Abstract:
A method to produce a wear resistant foil, including providing a first foil including a first thermoplastic material, applying wear resistant particles on the first foil, applying a second foil including a second thermoplastic material on the first foil, and adhering the first foil and the second foil to each other to form a wear resistant foil.
Abstract:
A hybrid crane/rig mat that has outer side members of first and second side beams or boards of engineered lumber, oak or other hardwoods, or bumper members of solid or filled or unfilled hollow plastic members; a core structure of a metal or thermosetting plastic frame that includes side and end members and that contains therein a plurality of longitudinal members made of wood, engineered lumber, or of plastic or elastomeric materials; and a plurality of joining rods that pass through the outer side members, the core structure and longitudinal members to attach the outer side members to the core structure. The first end of the mat includes a male member and the second end of the mat includes a female member so that a first end of one mat can be releasably interlocked with a second end of a similarly configured and adjacently positioned additional mat.
Abstract:
An industrial mat having a supporting structure; an upper layer provided above the supporting structure for forming an upper surface of the mat, a lower layer provided below the supporting structure for providing a lower surface of the mat; and lifting elements attached to the upper layer, the lower layer or the supporting structure. The lifting elements include D-shaped members, O-shaped members, U-shaped members, eyelets, hooks, circular or polygonal rings, chains, or cables that are configured and dimensioned for attachment to attached to the supporting structure or the upper or lower layer with sufficient strength to provide certified overhead lifting of the mat for installation and reclamation thereof.

Abstract:
The flexible packaging composites include one or more mineral-containing layers with a thermoplastic bonding agent. In addition to the mineral-containing layer, the composite can contain one or more non-mineral containing layers, including various combinations of extruded resins, cast or blown films, and fibers. The mineral-containing layer is substantially and continuously bonded to the other layers. The polymer, fiber, and mineral containing layers can be shaped, sized and manufactured such that the composite structure formed is subsequently machined to form a storage article. The composite structure has advantages including a high degree of pliability and flexibility, a minimum 37 dyne level on the surface of the mineral containing layer; a mineral containing layer that is highly 86 opaque, and has a bright, white printing surface that readily accepts coating and inks, therefore, rendering it highly attractive to consumers.
Abstract:
A multi-layered composite wood panel including a core layer, a first surface layer and a second surface layer. The core layer is formed from wood flakes and has a top surface and a bottom surface. The first surface layer is adhered to the top surface of the core layer and includes strands of woven bamboo. The second surface layer is adhered to the bottom surface of the core layer and includes strands of woven bamboo. The core layer, first surface layer and second surface layer are bound together to form a substantially rectangular plane having a thickness of between about 0.25 inches and about 2.0 inches.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a ligno-cellulosic building board having a nonrepetitive textured surface on at least one side. This side consists of a layer of ligno-cellulosic particles with elevations and depressions, the specific gravity of the particles of the elevations being substantially the same as the specific gravity of the particles in the depressions. The density of the fibers at the surface has therefore been equalized over the entire area of the board. In one form of the invention a layer of coarse particles is used, the sharpness of the edges of the coarse particles being concealed with fine particles. The product is produced by pressing a layer of binder coated ligno-cellulosic particles on a substrate in a hot plate press with a cushion, preferably of silicone rubber, between the hot platen of the press and the layer of particles.
