A bladder-type pressure tank includes an outer shell, a bladder, a nozzle, and an elbow pipe. The outer shell includes a liner and a glass-fiber layer covering the outer surface of the liner. The liner includes polyethylene (PE). The liner further includes a chamber, a first opening, and a second opening. The bladder is disposed in the chamber. In an inflated state of the bladder, a gap is formed between the inflated bladder and the inner surface of the liner. The bladder includes polyurethane (PU). The nozzle is integrated with the bladder, and is disposed in the first opening and seals the first opening. The elbow pipe includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the elbow pipe is disposed in the second opening and communicates with the chamber; and the second end of the elbow pipe is configured to connect to a pipeline.

Provided is a process for preparing a zipper pouch, wherein the process comprises: A) forming a first laminate by a process comprising i) bringing together a polyisocyanate component and a polyol component to form an adhesive composition, ii) applying a layer of the adhesive composition to a layer of polyethylene terephthalate, iii) then contacting the layer of the adhesive composition with a layer of polyethylene having thickness of 80 micrometer or more; B) contacting a polymeric zipper construction to the first laminate at temperature of 200 C or higher. Also provided is a zipper pouch made by that process.

A method of making laminate foam material is provided. The laminate foam material includes a layer of non-foam material sandwiched between two layers of foam material. The non-foam material is bonded to the foam material, such as with a bonding agent and/or by heating respective surfaces of the foam material until the surface softens or melts. When a heating process is utilized, the non-foam material is pressed against the softened or melted foam material. As the foam material begins to cool, the non-foam material becomes bonded to the foam material. The non-foam material is narrower than the foam material and is positioned relative to the foam material such that the edges of the non-foam material are concealed by the foam material. Foam products, such as foam mats, can be formed from the laminate foam material by cutting across the width of the foam material.

A machine including a mold which delimits an overmolding cavity, for receiving a hollow portion of a bi-material part, cooling means along the overmolding cavity, a core positionable inside the hollow portion and containing heating means for bringing the core to a heating temperature higher than 150° C., and an injector injecting an overmolding material, formed by the core and the hollow portion, for forming an inner portion of the bi-material part. In order to obtain the overmolded inner portion even if the hollow portion has poor heat resistance, the cooling means maintain the overmolding cavity at a cooling temperature lower than 110° C. while the core is brought to the heating temperature, while the overmolding material has been injected by the injector into the overmolding cavity.

A seat pad with improved thermal comfort and improved vibration absorptivity and a seat pad manufacturing method for easily obtaining the seat pad are provided. In the seat pad (1), when a surface portion (2) up to 10 mm from a surface (1f) is cut out and the air permeability AR1 of the surface portion (2) is measured in compliance with JIS K 6400, the air permeability AR1 is more than 5 cc/cm.sup.2/sec and 25 cc/cm.sup.2/sec or less. The seat pad manufacturing method is a seat pad manufacturing method for obtaining the seat pad (1) by supplying a molding material into a molding die and performing foam molding. As the molding die, a molding die an inner surface of which is covered with polystyrene or polyethylene is used.

A tube assembly including a cross-linked polyethylene tube having a radial projection and a coupler, and a method for forming the tube assembly. A forming assembly is configured to dispose the radial projection of the cross-linked polyethylene tube through the coupler after the completion of the cross-linking process.

The present invention is directed to a side-sealed open mesh fabric bag having one or more multi-layer seam structures. At least one side seam of the bag comprises a plurality of folded layers of the bag's fabric bonded together within a seam structure by a plurality of seal portions. At least one of those seal portions is a sacrificial seal configured to at least partially give from the seam structure, whilst one or more other seal portions of the seam structure remain intact. The sacrificial seal provides the bag with volumetric flexibility, whilst the remaining seam structure provides an improved seam strength.

First, a composite preform 70 including a preform 10a and a plastic member 40a in close contact with the outer surface of the preform 10a is made by preparing the preform 10a made of plastic material and arranging the plastic member 40a to surround the outer surface of the preform 10a. Subsequently, the composite preform 70 is heated and inserted in a blow molding die 50 and undergoes blow molding in the blow molding die 50, by which the preform 10a and the plastic member 40a of the composite preform 70 are inflated integrally and a composite container 10A is obtained.

A method for producing a decorated molded part, a decorated molded part, as well as the use of a transfer film for producing a decorated molded part includes: Producing an intermediate product in the form of a composite body by applying a transfer ply of a transfer film to a first surface of a polypropylene film, wherein the transfer ply of the transfer film has at least one decorative layer. Forming the composite body having the polymer film with applied transfer ply of the transfer film. Inserting the formed composite body into an injection mold and back injection molding and/or overmolding and/or insert molding the formed composite body with a plastic material, containing or consisting of polypropylene. Optionally, the back injection-molded and/or overmolded and/or insert-molded formed composite body is coated, in a step, over the whole surface or over part of the surface with one or more primer layers and/or one or more varnish layers.
