A polypropylene composition (C) comprising: i) from 55.0 to 95.0 wt.-% of a heterophasic propylene copolymer (HECO), ii) from 5.0 to 45.0 wt. -% of a copolymer (CP), preferably a random copolymer, of propylene and at least one comonomer selected from the group of C4-C10 alpha-olefins that has been synthesized in the presence of a single-site catalyst, wherein the polypropylene composition (C) has a melt flow rate MFR2 of from 1.0 to 30.0 g/10 min, and wherein the polypropylene composition (C) has a Charpy Notched Impact Strength NIS of greater than or equal to 16.0 kJ/m2.

Disclosed herein is an ear tip having a flange made of silicone foam, the ear tip including a central core and a flange surrounding the core. The flange is made of silicone foam, and the core is made of a material harder than the silicone foam. Before the silicone is molded, attachable films or tapes may be attached to the top and bottom surfaces of the mesh, thereby preventing burrs generated during the molding of silicone from adhering to the mesh.

A foamed article formed by foam injection molding or foam extrusion of a composition is disclosed. The article is formed from a molding composition consisting essentially of: 100 phr of at least two different hydrogenated styrenic block copolymers (HSBC), a first HSBC and a second HSBC, having different molecular weights, a molecular weight ratio of at least 1.2:1, respectively; and a weight ratio of ranging from 5:95 to 95:5, respectively; 10-55 phr of a polypropylene having a melt flow of at least 2 g10/min; and optionally up to 55 phr of a plasticizer, selected from hydrocarbon based oils, fatty acids, triglyceride oils, and mixtures thereof. The composition has a melt flow rate of 2-50 g/10 min, a Shore A hardness of 60-90, a melt strength (F) of at least 0.010 N, and a melt strength (V) of at least 10.

Method for lowering the formaldehyde emissions of melamine/formaldehyde polymer moldings, films or fibers by impregnating the melamine/formaldehyde polymer moldings, films or fibers with an aqueous solution of at least one formaldehyde scavenger.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a multifunctional face mask system adapted to receive a nebulizer system, enabling a user to be treated by a nebulizer medication, while simultaneously providing a hygienic barrier between the user and their external environment via at least one filter component. The present invention further provides a multifunctional face mask system that is self-supporting, thereby enabling a user to wear the mask system in a portable manner. The present invention, in other embodiments, includes the bonding between at least one filter component and its corresponding filter window, to be produced by a selective mold behind injection molding process.

A method for making an elastically yielding layer (14) on a rigid or substantially rigid support surface (16) of an article (12) comprises a step of providing a support surface (16) inside a mold (18) for injection molding provided with a molding cavity (20), comprising a die (22) and a punch (24). The support surface (16) is in use facing the elastically yielding layer (14). The support surface (16) forms a wall of the molding cavity (20). There is also a step of providing an insert (26) inside the molding cavity (20) and a step of closing the mold (18). A step of injection molding of a thermoplastic polymer above the support surface (16), between the support surface (16) and the mold (18) is also provided.
