Abstract: Described herein are composite planks having a core layer and decorative layer. The composite planks contain layers are adhered to each other in absence of an adhesive material. Also described herein are methods for manufacturing composite planks. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Abstract: An alcohol based hand surgical scrub, which includes cationic anti-microbial agent preservatives, cationic polymer film-forming agents and a skin emollient, and provides a long term residual, anti-microbial “invisible glove” on the skin. The composition provides an immediate reduction in bacterial microbes. The polymer system creates an invisible film on the skin following solvent evaporation. This invisible film provides a lasting anti-microbial barrier on the skin which acts to prevent microbial growth.

Abstract: An antimicrobial composition comprising an alcohol in an amount from about 60 to about 95 weight percent of the total composition, a preservative, a cationic cellulose polymer thickening agent, a moisturizer and/or, a cationic emulsifier, and water in an amount from about 6 to about 30 weight percent. The skin disinfecting formulation will not irritate, dry or crack the skin and will provide antimicrobial effectiveness to the skin.

Abstract: A foam dispensing device is disclosed. The device includes a container for holding a foamable liquid and having at least one planar surface and a foam generating piston pump removably attached to the container to prevent liquid leaking from the container. The device can dispense foam when substantially the entire quantity of the liquid has been dispensed from the container when the container is in positioned in a first, generally horizontal position, or a second, generally vertical position.

Abstract: A foam dispensing apparatus of the present invention includes a reservoir containing a foamable liquid, with a closed headspace above a surface of the liquid. The apparatus also includes a source of a gas disposed to impose a gas pressure higher than ambient atmospheric pressure into the closed headspace. There is a mixing chamber having an inside diameter, an inlet and an outlet open to the ambient atmosphere with a flow restricter having a plurality of openings therein in gaseous communication with the closed headspace. The foam dispensing apparatus also includes a hydrophobic filter.
