Provided is a heat-resistant shrinkable adhesive film capable of reducing or preventing defects such as shrinkage when exposed to a high temperature even when bonded in a highly stretched state. A heat-resistant shrinkable adhesive film according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes (A) an acid functional group-containing (meth)acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature of about 25° C. or lower, and (B) an acid or base functional group-containing (meth)acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature of about 50° C. or higher, the mixing ratio of the component (A) being larger than the mixing ratio of the component (B), and the adhesive film including an adhesive layer with a crosslinked structure derived from a metal coordination bond crosslinking agent and can be stretched to an area magnification of 4 times or more

The invention relates to multilayer polymer structures having at least three layers. These layers include a polar capstock layer other than an acrylic, an olefinic substrate layer, and a tie layer. The tie layer is selected from olefinic acrylate copolymers, a block copolymer of vinyl aromatic monomer with an aliphatic conjugated diene or a derivative thereof, a copolymer of olefin and (meth)acrylic acid partially or fully in the salt form, a high impact polystyrene, and/or a vinyl cyanide-containing compound. Each layer could contain multiple sub-layers. The multilayer structure exhibits excellent structural integrity, excellent surface appearance, high impact strength, high scratch resistance, and excellent resistance to UV rays.

Apparatus, compositions, and systems for ultraviolet (UV) heat-activated laminating adhesives applied via an inkjet printing process are disclosed. A system includes a first inkjet mechanism configured to deposit ink in a particular pattern onto a surface of a rigid medium. A second inkjet mechanism is configured to deposit a laminating adhesive onto the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium. A pair of stainless steel plates is configured to receive an overlay film layer and the laminating adhesive deposited onto the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium. The overlay film layer is positioned such that a surface of the overlay film layer faces the laminating adhesive. Pressure and heat are applied to the overlay film layer and the laminating adhesive to laminate the particular pattern printed on the surface of the rigid medium.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a refrigerator dispenser lever and a method for manufacturing the same. The lever is capable of reducing post-process activity required to assemble the components, enhancing a sense of unity between components and improving the quality and appearance of the lever by combining individual components during manufacturing using a single injection molding process.

This invention relates to a washable multi-component floor mat. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by at least one surface attraction means and at least one edge attachment means. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation.

A pipe joint (1) comprising: a tubular main body (10) having a flow path inside, which is formed of a resin comprising a copolymer having one or more selected from a vinyl cyanide monomer unit and an acrylic monomer unit, a rubber component, and an aromatic vinyl monomer unit; and a socket section (20a) integrally formed with the main body (10), wherein: the main body (10) has a foamed resin layer (30) and a non-foamed resin layer (50) covering the foamed resin layer (30); the amount of the rubber component in the foamed resin layer (30) as determined by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is within a specific range; the amount of the rubber component in the non-foamed resin layer (50) is within a specific range; and a ratio (L.sub.a/L.sub.a) of length (L.sub.a) from a base end (21a) to an opening end (22a) of the socket section (20a) to a thickness (d.sub.a) of the socket section (20a) at the opening end is 2.0 or more and 10.0 or less.

A vehicle interior component and method of making a vehicle interior component where a plurality of hollow stitch acceptance holes are formed in a component substrate to accommodate a stitch seam in a decorative covering that is attached to the component substrate. The stitch seam extends through the decorative covering to create filled stitch acceptance holes from the hollow stitch acceptance holes. The stitch seam can be created after an in-mold grain process in which the component substrate and decorative covering are laminated together.

A glass article is provided with a cover glass sheet having first and second major surfaces. The second major surface has a first region with a first curve of a first radius of curvature, and a second region that is different than the first region. A frame's support surface has a third region of a first frame material and a fourth region of a different, second frame material. The second major surface faces the support, and the third region includes a second curve that complements the first curve while the fourth region complements the second region. A first adhesive is between the third region and the first region. A second adhesive is disposed between the fourth region and the second region. The first adhesive has a first Youngs modulus, and the second adhesive comprising a second Youngs modulus that is different than the first Youngs modulus.

A sports board incorporating reclaimed/reused sports board materials, and a method of making a such a sports board, allows for incorporation of portions of used (recycled) composite sports boards (or waste from the manufacture thereof) into new sports boards. This lessens the accumulation of composite sports board waste in the global environment, reduces the quantity of new virgin materials needed in the manufacture of new composite sports boards, and lessens the environmental impact of composite sports board manufacture and use. Optionally, the reclaimed sports board material may be incorporated into a new sports board in a manner providing structural enhancements (e.g., increased regional stiffness) to new sports boards. This may allow for structural enhancement while avoiding a significant increase in sports board weight, by incorporating used composite materials into new composite sports boards.
