The invention relates to a layered material, comprising a substrate and at least one layer A, wherein the at least one layer A comprises at least 50 wt % of a branched copolyester, wherein wt % is with respect to the total weight of layer A, and wherein the branched copolyester has a melting temperature of between 125° C. and 185° C., Mz/Mw of at least 3.5, and having a Melt Flow Index (MFI) of at most 10 g/10 min as measured at 190° C. with 2.16 kg. The invention also relates to a film comprising at least one layer A.

A wood or engineered wood structural panel, such as, but not limited to, OSB (“oriented strand board”) or plywood, that is both fire-resistant and water resistant. The panel is factory-coated with a product that provides fire resistance. The treatment gives it a Fire-Resistant (FR) performance (for use in a one- or two-hour rated assembly). The panel also is overlaid or coated in a factory setting with a weather/water resistive barrier (WRB). The structural panel thus combines a fire-resistant structural sheathing and WRB product in one integrated panel produced at a factory prior for installation at a job site.

The present invention provides a composite structure, a method for its manufacture, a sewn product containing the composite structure, and a method for manufacturing the sewn product. The composite structure comprises a foam layer, a textile layer, a cover layer and a lacquer layer in this order, wherein the foam layer has a density of at most 300 kg/m.sup.3 and contains a polyolefin, the cover layer is thermoplastic and comprises at least two compact sublayers of different composition, each sublayer containing at least one thermoplastic selected from polyolefin and polyvinyl chloride.

A polymeric film, sheet, or extrusion coating is formed as a multilayered structure having at least one A layer and at least one B layer. The polymeric film, sheet, or extrusion coating is able to include at least 30% recycled content resin while also exhibiting improved stiffness and strength relative to films with purely virgin polymers. One embodiment of the present invention further presents improved oxygen barrier properties relative to existing films, sheets, or extrusion coatings. Due to the strong structural properties, the polymeric film, sheet, or extrusion coating allows for the inclusion of recycled content into applications where recycled content has previously not been able to be included, such as flexible food, pharmaceutical, or cosmetics packaging.

The invention comprises a peelable membrane for resealably closing a metal end comprising an outer layer, a tacky layer, and a heat seal layer. The heat seal layer is permanently sealed to the metal end to cover at least one opening in the metal end. The tacky layer causes the peelable membrane to be resealable onto the metal end.

Pillar delivery films for vacuum insulated glass units are disclosed. The delivery films include a support film or pocket tape, a sacrificial material on the support film, and a plurality of pillars. The pillars are at least partially embedded in the sacrificial material or formed within sacrificial material molds, and the sacrificial material is capable of being removed while leaving the pillars substantially intact. Methods of transferring pillars to a substrate using the pillar delivery films are disclosed. In order to make an insulated glass unit, the delivery films are laminated to a receptor such as a glass pane, and the support film and sacrificial material are removed to leave the pillars remaining on the glass.

A packaging sheet is described. The sheet comprises a first rigid component, a second rigid component, and a multilayer film. Each of the first rigid component and the second rigid component comprises styrenic polymer, aromatic polyester, aliphatic polyester, polypropylene homopolymer, or blends thereof. The multilayer film is a blown, coextruded film positioned between the first rigid component and the second rigid component and comprises (a) an outer layer, (b) a barrier component, and (c) an inner layer, where the barrier component is positioned between the outer layer and the inner layer. The first rigid component is coated on or laminated to a first surface of the multilayer film and the second rigid component is coated on or laminated to an opposing second surface of the multilayer film such that the sheet is not a fully coextruded sheet. Various embodiments of the sheet are also described.
