Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method of promoting optimal stretching of stretch film during a wrapping operation, which method comprises at least the following steps. First a resin suitable for making stretch films is selected. Then a dispersed agent is selected, preferably one which has a refractive index similar to the selected resin such that when a film is made comprising the resin and the dispersed agent, the film will appear somewhat clear. The dispersed agent is then mixed with the resin and a film is formed from the resin containing the dispersed agent. Finally, a load is manually wrapped using such film, wherein during wrapping, the film is stretched to a level where the film becomes more opaque.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a composite element containing a single-piece or multi-piece core and a cover which are frictionally connected to each other, said method at least involving: providing a single-piece or multi-piece core made of an organic material that can be evacuated; at least partially covering the core with a cover so as to obtain a composite element precursor; and treating the composite element precursor for a certain duration such that the organic material that can be evacuated and the surface of the cover that is in contact with the core soften at least partly. The invention further relates to composite elements obtainable or obtained according to a disclosed method as well as to the use of a disclosed composite element as a vacuum insulation panel or thermal insulation material.
Abstract:
An applicator for aligning a screen protector on a portable electronic device with a screen, four edges and a rear face opposite to the screen. The applicator comprises a body with an engagement member and an alignment feature. The engagement member is arranged for edgewise engagement with no more than three of the four edges of the device to align the applicator with the device by movement in a direction generally parallel to the plane of the screen such that the alignment feature covers a portion of the face of the device comprising the screen which is not covered by the screen protector allowing an edge of the screen protector to be located with respect to the alignment feature.
