The present invention relates to a composite comprising (1) a bottom layer comprising expanded thermoplastic elastomer particles; and (2) a surface layer on the bottom layer, and the use of such composites in flooring surfaces sports, sports hall floorings, swimming pool hall floorings, running tracks, sports facilities, playgrounds, kindergartens, park walkway and pavements.

A laminate body is provided which contains a thin prepreg having a component (A) containing a matrix of reinforcing fiber, a component (B) containing a thermosetting resin, and a component (C) containing particles of a thermoplastic resin. When molded and cured out of autoclave, the laminate body achieves a fiber-reinforced composite having a low void ratio and providing excellent mechanical performance.

The present disclosure relates to compositions, laminates, films and/or composites made from polymers, such as thermoplastic polyurethane (“TPU”). The films have one or more optical layers made from materials that allow the transmission of visible light and reflect or absorb UV light. A composite having an infrared (“IR”) cutoff layer, and a polymer layer desirably having an ultraviolet (“UV”) absorber is disposed between layers of glass or artificial glass, combined with polycarbonate (“PC”) or polyethylene terephalate (“PET”) layers.

An inkjet printing method for manufacturing decorative laminate panels ordered by a customer includes i) providing an inkjet printing device with a print job including one or more decorative patterns and an identification code assigned to the one or more decorative patterns; and ii) printing the one or more decorative patterns with one or more inkjet inks and applying the identification code on a substrate web, wherein the substrate web is a paper substrate and the one or more inkjet inks are aqueous pigmented inkjet inks are printed on the substrate web before impregnation with a thermosetting resin; or the one or more inkjet inks are UV curable inkjet inks and the substrate web is a thermoplastic substrate web based on a material selected from the group consisting of polyvinylchloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyethylene-terephthalate (PET) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).

A method for manufacturing a packaging body according to the present disclosure includes the steps of: (A) preparing a packaging material that includes an innermost layer containing a resin composition containing a polypropylene resin and a filler dispersed in the resin composition, a ratio Y/X of an average particle diameter Y μm of the filler to a thickness X μm of the innermost layer being 0.02 to 3.5; (B) producing a packaging body that has the packaging material and an oil-in-water dispersion-type content hermetically housed by the packaging material; and (C) subjecting the packaging body to a heating treatment so as to absorb oil contained in the content into the innermost layer.

A release liner and a method for producing the same are provided. The release liner includes a resin base layer and two resin release layers. The resin base layer has two surfaces opposite to each other. The two resin release layers are respectively formed on the two surfaces of the resin base layer. Each of the resin release layers includes: a non-polar resin material and a polar resin material. In each of the resin release layers, the polar resin material is dispersed in the non-polar resin material in a plurality of granular forms, an average particle size of the polar resin material ranges from 0.1 μm to 10 μm, and a content of the polar resin material in the resin release layer ranges from 10 wt % to 50 wt %, so that a surface roughness (Ra) of the resin release layer ranges from 0.1 μm to 10 μm.

A plasterboard comprising a gypsum matrix having wood particles embedded therein in an amount of at least 2 wt % relative to the gypsum, the gypsum matrix further comprising glass fibres in an amount of at least 1 wt % relative to the gypsum.

The objective of the present invention is to provide a mold-release film that docs not contaminate the mold or the formed body. This invention provides a mold-release film comprising a base material layer formed from a thermoplastic resin, and a surface layer formed from a resin composition layered on at least one surface of the base material layer. The mold-release film has a trouser tear strength, conforming to JIS K 7128-1, of 5 N/mm or stronger. The resin composition has a peel strength of 15 mN/30 mm or weaker, as measured at 175° C. in accordance with JIS Z0237. The resin composition has an elongation at break of 70% or greater, as measured at 175° C. in accordance with JIS K 7127.

A plasterboard comprising a gypsum matrix having wood particles embedded therein in an amount of at least 2 wt % relative to the gypsum, the gypsum matrix further comprising glass fibres in an amount of at least 1 wt % relative to the gypsum.
