An ultra-stable structural laminate with fire resistance and a lateral nail pull strength from 44 to 300 pounds of force and an insulation R value from 1 to 40, the ultra-stable structural laminate of a cementious material with a nano-molecular veneer and a foam component catalytically reacted into an expanded closed cell foam having a thickness from ⅛.sup.th inch to 8 inches, a density from 1.5 pounds/cubic foot to 3 pounds/cubic foot that self-adheres to the cementitious material forming an ultra-stable structural laminate with fire resistance and a lateral nail pull strength from 44 pounds to 300 pounds of force, an insulation R value from 1 to 40, a resistance to seismic impact for earthquakes over 3.1 on the Richter Scale, a break point from 7 lbs/inch to 100 lbs/inch; and a resistance to wind shear equivalent to a 15 mph downburst.

The invention relates to a method for producing an absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element having a four-layered structure made from a first foam layer, a second foam layer, a non-woven foam layer and a non-woven fabric layer. The invention further relates to an absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element.

A synthetic resin skin material composite, including: a urethane resin skin material including a urethane resin skin layer provided at one surface of a substrate; and a cushion layer that is placed at a surface on an opposite side of the substrate from the surface of the urethane resin skin material at which the urethane resin skin layer is provided; in which the urethane resin skin material has recesses at a side of the urethane resin skin layer, and each of the recesses has a depth in a thickness direction of the synthetic resin skin material composite, such that the recesses extend from the urethane resin skin layer into the cushion layer beyond an interface between the urethane resin skin material and the cushion layer that is present in a region without a recess, as well as a method of producing a synthetic resin skin material composite.

The present invention relates to the production of cellulose from coffee or cocoa husks. The cellulose extracted can be used to produce paper, card stock, and cardboard. In addition, a composite material also comprising a material that allows the release of aromas is manufactured using said cellulose. Said material is used to manufacture a laminated product for use in primary, secondary and tertiary packaging applications. Said type of article allows printing on the outer surface thereof, is biodegradable and biocompatible.

The present invention relates to a biodegradable multi-layer packaging element, such as a foil or wrap, for a food product, a food packaging unit comprising such multi-layer and a method for manufacturing such biodegradable multi-layer, with the multi-layer comprising: —an inner cover layer comprising an amount of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester; —a first intermediate layer of a biodegradable material for connecting and/or sealing adjacent layers; —a functional layer comprising a vinyl alcohol polymer; —a second intermediate layer of a biodegradable material for connecting and/or sealing adjacent layers; and —an outer cover layer comprising an amount of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester.

The present invention relates to fiber composite plastic (11, 13) comprising a polymer (40, 41) and at least one textile (50), which has at least one palpably inhomogeneous surface (60, 61) with a textile structure and is entirely surrounded by polymer (40, 41), wherein the fiber composite plastic (11, 13) has at least one palpably inhomogeneous surface (60, 61), wherein inhomogeneities of this fiber composite plastic surface are caused by the textile structure, and a method for producing the fiber composite plastic (11, 13).

The disclosure provides an interior trim part for a motor vehicle having a sliding or panoramic roof comprising a headliner and a stiffening frame attached to the headliner and enclosing and stabilizing an opening in the headliner enclosing the sliding or panoramic window, the stiffening frame being made of a fiber-reinforced composite material comprising a fiber mat and a textile lattice material, the textile lattice material being applied over a surface of the fiber mat and impregnated together therewith.

A seamless tubular liner for repairing an underground or surface pipe is disclosed, including circumferential wefts consisting of slivers comprising a plurality of staple fibers bundled together, the slivers adapted to elongate through disentanglement of the bundled staple fibers when the seamless tubular liner is subjected to an inflation pressure such that the diameter of the tubular liner is able to expand to accommodate variations of diameter of the pipe being repaired.

The present invention relates to a molding made of expanded bead foam, wherein at least one fiber (F) is partly within the molding, i.e. is surrounded by the expanded bead foam. The two ends of the respective fibers (F) that are not surrounded by the expanded bead foam thus each project from one side of the corresponding molding. The present invention further provides a panel comprising at least one such molding and at least one further layer (S1). The present invention further provides processes for producing the moldings of the invention from expanded bead foam or the panels of the invention and for the use thereof, for example as rotor blade in wind turbines.

A waistband for a garment includes a bandroll having an absorption layer and a wicking layer. The wicking layer controls stretch properties of the absorption layer. The waistband comprises a second material and wherein a shrinkage of a material substrate of the bandroll substantially matches a shrinkage of the second material.
