Provided is a syringe gasket including a first member, and a second member connected to the first member and coupled to a plunger rod of a syringe. The first member includes a top face contacting with the liquid, and a first side circumferential face that faces an inner circumferential face of a barrel of the syringe. The first side circumferential face has, at an end portion thereof close to the second member, a ring-like trimmed face. An inert film is laminated on the top face and the portion of the first side circumferential face other than the ring-like trimmed face. The second member includes a second side circumferential face that faces the inner circumferential face of the barrel, and a ring-like protruding portion that projects outward in the radial direction from the second side circumferential face. The ring-like protruding portion at least partially covers the ring-like trimmed face.

The present invention relates to a synthetic leather for a steering wheel cover of a vehicle, and a method for preparing the same. The synthetic leather including a fiber base layer (101) including a microfiber nonwoven fabric, an urethane porous layer (102) formed on the fiber base layer, a polyurethane resin skin layer (104) formed on the urethane porous layer, and prepared by polymerizing an isocyanate compound and a polyol compound including polycarbonate-based polyol, fluorine-based polyol and ester-based polyol, and an adhesive layer (103) for adhering the urethane porous layer and the skin layer.

Provided are a hose excelling in a lightweight property and in fatigue fracture resistance, a method for manufacturing the hose, and a hydraulic pump. The hose includes a tube, an interior of the tube being hollow, continuous carbon fibers and/or continuous glass fibers wound around an outer circumference of the tube, and a thermosetting resin present external to the tube. The thermosetting resin has an elastic modulus from 0.5 to 10 MPa, and the continuous carbon fibers and/or continuous glass fibers are impregnated with at least a part of the thermosetting resin. The elastic modulus of the thermosetting resin is a numeric value determined by: heating the thermosetting resin for 2 hours at a curing temperature of the thermosetting resin; then subjecting the thermosetting resin to thermoregulation for two weeks under a condition of a temperature of 23° C. and a relative humidity of 55%; and then performing a measurement in accordance with JIS K7161:2019.

A passivating flexible insulation blanket positionable about a pipe includes an insulation core, an enclosing fabric, and a non-consumable passivator. The insulation core is substantially hydrophobic and includes a microporous material. The enclosing fabric fully encapsulates the insulation core to form a capsule or pouch about the insulation core. The non-consumable passivator is non-consumable such that there is no appreciable change to a mass of the non-consumable passivator after an extended time of activation. The non-consumable passivator is deposited into the insulation core and has a composition soluble in water. The non-consumable passivator includes a leachable component that leaches from the insulation core and is capable of neutralizing acidic components. The leachable component is water soluble and is capable of reacting with a surface of the pipe to form a protective coating on the pipe to aid in inhibiting corrosion formation on the surface of the pipe.

An apparatus (1;2) for removing an ophthalmic lens from a mold half (3;4), comprises a ring member (10;20) movable towards and away from the mold half (3;4), the ring member (10;20) comprising a central opening (103;203) and a plurality of nozzles (100;200) circumferentially distributed about the ring member (10;20), each nozzle (100;200) having an outlet opening directed towards the mold half (3,4) as the ring member (10;20) is placed on the mold half (3;4), and a gripper member (11;21) arranged to be movable towards and away from the mold half (3:4) through the central opening (103;203) of the ring member (10;20).

Glass-fiber mats for lead-acid batteries are described. The glass-fiber mats may include a plurality of glass fibers held together with a binder. The binder may be made from a binder composition that includes (i) an acid resistant polymer, and (ii) a hydrophilic agent. The hydrophilic agent increases the wettability of the glass-fiber mat such that the glass-fiber mat forms a contact angle with water or aqueous sulfuric acid solution of 70° or less. Also described are methods of making the glass-fiber mats that include applying a binder composition to the glass fibers, and including a hydrophilic agent in the glass fiber mat that increases the wettability of the mat. The hydrophilic agent may be added to the binder composition, applied to the glass-fiber mat, or both.

Multilayer polyethylene (PE) geomembrane liners for unconventional thermal conditions and methods of making them are disclosed. The liners have N co-extruded stacked layers, each layer being made from a PE masterbatch composition comprising a given amount of PE resin and additives, and of a PE metallocene based resin free of acid neutralizer compounds. Also disclosed are customized multilayer PE geomembrane liners of N co-extruded stacked layers, each layer being made from a PE masterbatch comprising a specific additive providing specific behaviour property to the layer; wherein at least two of the N layers comprise a different specific additive in order to provide a geomembrane liner having at least two layers with different behaviour property. The liners have a water-bath aging performance for about 6 months immersion at about 80° C. per ASTM D5322—modified for water, such that about 80% of high pressure OIT value retained per ASTM D5885.
