Abstract: Disclosed is a magnetic attachment element for use in connection with a pegboard having a plurality of pegboard orifices extending through a pegboard body. The magnetic element includes an attachment element body with at least one magnet in operational communication therewith for generating a magnetic force therefrom. The magnetic attachment element also includes at least one connector portion in operational communication with the attachment element in the element body for attaching the attachment element body to the pegboard by engaging the one or more connector portions to one or more of the pegboard orifices. Methods of manufacturing the magnetic attachment element are also disclosed.

In one embodiment, a cover element, including a rim portion, is positioned adjacent the at least one magnetic element, and the rim portion of the cover element is at least partially embedded within an area of the base substrate In another embodiment, the magnetic element is embedded in the inner base substrate area. Methods of manufacturing a magnetic tool organizing system are also disclosed.

Abstract: A polymeric composition to be used in producing foam in which the polymeric composition comprises high density polyethylene, alkenyl aromatic polymer and a resiliency modifier resin. The high density polyethylene is in an amount of from about 5 to 45 weight percent of the polymeric composition. The high density polyethylene has a z-average molecular weight, Mz, greater than about 1,000,000. The alkenyl aromatic polymer is in the amount of from about 3 to about 45 weight percent of the polymeric composition. The resiliency modifier resin is in the amount of from 10 to about 85 weight percent of the polymeric composition.

Abstract: A polymeric composition for producing foam in which the polymeric composition comprises high density polyethylene, alkenyl aromatic polymer and, optionally, a resiliency modifier resin. The high density polyethylene is in an amount of from about 45 to about 90 weight percent of the polymeric composition. The high density polyethylene has a z-average molecular weight, M.sub.z, greater than about 1,000,000. The alkenyl aromatic polymer is in the amount of from about 3 to about 45 weight percent of the polymeric composition. The resiliency modifier resin is in the amount of from 0 to about 40 weight percent of the polymeric composition. The foam is produced in the absence of a significant amount of a stability control agent.

Abstract: An ultra low density polyolefin foam having a density of about 0.6 to about 1.5 pounds per cubic foot comprising a heat-plastified mixture comprising (1) a non-elastomeric olefin polymer resin selected from the group consisting of ethylene homopolymers, non-elastomeric copolymers of ethylene and a copolymerizable monomer, and propylene homopolymers; (2) an elastomer in an amount of about 3 to about 30 wt. parts per 100 wt. parts of said non-elastomeric olefin polymer resin; (3) polystyrene in an amount of about 1 to about 15 wt. parts per 100 wt. parts of said olefin polymer resin; (4) a stability control agent selected from the group consisting of partial esters of long chain fatty acids with polyols, higher alkyl amines, fatty acid amides, and olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers, and (5) a hydrocarbon blowing agent having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and a boiling point between -175.degree. C. and 50.degree. C.
