The panel includes a water resistant barrier layer secured atop its outward facing surface. The water resistant barrier layer includes a skid resistant surface. The panels are made of lignocellulosic material. The water resistant and skid resistant surface may include indicia for aligning strips of tape or for aligning fasteners. A method for manufacturing the water resistant building panels is also disclosed and includes the steps of feeding paper onto a forming belt, depositing lignocellulosic material and the binding agent onto the forming belt so as to form a lignocellulosic mat, applying heat and pressure so as to impart the skid resistant surface on the paper, and cutting panels to predetermined sizes.

Waterproof engineered floor and wall planks have a veneer layer bonded with a plastic composite core, and an underlayer, preferably an underlayer of cork.

The invention relates to a composite tile for an installation system, more particularly for the production of a floor covering or wall covering, comprising a tile of a floor covering or wall covering and a backing disposed on the lay-on face of the tile. The invention also relates to a connecting element for the connection of two composite tiles and to an installation system composed of composite tiles and also to a method for the fabrication of a composite tile. The backing consists of a fiber composite material, more particularly fiber cement.

A method of producing a veneered element, including providing a substrate, applying a sub-layer on a surface of the substrate, applying a veneer layer on the sub-layer, and applying pressure to the veneer layer and/or the substrate, such that at least a portion of the sub-layer permeates through the veneer layer. Also, such a veneered element.

A flexible display device includes a display panel, the display panel including a display surface and a rear surface opposite each other, and a plurality of adhesive films on at least one of the display surface and the rear surface, each of the plurality of adhesive films including at least one hole, wherein the plurality of adhesive films have a decreasing density, as a distance from a neutral plane of the flexible display device increases.

The plurality of pieces of low density cellular material, such as foam plastics, form a core panel having opposite side surfaces and with adjacent pieces having opposing edge surfaces extending between the side surfaces. Sheets of flexible material, such as veils or mats or scrim, are adhesively attached to the side surfaces, and portions of one sheet extend between the opposing adjacent edge surfaces for limiting flexing of the panel. The pieces may be tapered, and portions of the one sheet may project between the edge surfaces either partially or fully to form double wall webs. The webs may have flanges adhesively attached to the other sheet on the opposite side. One sheet may also be stretchable in areas not adhesively attached to the pieces to provide for curving the panel from a planar position maintained by the sheet on the opposite side.

There is provided an optical laminate with pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on both surfaces, which is suppressed damage from occurring to a low-refractive index layer in vacuum lamination while maintaining excellent characteristics of the low-refractive index layer. An optical laminate with pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on both surfaces according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a substrate; a low-retractive index layer formed on the substrate; a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer arranged so as to be adjacent to the low-refractive index layer; and a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer serving as one outermost layer. The low-refractive index layer has a porosity of 50% or more, the first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a storage modulus of elasticity of from 1.3×10.sup.5 (Pa) to 1.0×10.sup.7 (Pa), and the second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a storage modulus of elasticity of 1.0×10.sup.5 (Pa) or less.

Disclosed are powerful adhesive tapes, which rapidly coat rough and/or curved surfaces with different surface energies and thereby build up high adhesion. The adhesive joints formed in this way furthermore have good shear strength, even at elevated temperatures. Finally, enduring mechanical loading on the adhesive joints does not lead to the adhesive tape peeling from the surface. This is achieved with an adhesive tape comprising at least one foamed layer and at least one adhesive compound layer, wherein the adhesive compound layer contains at least one poly(meth)acrylate, and the poly(meth)acrylate is cross-linked with at least one covalent and at least one coordinative cross-linker.
