Abstract: A rubberized walk surface formulation applyable by manual or machine troweling atop old or cracked concrete as well as wood, metal and/or fiberglass surfaces, including a formulation of thermoplastic pebbles in a 100% solid moisture-cured aliphatic urethane binder.

Abstract: There is provided a composition comprising a unique polymeric compound that provides a soft, flexible product. There is also provided a unique polymeric tampon applicator that is soft and flexible. When used as a tampon applicator barrel, the barrel is more comfortable and has improved ease of insertion. The polymeric compound primarily comprises a thermoplastic resin and a block copolymer that exhibit unique load, energy and modulus of elasticity properties. The polymeric compound should also include a plasticizer and a compatibilizer/flow modifier, and may include a slip/mold release agent, an antioxidant, and even a pigment. There is also provided a method for making the polymeric compound that will be formed into a product, such as an applicator or applicator barrel in which all of the above ingredients, except for the thermoplastic resin, are combined and formed into soft pellets. The soft resin pellets are then dry blended with pellets of the thermoplastic resin.

Abstract: Monofilament gel dental flosses and methods for their fabrication are provided. The gel flosses comprise a core material in combination with a gel material, where both the core and gel materials comprise thermoplastic elastomeric polymers and are sufficiently adherent to one another so as not to separate under conditions of hygienic use.
