  • Patent number: 8003554
    Abstract: In a clothing support for a card flat covering, the belt-shaped support is made of plastics material, and there is embedded in a base body at least one reinforcing insert which is also belt-shaped and which is arranged in the vicinity of the back of the support. In order to make possible stronger anchoring by simple means and to allow undisrupted oscillation of clothing wires, the base body has at least two layers (bottom layer and top layer) of different plastics materials connected to one another, and the bottom layer incorporates a fabric.

  • Publication number: 20110111661
    Abstract: A surface cover having a polarized adhesive material bonded or operably connected to at least a portion of a substrate. The polarized adhesive material may be a hot melt adhesive material. The substrate may have little or no electret capabilities. The electrostatic charge of the polarized adhesive material may allow the surface cover to be removed from a mounting surface for positional adjustment during the application of the surface cover to the mounting surface. Once at its desired location, and/or aligned with the patterns, characters, or images on an adjacent surface cover, the polarized adhesive material may be activated. The adhesive force provided by the activated polarized adhesive material may provide a sufficient force for adhering surface cover along the mounting surface, thereby making the dissipation or loss of electrostatic charge inconsequential to the ability of the surface cover to remain at its desired position along the mounting surface.

One improvement results from inclusion in the adhesive mixture of a titanium and/or zirconium containing coupling agent, either separately or as part of the VCI particles. Another improvement results from blending the adhesive mixture in a continuous process using for example a twin screw extruder. As a result, the adhesive mixture has better uniformity and superior viscosity properties during use.

  • Patent number: 7803727
    Abstract: A vinyl floor covering is provided with reinforcement of segmented woven or non-woven glass fiber mat located on the underside of the vinyl floor covering or at or near the neutral axis of the vinyl floor covering. This segmented mat reinforcement increases the stiffness and mechanical properties of the vinyl floor covering. A polymeric binder separates the segments of the glass fiber mat from each other. Expansion or contraction of the installed vinyl floor covering is restricted to this polymeric binder region. The segments may be aligned with the vinyl floor covering's show surface patterns, thereby preserving pattern integrity. The segmented mat is manufactured by applying and curing a polymeric binder to a woven or non-woven glass fiber mat, and creating segments by the passing the woven or non-woven glass fiber mat with polymeric binder through a set of embossing rollers. The segmented woven or non-woven glass fiber mat with polymeric binder is easily handled by vinyl floor covering machinery.

    Abstract: The invention concerns a process for making a scrim-reinforced prepreg for use in building low-porosity lay-ups, characterized in that a conventional prepreg is formed of a fibrous reinforcement and a heat-curable resin, the prepreg having suitable viscosity and sufficient tackiness to hold a scrim which is adhered to the prepreg by applying light pressure, so that the scrim is impressed onto the prepreg to such a degree, that less than half of the circumference of the scrim strands becomes coated by the prepreg-resin.

  • Publication number: 20100099317
    Abstract: The present invention provides a water-dispersed acrylic PSA composition suitable for forming a PSA sheet. The PSA composition contains 0.5 to 15 parts by weight of an acrylic copolymer (polymer H) with a Tg of 30° C. to 120° C. in relation to 100 parts by weight of an acrylic copolymer (polymer L) with a Tg of ?70° C. to ?50° C. The polymer L is obtained by polymerization of a monomer starting material comprising 60 wt % or more of an alkyl (meth)acrylate with a C8-C12 alkyl group; and 0.5 to 10 wt % of a radical polymerizable monomer with a carboxyl group.

  • Patent number: 7632764
    Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to adhesive compositions comprising selected ratios of crystalline and amorphous polymers. In some versions of the invention, polymers capable of existing in different configurations (e.g., a polymer such as polypropylene which can exist in an atactic, syndiotactic. or isotactic configuration) is used to prepare adhesives of the present invention. As an example, a selected amount of isotactic polypropylene is blended with a selected amount of atactic polypropylene to prepare an adhesive composition having one or more performance properties (e.g., bond strength) that are superior to the performance properties of a conventional hot-melt adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20090275252
    Abstract: A cleaning medium that includes polyisobutylene (also sometimes referred to as polybutylene or as polybutene). Cleaning media include cleaning implements, polishers, and filters. Typically a substantial portion of the polyisobutylene has a molecular weight (MW) greater than 30,000 and in some particular applications the molecular weight is around 85,000. The polyisobutylene is generally adjacent to the surface of a substrate, such as a non-woven or woven fabric. A method of making a cleaning medium is provided. The method typically involves dissolving polyisobutylene in a solvent such as hexane to form a tackifier solution, soaking the substrate in the tackifier to produce a preform, and then drying the preform to produce the cleaning medium. The cleaning media are typically used dry, without any liquid cleaning agent.
