An elastomeric composition, including at least one skin layer and a core layer, with non-blocking properties such that the elastomeric composition can be wound is provided. The core layer includes an elastomer, and the skin layer includes an elastomer, which may be the same or different from the core layer, and a non-elastic polyolefin. Further, the skin layer can be present as a small portion of the total elastomeric composition, and may maintain the elastic efficiency of the composition.

Recyclable films and methods of making the recyclable films are provided. The recyclable films include a low melt index blend of super hexene LLDPE and bimodal HDPE and an anti-stick additive having a melting point of at least about 115° C. The recyclable films have a heat resistant coating on the film surface that prevents the film from softening and sticking to heat seal jaws during the production process. The recyclable films also have improved tear strength and melt strength such that instances of tears or break offs during the machine direction orientation portion of the production process are significantly reduced or eliminated.

There are provided rolls comprising an air and water barrier article having opposing first and second major surfaces, a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on at least the first major surface of the article, and a liner having a first major surface that contacts the opposing second major surface of the article, and at least two adhesion modifying zones disposed between the second major surface of the article and the first major surface of the liner, wherein both of a first and second adhesion modifying zones contact the first major surface of the liner, and wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive contacts a second major surface of the liner when wound in the roll. There are also provided films made using these air and water barrier articles and building envelopes made using such films.

Described herein is a building panel comprising a body comprising a first fibrous material comprising inorganic fiber, a non-woven scrim coupled to the body; and wherein the non-woven scrim has a thickness ranging from about 8 mils to about 20 mils.

The present invention relates to a multilayer film including at least one film surface which has an increased surface roughness achieved by protrusion creating particles. The at least one film surface may have a surface roughness characterized by a coefficient of roughness (CR) of ≥0.02 or a Parker Print Surf roughness of at least 2 μm.

The present invention relates to an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition, a single-layer film and a multilayer structure containing the same. Said ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition includes an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, an antioxidant, and a fluorine-containing compound; and the ratio of the antioxidant content to the fluorine content is 0.5 to 65. Thereby, the film containing said ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition not only has good heat resistance, but also can avoid the situation that a large number of gels are generated during the preparation process.

A graphic sheet is provided that can be affixed with sufficient adhesive force onto wallpaper, a poster, or other substrate having comparatively low strength, and can be easily renewed without damaging the substrate, which is the underlying layer. A graphic sheet of an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a base film layer having a first surface and a second surface situated on an opposite side of the first surface; and a tacky acrylic foam layer disposed on or above the second surface of the base film layer. The acrylic foam layer contains an acrylic polymer having 20 mass % or more of a unit derived from ethyl acrylate.

Breathable multilayer films suitable for a wide variety of uses (e.g., protective apparel, surgical gowns, surgical drapes, aprons, roofing material, house wrap, etc.) are disclosed. The breathable multilayer film may include a monolithic core layer. The monolithic core layer may comprise at least one highly breathable polymer. The breathable multilayer film may also include at least one skin layer. The skin layer or layers may comprise at least one highly breathable polymer, a filler, and a non-breathable material. An exemplary structure of the breathable multilayer film provides a monolithic core layer, a first skin layer on one side of the monolithic core layer, and a second skin layer on the other side of the monolithic core layer. An exemplary construction of one or both of the skin layers includes one or more highly breathable polymers, a filler, and a non-breathable material. The filler, for example, may comprise calcium carbonate.

Multiple layer interlayers having enhanced optical and acoustic properties are provided, along with methods of making and using the same. Interlayers as described herein may include at least two outer skin layers and an inner core layer, with one of the outer skin layers having a different thickness than the other at one or more locations along the interlayer. The multi-layer interlayer may also exhibit acoustic properties and, in some cases, may have an overall wedged thickness profile. Additionally, in some aspects, interlayers and laminates formed therefrom may also provide reduced infrared energy transmission, without sacrificing acoustic and/or optical performance.

An article of footwear has an upper, an outsole attached to the upper, and a midsole. The outsole includes a ground-engaging surface and an inner surface disposed on opposite sides. The midsole has a footbed and a bottom surface disposed on opposite sides. The bottom surface opposes the inner surface to define a cavity therebetween. The article of footwear also includes a first series of projections extending into the cavity from one of the inner surface and the bottom surface in a first direction toward the other of the inner surface and the bottom surface. The article of footwear also includes a second series of projection extending into the cavity from one of the inner surface and the bottom surface in the first direction toward the other of the inner surface and the bottom surface. The article of footwear also includes a quantity of particulate matter disposed within the cavity.
