The plurality of embossed regions is arranged so that a straight line cannot traverse the thermoplastic film without intersecting at least one of the plurality of embossed regions. | 04-30-2015 |
20150125639 | BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS, METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF AND USE THEREOF - The present invention concerns a plastic composition which is biodegradable, and which does not discharge contaminants during incineration or leave plastic fragments after decomposition. According to the invention the composition comprises: (i) 30-50% by weight of a polyester which is biodegradable and/or decayable; (ii) 20-40% by weight of starch from vegetable oil origin from corn, potatoes, and/or sunflower; (iii) 20-40% by weight of a filler composition comprising dolomite and/or calcium carbonate, wherein the filler composition particles have a polished surface; and (iv) 1-5% by weight of a binding agent comprising a resin ester of vegetable origin; wherein said polyester and said starch together form a bioplastic base composition and together comprise 55-79% by weight of the total weight of said plastic composition. The present invention further concerns a method for preparing said plastic composition; a plastic film prepared of said plastic composition; and a waste bag prepared of said plastic film. | 05-07-2015 |
20150132513 | Indoline-Nitroxide Radical as Stabiliser and Inhibitor for Reaction Resins, Reaction Resins Containing Same and Use Thereof - Use of a stable indole-nitroxide radical as a stabilizer and/or inhibitor for resin mixtures and reactive resin mortars is described on the basis of radically curable compounds. Resin mixtures and reactive resin mortars may be made stable in storage very effectively using the indole nitroxide radical and the pot life of mortar compositions can be adjusted in a targeted manner. | 05-14-2015 |
20150308142 | Wind Resistance - An enhanced fabric panel has a fabric surface with at least one straight edge, and a row of pockets implemented on the fabric along the one straight edge, the pockets each having an opening facing upward, such that with the one straight edge lying along a ground line with the pockets filled with a weighty material such as sand, pebbles, water or another material having weight, and other edges supported on parts of a rigid structure provides resistance to deformation or movement by impinging wind. | 10-29-2015 |

20160059471 | INCREMENTALLY STRETCHED FILMS WITH ENCHANCED PROPERTIES AND METHODS FOR MAKING THE SAME - Methods of enhancing one or more physical properties of a thermoplastic film include incrementally stretching thermoplastic films in the machine direction and/or transverse direction. In one or more implementations, methods of incrementally stretching thermoplastic films include reducing the gauge of the films without reducing the films' machine-direction tear resistance. The methods can involve cold stretching the films and imparting rib patterns into the film. The linear ribs can have alternating thick and thin gauges. Incrementally stretched thermoplastic films can have a machine-direction tear resistance that is approximately equal to or greater than the machine-direction tear resistance of the film prior to stretching. | 03-03-2016 |
20160129300 | COVER OR TOWEL TO COVER EXERCISE MAT - A cover, such as a towel, for covering an article, such as a mat, is described. The cover may comprise a first surface, a second surface disposed opposite of the first surface, and an article attachment means. When the cover may be in use with the article, the first surface may be in removable physical contact with a user and the second surface may be substantially physically contacting the article. The article attachment means may comprise at least one segment of material that may be removably attached over a portion of the second surface to at least one edge of the cover forming a hollow tube or a cavity, wherein either an article terminal end or at least one article corner may removably pass through the hollow tube or be removably held within the cavity such that slippage between the cover and the article are minimized. | 05-12-2016 |
20160159947 | STERILISABLE ARTICLE MADE OF PROPYLENE COPOLYMER - The present technology relates to articles for use in healthcare or medical applications, such as blow-fill-seal applications, made of a propylene-ethylene random copolymer that demonstrate good optical properties after heat sterilization. | 06-09-2016 |
20160185979 | CONTROLLED RELEASE, WOOD PRESERVING COMPOSITION WITH LOW-VOLATILE ORGANIC CONTENT FOR TREATING IN-SERVICE UTILITY POLES, POSTS, PILINGS, CROSS-TIES AND OTHER WOODEN STRUCTURES - Disclosed herein are compositions comprising a dispersion of solid particles of a substantially insoluble copper compound in an amount from 0.001% to 10% by weight of the composition; a boron-containing compound, a fluoride-containing compound, or a combination thereof; and an aqueous carrier; wherein the composition has a viscosity of 125 to 425 tenths of a millimeter (tmm) as measured using a penetrometer, wherein at least 20% of the particles of the composition comprise particles having particle size greater than 25 microns, and wherein the composition contains no more than 36 grams volatile organic compounds (VOCs) per liter of wood preservative coating. Also disclosed herein are methods of making and using the same. | 06-30-2016 |
