Abstract: Disclosed is both a method and composition for making a low formaldehyde emission panel. The panel includes a scrim that is typically formed from fiberglass bound together in a mat by a substantially formaldehyde free resin. The scrim is applied to the facing side of the panel by an adhesive that is also substantially formaldehyde free. The adhesive may also contain a formaldehyde scavenger. The formed panel has a low rate of formaldehyde emittance and can used as an acoustical ceiling panel.

Abstract: Implosion-proof mesh tape is constructed by covering the surface of a mesh-like fabric matrix with a hot-melt adhesive and then coating it with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. It is thereby possible to obtain a cathode-ray tube with an implosion-proof structure wherein the surfaces of the fiber matrix directly contact with both a metal clamping band and the glass panel.

Abstract: A laminate composite material comprises a layer of an open weave supporting fabric having a layer of breathable resin adhered thereto by an extruded layer of a thermoplastic resin blended with a high temperature volatile particulate. The resultant composite material is substantially impervious to air and water and permeable to water vapor and having a water vapor transmission rate exceeding one (1) perm of water vapor.
Abstract: The present invention provides a reinforced tape including a visually transparent backing layer, a reinforcing scrim preferably of fibers made of visually transparent material along one surface of the backing, and a layer of transparent adhesive covering but not totally wetting the reinforcing scrim so that the scrim is visible along the backing layer before the tape is applied to give a user a visual indication of the strength of the tape. The indexes of refraction of the material of the fibers in the scrim and of the adhesive are similar so that when the layer of adhesive is pressed against a substrate through the backing layer, the adhesive will more totally wet the fibers of the reinforcing scrim, causing them to become significantly less visible in the reinforced tape adhered to the substrate.

Abstract: A composite fabric for use in reinforcement of cementitious boards and similar prefabricated building wall panels. The fabric includes an open mesh first component of continuously coated, high modulus of elasticity strands and a nonwoven second component fabricated from alkali resistant thermoplastic material. The high modulus strands of the first component are preferably bundled glass fibers encapsulated by alkali and water resistant thermoplastic material. The composite fabric also has suitable physical characteristics for embedment within the cement matrix of the panels or boards closely adjacent the opposed faces thereof. The reinforcement provides long-lasting, high strength tensile reinforcement and impact resistance for the panels or boards. The reinforcement also enables the boards to have smooth outer faces suitable for painting, papering, tiling or other finishing treatment.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an electroconductive adhesive tape used for electrical and electronic products to bond or fix an element to a support while maintaining an electrical conductivity between the element and support. The electroconductive adhesive tape comprises a perforated synthetic film, two metal plating layers respectively formed on both surfaces of the synthetic resin film, and a conductive adhesive layer formed on one of the metal plating layers. Made to be very thin, the film has the advantage of being flexible and high in tensile strength in addition to showing excellent electrical conductivity. The metal plating layers are integratedly formed through the perforations of the synthetic resin film, maintaining excellent electrical conductivity. Thus, the electroconductive adhesive tape maintains a desired strength while exhibiting a high flexibility and a high bondability.
Abstract: A Wind and Sun Tolerant Mesh is disclosed which is composed of either natural or synthetic material, the generally vertical directional strands crossed by horizontal strands, some or all of which individual horizontal strands of which broaden out on one side forming as sill which projects outward at an angle away from the plane surface of the mesh in a venetian blind profile, and wind baffling effect, while simultaneously allowing release of any excess pressure from wind gusting into the opposite side due to the semi permeable nature of the mesh and as there is no restricting sill on the inside surface, thus giving better control and protection to either articles or utilities made from, and/or persons or property protected by, commodities of any various sort constructed wholly or partly from the mesh.
Abstract: A resin injection molded article comprising at least a two-dimensional reinforcing core material formed into a non-planar shape, a resin surface layer covering the surface of the core material, and a resin-made structural member formed integrally with the resin surface layer and protruding from the resin surface layer, wherein the resin surface layer and the structural member are integrally molded by injection molding. The two-dimensional core material may be used as a design.
Abstract: A uniformly applied monolithic roofing surface membrane at appropriate thickness and pitch is field applied upon a surface. The surface membrane may be field applied from a spray applicator foam dispenser moving between two parallel tracks. The uniform application of foam at each pass is assured, by accelerating the speed of the foam dispenser at the end of each pass, by providing continuous movement of the spray applicator upon the tracks. The monolithic roofing surface monolithic thus formed includes a spontaneously curable polymer, such as low rise polyurethane adhesive or polyurethane foam, having a mesh such as of fabric or fiberglass therein, with a silicone coating thereon.
Abstract: A sheet material is useful as a waterproof underlayment for a roof of a structure.

Abstract: Thermally conductive composite sheets which comprise a silicone rubber layer which contains thermally conductive fillers and has an Asker C hardness from 5 to 50, and a porous reinforcing material layer which has pores of at least 0.3 mm in diameter and is incorporated within the silicone rubber layer. The thermally conductive composite sheets of the present invention are superior in thermal conductivity and flexibility (for contact towards the electronic parts and so on) and are suitable for mass production and for the assembly process of electronic instruments. Therefore, utilization of the thermally conductive composite sheets enables the effective production of electronic instruments wherein performance degradation caused by heat hardly occurs.

Abstract: An improved shrinkable covering made of a shrinkable plastic compound having an inlay of non-recoverable threads and recoverable threads has the recoverable threads arranged with excess length, preferably in helical form, and extending in the stretching and shrinking direction of the covering. As a consequence of this excess length, the recoverable threads are not subjected to any additional stretching during the stretching process of the covering. The recoverable threads act as "swelling agents" in the shrinking process and seal off any longitudinal capillary cavities which may be produced during the production process of the shrinkable covering.
Abstract: A pressure-sensitive covering having improved fire resistance. The covering, at a minimum, includes a cured layer of an intumescence material having on an inner face a layer of pressure-sensitive adhesive, with the pressure-sensitive adhesive initially being covered by a standard release sheet. To improve the structural integrity of the cured layer before and after intumescence, there may be provided a scrim in the form of an open mesh within the cured layer. To further improve the structural integrity, a base member may be applied between the cured layer and pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The cured layer may extend peripherally beyond the base member to improve fire resistance. To improve the durability of the covering or patch, there may be provided an overlay in the form of a plastic or foil laminate which extends over the cured resin layer and peripherally beyond the resin layer.
