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.

Pressure sensitive adhesive-coated articles comprising first and second layers each having first and second opposed major surfaces and between the first and second layers a series of first walls providing a series of microchannels, and methods for making the same. Embodiment of articles described herein are useful, for example, in cushioning applications where high levels of compression are desired.

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.

A sealing for arrangement between a wall and a wall covering includes a sealing sheet and an adhesive tape. The sealing sheet and the adhesive tape each have a carrier layer of a preferably closed-cell foam plastic. Furthermore, the sealing sheet can bear a nonwoven fabric preferably on the wall-facing side, wherein border strips remain free of the nonwoven fabric for underlapping with an adhesive tape.

The present invention relates to an acoustical and thermal decoupling system (10) in a form of a polymer tape that includes a closed-cell foam layer (12) having a front side and a reverse side, a pressure sensitive adhesive (14) coated on the reverse side of the closed-cell foam layer (12), and a release liner (16) covering the pressure sensitive adhesive (14) on the reverse side of the closed-cell foam layer (12). The acoustical and thermal decoupling system (10) may be installed directly to a structural member of a building by removing the release liner (16) from the reverse side of the closed-cell foam layer (12) and pressing the reverse side of the closed-cell foam layer (12) against the structural member, allowing the pressure sensitive adhesive (14) to bond the closed-cell foam layer (12) directly to the structural member.

Disclosed herein is a technique for further improving the quietness in a vehicle cabin while reducing an increase in the weight of a motor vehicle. A noise reduction member, arranged in a fender inner space defined between a fender panel serving as an exterior panel for a motor vehicle and an inner fender forming a wheelhouse, includes a pair of wall portions which are made of a foamed material and arranged to be spaced apart from each other.

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.

The present disclosure provides an article. The article includes a crosslinked foam composition, an adhesive layer, and a substrate composed of an olefin-based polymer. The crosslinked foam composition includes an ethylene/a-olefin multi-block copolymer, an ethylene/propylene/diene terpolymer (EPDM), optional silicone rubber, optional blend component selected from ethylene/aolefin random copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), styrene-butadiene block copolymer, hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer, and combinations thereof, optional plasticizer, optional filler, and optional additive.

A foam sheet core, including a plurality of foam sheet walls defining an array of hollow cells, wherein the plurality of foam sheet walls are bonded together to form the array of hollow cells, each of the plurality of foam sheet walls has a thickness from about 0.002 inches to about 0.08 inches, and each of the plurality of foam sheet walls has an average height from about 0.05 inches to about 5 inches.

Provided is a display apparatus including a display panel that is capable of being rolled up, and a protection member, the protection member including a back surface portion layered closer to a back surface of the display panel, a first folded portion folded toward a front surface of the display panel from one end of the back surface portion in an orthogonal direction orthogonal to a roll-up direction in which the display panel is rolled up, and a second folded portion folded toward the front surface from another end of the back surface portion in the orthogonal direction. In the display apparatus, the first folded portion includes a first front surface portion arranged at one end of the front surface in the orthogonal direction, and the second folded portion includes a second front surface portion arranged at another end of the front surface in the orthogonal direction.
