According to exemplary inventive practice, a personal armor system includes a textile-based layer not exceeding ½-half-inch thickness, and an elastomeric coating not exceeding ⅛-inch thickness. The textile-based layer includes a fiber reinforcement and a resin binder. The combined areal density of the textile-based layer and the elastomeric coating does not exceed 2.5 psf. According to a first mode of inventive practice, the elastomeric coating is essentially a strain-rate-sensitivity-hardening elastomer, and the areal density of the textile-based layer does not exceed 2.3 psf. According to a second mode of inventive practice, the elastomeric coating is essentially a microparticle-filled strain-rate-sensitivity-hardening elastomeric matrix material, and the areal density of the textile-based layer does not exceed 1.7 psf. The microparticles (e.g., spherical glass microparticles) do not exceed, by weight, 30 percent of the strain-rate-sensitivity-hardening elastomeric matrix material. The textile-based layer affords ballistic protection; the elastomeric coating affords protection against sharp/pointed objects.

The invention relates to artificial turf, synthetic backing material, synthetic filament, and cooling of artificial turf. The artificial turf comprises synthetic turf filaments, the synthetic turf filaments comprise a blend, the blend comprises 65-99.5% by total weight of the blend of a polyolefin, and 0.5-35% by total weight of the blend of a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the polyolefin is polyethylene, polypropylene, or any combination thereof, and wherein the artificial turf is preferably in the form of a tile carpet.

Provided is a composite sheet material having a first layer and an airlaid nonwoven layer overlying the first layer wherein the airlaid nonwoven layer includes a blend of bamboo derived staple fibers and non-cellulose staple fibers, and in which the airlaid nonwoven layer includes a first surface disposed towards, and thermally bonded, to a surface of the first layer, and a second surface defining an outer surface of the composite sheet material.

A carpet tile includes a textile top member and a carrier mat that is coupled with the textile top member via a thermoplastic material. The textile top member includes carpet yarns and a backing that is coupled with the carpet yarns so that the backing structurally supports the carpet yarns. The carrier mat includes a polymeric material component, a reinforcement, and a binder that is uniformly distributed throughout the polymeric material component and reinforcement component. The polymeric material component includes polymer fibers that are randomly oriented and entangled together. The reinforcement is disposed within the polymeric material component so that the reinforcement is entirely covered and concealed by the entangled polymer fibers to prevent exposure to a user. The reinforcement mechanically reinforces and stabilizes the polymeric material component and carpet tile.

Artificial grass (100, 200, 320) with good fire-retardant performance including its manufacturing process (300) is disclosed, particularly to be used for indoor applications. The fire retardant, particularly of halogen-based type (311), is incorporated within the artificial fiber filaments (101, 201, 301). The backing (102, 202, 302) onto which the artificial fiber filaments (101, 201, 301) are attached, may also be provided with a fire retardant.

Artificial turf for use with an artificial turf system, which may also include a base layer and a support layer. The artificial turf comprising a backing supporting pile tufts of between ¼″ to 4″ in length, in position on its upper surface. The backing may comprise a porous synthetic foam or backing sheet. A filler of particles shaped to have no sharp edges and of substantially equal size are interspersed over the backing and about the tufts up to at least half thick length. The artificial turf substantially retains its resiliency, porosity and equal density throughout.

A wrapping material having three distinct polymeric layers interfaced with a woven polymeric scrim is disclosed. A first polymeric layer is formed by extruding a first polymeric coating onto the scrim. A second polymeric layer and a third polymeric layer are simultaneously formed by co-extruding a second polymeric coating onto the scrim and a third polymeric coating onto the second polymeric coating.

A variety of plates for footwear are provided including a polyolefin resin. Sole structures and articles of footwear formed therefrom are also provided. Methods of making the polyolefin resin compositions, plates, sole structures, and articles of footwear are also provided. In some aspects, the polyolefin resin composition includes an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier. The effective amount can be an amount effective to allow the resin composition to pass a flex test, and in particular to pass a flex test without significant change in abrasion loss. In some aspects, the resin composition also includes a clarifying agent to improve optical clarity of the plate. In some aspects, the plates include a textile disposed on one or both of a first side and the second side of the plate. The textile can provide for improved bonding of the plate to other components such as a chassis or an upper.

The carpet tile system uses preferably Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH).sub.3) as a flame retardant in the secondary backing of the carpet tile or in the pre-coat adhesive on the primary backing, or alternatively uses Magnesium Hydroxide (Mg(OH).sub.2). The flame retardant has been optimized to interact with the other components of the system to produce a carpet tile that achieves flammability ratings that are comparable or superior to carpet tiles with more expensive pile fibers.
