Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a building panel (1) including a water resistant core (5) comprising thermoplastic material 21 and a surface layer (4) comprising thermosetting resins. Production methods to form a board material (1') with a dry blend of thermoplastic particles 21a in powder form and fillers in powder form and to apply a surface layer (4) with a hot-hot lamination process to a core (5) comprising such board material are also described.
Abstract:
A fire blocking non-woven needlepunched textile structure, comprising a first fiber component containing polyacrylonitrile copolymer with a halogen containing monomer and a second fiber component. The second fiber component is selected such that it supports the first fiber component during burning, optionally including an inorganic filler as a coating for the first and second fiber components. In alternative embodiment, the present invention provides a fire blocking non-woven textile structure containing the above first and second fiber components, blended with a third binder fiber component in the form of a vertically lapped nonwoven structure.
Abstract:
A coating solution for textured surfaces can comprise water, a water-soluble or water-dispersible organic binder which preferably is radiation curable, and a dispersion of particles and/or their preformed aggregates having a refractive index either larger, matching, or smaller than a refractive index of the organic binder or its cured polymer. Two refractive indices can be chosen, depending upon whether a textured surface appearance of frost, transparency, or ultralow reflectivity, respectively, is desired. Water evaporation from energy curable coatings can be used, preferably containing a high loading of insoluble and/or non-swelling particles and their aggregates, at least one of whose dimensions are preferably larger than the dried film, so as to expose these particles or their aggregates at the surface and cure the film to lock them into place. The coating solution can be used to achieve a textured coated result useable in direct (and indirect) food contact.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a heat-sealable adhesive label with a built-in spacer and methods of its manufacture. The adhesive label of the present invention includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, and an adhesive coating disposed on the first surface of the substrate. The adhesive coating includes an adhesive and a plurality of spacer particles that impart roughness to the adhesive coating. Methods of making and using a heat-sealable adhesive label also are disclosed.
Abstract:
An article having a liquid-impregnated surface. The surface includes a matrix of solid features (124) (e.g., non-toxic and/or edible features) spaced sufficiently close to stably contain a liquid (126) therebetween or therewithin, wherein the liquid is non-toxic and/or edible. The article may contain, for example, a food or other consumer product, such as ketchup, mustard, or mayonnaise.
Abstract:
A method for forming a wood composite product (P) by extrusion with a manufacturing apparatus. The temperature profile prevailing in the manufacturing apparatus is adjusted in such a way that the surface of the wood composite product to be formed becomes rough. Furthermore, the invention relates to a wood composite product and an apparatus for manufacturing a wood composite product.

Abstract:
A molded coarse particle product adapted for use as housewares, furniture, insulation or architectural components or the like preferentially made from coarse wood particles, flakes or chips, or any other suitable castable particulate materials such as glass, dried grass, plastic, shell particles, organic leftover or waste materials, e.g. leaves, twigs or bark, or a combination thereof admixed and bonded together with an adhesive binder and lightly pressed into a mold preferably manually or automatically, together with a reinforcing means. The resulting surface texture of the cast product has the natural or original characteristics of the preferred particles comprising thereof such that it looks as natural as the said particles when viewed collectively together in plurality, and the quality and degree of roughness being defined by th e natural features of said particles.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a contoured, consolidated cellulosic article, with variable basis weight, is disclosed. The method employs a former to create a mat having a substantially uniform thickness which is pre-pressed to retain its shape. The pre-pressed mat is then machined along at least one surface to result in a desirable contour. The contoured mat is then consolidated within a secondary press. The secondary press preferably includes platens shaped complementarily to the surfaces of the mat.
Abstract:
A composition useful, for example, as a coating on the backside of coated abrasive articles comprising binder precursor selected from the group consisting of acrylic, acrylate, phenolic, epoxy, melamine-formaldehyde and combinations thereof; and at least 37% by weight graphite particles, based on the total solids content of the composition. The composition can also comprise binder; at least about 25% by weight graphite particles, based on the total solids content of the composition; and second particles having median diameter no greater than about 200 micrometers, wherein said second particles are selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, carbon black and mixtures thereof.
