A curative for epoxidized plant-based oils and epoxidized natural rubber is created from the reaction between a naturally occurring polyfunctional acid and an epoxidized plant-based oil is disclosed. The curative may be used to produce at least one of six different materials, wherein each type of material may be configured as a thermosetting elastomer that is crosslinked with β-hydroxyester linkages. The materials may be configured as a leather-like material, a foam material, a molded elastomer, a coating, an adhesive, and/or a rigid or semi-rigid material. Illustrative articles made from any combination of the six materials may be recycled using a mechano-chemical process to de-crosslink the thermosetting elastomer.

A method of producing a veneered element, including providing a substrate, applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer, and applying pressure to the veneer layer and/or the substrate, such that at least a portion of the sub-layer permeates through the veneer layer. Also, such a veneered element.

A method for making an expansion wall is provided. The method can include applying a matrix to a first ply and applying an expansion element to the surface of the matrix. A second ply is applied over the first ply to trap the matrix and expansion element therebetween. The applied expansion element is entrained into the applied matrix to provide an expansion material that is configured to expand to, and solidify in, an expanded condition upon activation.

The invention relates to a base body (10) for receiving a print image structure (20), in particular for flexographic printing, comprising a sleeve (10.1), an elastic layer (10.2) applied onto the sleeve (10.1) for holding an outer carrier layer (10.3), and the outer carrier layer (103), the carrier layer (10.3) being designed in such a mariner that the print image structure (20) can be applied.

A double-sided adhesive tape having a heat-activatable adhesive layer protected with an interliner, in order to allow such tapes to be guided stably over cutting and winding units and also to be stably stored and transported, has a composite system comprising: an adhesive tape (A) comprising: a pressure sensitive adhesive layer, and a heat-activatable adhesive layer; a release liner situated on the pressure sensitive adhesive layer of the tape (A); and an adhesive tape (B) comprising: a carrier layer, a release layer on one side of the carrier layer, and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer on the side of the carrier layer opposite the release layer and in direct contact with the heat-activatable adhesive layer of tape (A).

Also disclosed is a method for producing a composite system of this kind, and the specific use of the tape (B).

Provided is a composition for a self-suction adhering foam sheet that can be used to obtain a self-suction adhering foam laminate sheet that has excellent air releasability while also inhibiting formation of resin residue on metal after weathering. The composition for a self-suction adhering foam sheet contains a polymer including an unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer unit in a proportion of not less than 0.1 mass % and not more than 20 mass %, a cross-linker, and 1.5 parts by mass or more of a higher fatty acid salt per 100 parts by mass of the polymer.

A method for manufacturing a core-material-containing garment, the method includes: a feeding step of feeding fabric (2) in a wound state onto a conveyor table (1) without relaxing or substantially relaxing the fabric (2); a core material application step of applying a reactive hot-melt adhesive to the fabric (2) on the conveyor table (1) to form a core material (12); an adhesive application step of applying a bonding hot-melt adhesive (13) configured to bond the fabric (2); and a drying step of drying the applied bonding hot-melt adhesive (13), and in the core material application step, the reactive hot-melt adhesive is mixed with nitrogen gas and foamed, and the reactive hot-melt adhesive is applied using an application device provided with a resin discharge unit that is movable in at least two axial directions of vertical and horizontal directions.

A building panel with a surface layer including a wood veneer, a wood fibre based core and a sub-layer between the surface layer and the core. The sub-layer includes wood fibres and a binder. The surface layer has surface portions including material from the sub-layer. The surface portions including material from the sub-layer extend into the wood veneer.

A double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive strip is provided that includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive strip comprising two opposing strip surfaces configured for bonding. At least one conductive component connects the two opposing strip surfaces configured for bonding in the z-direction. Also provided is a component and/or a composite, which is bonded with the conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive strip. Further, uses are provided of the conductive pressure-sensitive adhesive strip.
