Abstract: A loop-forming closure element for hook-and-loop fasteners embodies an embossed nonwoven material having continuous fibers of a spun bonded fabric and carded staple fibers. The continuous fibers and the staple fibers are intertwined and form a common nonwoven material layer as a fiber blend.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer blown film for producing labels, having a layer construction formed by coextrusion. In accordance with the invention, the layer construction comprises two outer layers of polyethylene, a core layer of polyethylene, and, on either side of the core layer, an interlayer of polypropylene with a melt flow index of more than 4.0 g/10 min as measured to ISO 1133 at 230° C. with 2.16 kg.

Abstract: The invention relates to an elastic monofilm having a film thickness between 20 ?m and 100 ?m, comprising an asymmetric styrene-diene triblock copolymer at a content between 35 wt % and 90 wt % as a first polymer substance A and comprising a second polymer substance B. According to the invention, polystyrene is provided at a content between 8 wt % and 40 wt % as the second polymer substance B.

Abstract: A label film is formed by means of extrusion and has a layer that forms the surface, on a first side, composed of polyethylene with a proportion of at least 70 wt.-%, preferably at least 85 wt.-% high-density polyethylene, wherein the film thickness amounts to less than 75 ?m. According to the invention, the 60° reflectometer value on at least the first side of the label film, determined according to DIN 67 530, is greater than 80, preferably greater than 90.

Abstract: A nozzle for applying a liquid adhesive to a web moving continuously in a travel direction has a body having a passage forming an outlet opening generally transversely to the direction immediately adjacent the moving web at a face of the body so that the liquid adhesive flows through the passage and out the outlet end onto the moving web. Structure on the face of the body forms immediately upstream of the outlet a porous region. Air is fed through the structure and out of the face to form between the region and the web an air cushion.

Abstract: An incontinence brief for an adult wearer has an absorbent body having a fluid-permeable inner side, a fluid-tight outer side, and an absorbent liner therebetween. The body is subdivided into a central part adapted to fit in a crotch region of the wearer, a rear part connected to the central part and adapted to fit against a rear waist region of the wearer, and a front part adapted to fit against a front waist region of the wearer. Two fastening straps adapted to fit around respective sides of a waist of the wearer each have a rear end secured to the rear part and a front part. At least one of the fasteners is provided between its respective front and rear ends with an elastic layer forming an elastically stretchable region, and each of the fasteners has an outer layer formed by a water-jet consolidated fleece.

Abstract: A coextrusion film according to a first embodiment of the invention has a monolithic elastic layer of a thermoplastic elastomer having an exposed outer face and an inner face and a support layer lying on, releasably joined to, and separable from the inner face at an interface.

Abstract: A cover layer (1) for a panel (3) which has a panel base body (2), such as a floor covering panel, wall panel or ceiling sheathing panel and/or furniture component panel, building panel, covering panel or dry finish panel and/or as a facade element, panel element or board element, trimming plate or the like, the cover layer (1) having a paper layer (4) and a film layer (6) of elastic plastic which forms the outside (5) of the cover layer (1). The paper layer (4) is made as a preimpregnate which has already been partially impregnated during paper manufacture or as paper, especially decorative paper, which has been partially impregnated after paper manufacture and before joining to the paper layer (4).

Abstract: An elastic film for a hygienic article is made by first premixing polymer components to form a polymer composite that contains styrene block copolymers and then extruding the polymer composite to make at least one layer. During the premixing or the extruding zeolites are added having pores of a size larger than 2.5 Angstrom and smaller than 5.5 Angstrom.

Abstract: A method for the production of an elastic laminate material web comprises laminating a cover material onto a carrier film consisting of a thermoplastic elastomer, using a hot-melt glue. The carrier film is rolled off a film roll and has a polymer powder on at least one side, to prevent interlocking of the layers of the carrier film in the film roll. The melt temperature of the powder is less than or equal to the gluing temperature of the hot-melt glue, so that the powder melts during lamination.

Abstract: A loop element for a hook-and-loop fastener has a substrate layer of a nonwoven having an outer face, a fleece cover layer on the outer face of the substrate layer, and an adhesive layer on the outer face securing the cover layer to the substrate layer. A multiplicity of loops formed of polymer threads are knitted into only the cover layer and project from an outer face thereof.

Abstract: A method for the production of a laminate material for hook and loop closures, particularly for diaper closures, comprises laminating a textile material onto a carrier film having a surface structure that is suitable for forming a connection with the hooks of a hook and loop closure. The textile material is not connected with the carrier film over its entire area, and the textile material forming the cover layer of the laminate material is brushed after lamination.
