One aspect of the invention provides a system including: a length of energy-dissipative tubing; a first sealing device coupled to a first end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing; and a second sealing device coupled to a second end of the length of energy-dissipative tubing. Exposure to one or more selected from the group consisting of: fault currents or lightning strikes at an exposure point along the length of energy-dissipative tubing will produce arcs at the exposure point and at least one of the first end and the second end.

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 invention relates to an insulated panel, in particular a wall panel or roof panel, including a foamed core layer and a cover layer affixed to the foamed core layer. The invention also relates to an insulating covering, in particular a wall covering or floor covering, including a plurality said insulated panels.

A laminate body including a base material and a flat silicone sealing layer adhered thereto, generally without any voids, is provided. Also provided is a curable hot melt silicone composition layer with a particular curable hot melt silicone composition, providing a laminate body that does not readily cause stress on a substrate after the curable hot melt silicone composition is cured. A laminate body comprises a base material, and a curable hot melt silicone composition layer in contact with the base material. The curable hot melt silicone composition includes an organopolysiloxane resin containing siloxane units selected from a group containing T units or Q units making up at least 20 mol % or more of all siloxane units. The curable hot melt silicone composition generally has a melt viscosity as measured using a flow tester at a pressure of 2.5 MPa and at 100° C. of 5,000 Pa.Math.s or less.

A non-woven protective clothing against blood and viruses, which is composed from: a non-woven fabric layer, which has two surfaces; and a high waterproof moisture-permeable layer, which is a porous film that is laminated to one of the surfaces of the non-woven fabric layer; and an elastic pore filling layer, which is a hydrophilic polyurethane. The elastic pore filling layer is coated or printed onto the surface of the high waterproof moisture-permeable layer, and the thickness of the elastic pore filling layer is thinner than that of the high waterproof moisture-permeable layer. The synthetic blood permeability of the non-woven protective clothing against blood and viruses can resist a pressure of 2.0 psi for one minute, and the Phi-X174 bacteriophage penetrability thereof can resist a pressure of 2.0 psi for one minute.

Provided are a film and a water stopping tape that realize long-lasting water stopping properties. The film includes an outermost layer that contains a water-absorbent polymer and a fiber assembly and a substrate layer in this order, in which a degree of out-of-plane swelling of the outermost layer is higher than a degree of in-plane swelling of the outermost layer, and the water stopping tape includes the film.

The present invention discloses a quantum-dot composite film comprising: a quantum-dot prism film, comprising a quantum-dot layer and a first plurality of prisms disposed over the quantum-dot layer, wherein a first optical prism film and a second optical prism film are disposed over the quantum-dot prism film for increasing the brightness level of the quantum-dot prism film.

Described herein is a process for preparing a flexible packaging material. The process may comprise: providing a printed first flexible substrate comprising an ink composition on a surface of a first flexible substrate, the ink composition comprising a first thermoplastic resin; depositing a further composition comprising a cross-linker, a white pigment and a second thermoplastic resin onto the printed ink composition such that the thermoplastic resin of the ink composition is cross-linked; and laminating the first flexible substrate with a second flexible substrate such that the ink composition, the further composition and the cross-linker are disposed between the first and second flexible substrates.

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.
