The invention relates to a planar textile substrate comprising on a surface a coating that contains a water-activated adhesive, said adhesive representing an aqueous dispersion of the following composition.

A composite sheet and a method for producing a decorative sheet using the composite sheet are provided. The composite sheet has a base layer and a foamable layer bonded to the base layer. The foamable layer includes 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin material having an elastic modulus of <0.1 GPa, 0.1 - 10 parts by weight of a foaming agent, and 0 - 200 parts by weight of additives. The foamable layer has a thickness of 0.05 to 0.3 mm.

A method of manufacturing building panels includes assembling a frame of a building panel. The frame defines at least one cavity and at least one injection aperture in fluid communication with the at least one cavity. The method also includes positioning the frame on one of a base and a shelf of a multi-panel consolidation device having a plurality of shelves, with the shelves being in an expanded configuration, and at least substantially enclosing the at least one cavity. The method also includes forcing the shelves of the multi-panel consolidation device into a collapsed configuration, and injecting an expandable polymer through the at least one injection aperture into the at least one cavity. The method further includes forcing the shelves into an expanded configuration after a predetermined period of time selected to permit the expandable polymer to form a foam bonded to the frame.

Provided are compounds of the following: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1 is a saturated or unsaturated cyclic hydrocarbon optionally substituted with an alkyl and/or an OXO-ester, and R.sub.2 is a C.sub.4 to C.sub.14 hydrocarbyl, preferably the residue of a C.sub.4 to C.sub.14 OXO-alcohol. Also provided are processes for making the compounds and plasticized polymer compositions containing said compounds.

A reusable wallpaper and method for producing reusable wallpaper for removable attachment to a wall or ceiling surface with wallpaper paste. The wallpaper includes only a flat base layer without a paste coating applied by the manufacturer. The flat base layer is in the form of a textile, in particular synthetic fibers.

The invention pertains to a method for applying a structured surface to a building surface, particularly for the interior design of a room, wherein a carrier material is provided with a surface structure and the carrier material with this surface structure is applied to the building surface.

A splicable environmentally-friendly non-PVC advertising cloth made of a woven structure, wherein the advertising cloth comprising a mesh base layer (40); a first adhesion-promoting structural layer (10), which is a refractory and waterproof layer covering the front surface (43) and the rear surface (44) of the mesh base layer (40); a second adhesion-promoting structural layer (20) coated on the first surface (13) of the first adhesion-promoting structure layer (10); and a third adhesion-promoting structural layer (30) coated on the upper surface (24) of the second adhesion-promoting structure layer (20), therefore, waterproof and ink-absorbing structure arranged on a mesh base (40) layer, and the width of the advertising cloth (50) can be spliced unlimitedly as required by using high frequency splicing, making the environmentally friendly advertising cloth more applicable also improving the overall advertising effect and quality.

A reusable wallpaper and method for producing reusable wallpaper for removable attachment to a wall or ceiling surface with wallpaper paste. The wallpaper includes only a flat base layer without a paste coating applied by the manufacturer. The flat base layer is in the form of a textile, in particular synthetic fibers.

A decorative material includes a base material, a first cover layer, and a second cover layer. The first cover layer is laminated on the base material and covers the base material. The first cover layer is made of opaque synthesis resin. The second cover layer is laminated on the first cover layer and covers the first cover layer. The second cover layer is made of chromatic and transparent synthesis resin. The first cover layer contains first coloring pigment and bright pigment. The first coloring pigment has no luster. The bright pigment has luster. The second cover layer contains second coloring pigment. The second coloring pigment has no luster.

Laminate precursors are prepared by applying an aqueous foamed opacifying composition to a non-woven fabric, drying, optionally applying an anti-blocking material to the dried aqueous foamed opacifying composition, and densifying the dry foamed opacifying layer so that it will have a thickness that is at least 20% less than its thickness before densifying. Each laminate precursor is rolled up for immediate or later use to make laminate decorative articles when the unrolled laminate precursor is laminated with back side of a decorative fabric. The applied aqueous foamed opacifying composition has 35%-70% solids and a foam density of 0.1-0.5 g/cm.sup.3. It is composed of (a) porous particles, (b) a binder material, (c) two or more additives comprising at least one foaming surfactant and at least one foam stabilizer, (d) an aqueous medium, and (e) an opacifying colorant that absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 380-800 nm.
