart, on which a foam-molded article manufacturing mold is mounted, is loaded onto or unloaded from the mold carrier, and a cart loading/unloading part configured to load the mold cart onto an upper portion of the mold carrier or unload the mold cart from the upper portion of the mold carrier.
