The invention relates to an insulated panel, in particular a wall panel or roof panel, including a foamed core layer and a cover layer affixed to the foamed core layer. The invention also relates to an insulating covering, in particular a wall covering or floor covering, including a plurality said insulated panels.
FLOORING ELEMENT
Floor element comprising a top layer (102) attached to a substrate layer (104), in which the top layer (102) is itself layered, the top layer (102) comprising: —an optional backing layer (122) made of flexible polymer, —a flexible or semi-rigid polymer layer (124), onto or into which optionally at least one reinforcing layer (126) is attached or embedded, and —a finishing layer comprising a decorative layer (132), a wearing layer (134) thereon and optionally a coating (136) thereon; the substrate layer (104) being a rigid substrate layer.
Coextruded, crosslinked polyolefin foam with KEE cap layers
The present disclosure is directed to a physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structure comprising at least one foam polypropylene/polyethylene layer with a KEE cap layer. The multilayer foam structure can be obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam layer composition layer with at least one cap layer composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.
Method of making coextruded, crosslinked polyolefin foam with KEE cap layers
The present disclosure is directed to a physically crosslinked, closed cell continuous multilayer foam structure comprising at least one foam polypropylene/polyethylene layer with a KEE cap layer. The multilayer foam structure can be obtained by coextruding a multilayer structure comprising at least one foam layer composition layer with at least one cap layer composition layer, irradiating the coextruded structure with ionizing radiation, and continuously foaming the irradiated structure.
ADHESIVE COMPOSITION AND ADHERED ROOFING SYSTEM PREPARED USING THE ADHESIVE COMPOSITION
The invention is directed to an adhesive composition including at least one rubber component, a solvent, and at least one powdered superabsorber polymer. The invention also relates to a method for bonding a roofing membrane to a substrate using the adhesive composition as a contact adhesive, to fully adhered membrane roofing system, and to the use of adhesive composition for adhering roofing membranes to substrates by contact bonding.
Semi-rigid display board
A display board has a foam core with elastomeric properties with a first display layer affixed on one side and optionally a second display layer affixed on a second side. The elastic foam core can have a closed cell structure and be made from a thermoplastic. The display layers can be heat welded directly to the respective sides of the core with or without additional use of adhesive or the layers can be attached via adhesive only and not heat. The foam core has a Shore 00 hardness of 20-100.
Decorative Panel and Method of Manufacturing a Decorative Panel
The invention relates to a decorative panel, in particular a floor panel, ceiling panel or wall panel, and to a method for manufacturing such decorative panel. The panel according to the present invention comprises includes at least one foamed layer comprising including an upper side and a lower side, and at least one decorative solid layer either directly or indirectly, affixed on said upper side of the foamed layer, wherein both the foamed layer and the decorative solid layer are wood based materials. The invention also relates to a floor covering consisting of a plurality of such panels.
Method for the production of curved furniture components and component thus obtainable
The method for the production of curved furniture components comprises: an overlapping step of a first panel of wooden, plastic or metal material, of at least one intermediate separating layer and of a second panel of wooden, plastic or metal material for obtaining a flat semi-finished product having a perimeter edge; an interposition step of a polyurethane type adhesive between the intermediate layer and the first panel and second panel by hot dispensing of said adhesive on the surfaces of the first and the second panels which are adapted to be associated with the intermediate layer or by hot dispensing of the adhesive on the surfaces of the intermediate layer which are adapted to be associated with said first panel and second panel; a cold shaping step of the semi-finished product for obtaining a curved component; and a spraying step of a water-based auxiliary substance between the intermediate layer and at least one of the first panel and the second panel, subsequent to the interposition of the adhesive.
Uses of microbial derived materials in polymer applications
This disclosure provides methods for the chemical modification of microbial derived triglyceride oils, use thereof in polyurethane chemistries, and incorporation thereof as a core material alone or as part of a wood core composite in the production of sporting goods equipment, including, for example, alpine skis, touring skis, cross country skis, approach skis, split boards, snowboards, and water skis.
