摘要:
Lightweight cementitious foams of the invention have excellent dynamic and dimensional stability due to use of foaming system comprising polycarboxylate surfactant foam generating agent, foam stabilizer (e.g., PVOH), and shrinkage reducing admixture to inhibit plastic shrinkage and micro-cracking of cement. The foaming system can be used in conventional cement mortars or concretes as well as with exemplary cementitious slurry systems of the invention, which include an expansive agent, a cross-linking agent for the foam stabilizer. Microfibers can be used in the foam, slurry, or both, to prevent micro-cracking. Cementitious foams can be made without use of autoclave or lightweight aggregates to achieve enhanced compressive strength and thermal insulation properties that compare favorably with conventional foams and insulation materials at comparable densities.

Methods, systems, and devices for installing barriers in openings of gaps in or between structures such as walls, ceilings, and floors are described herein. At least one barrier molding bag is positioned in the hole or gap, and a flowable firestop material that is preferably operative to cure or harden, such as a hydratable cementitious slurry, is introduced into the bag to create a barrier in the hole or gap.

Disclosed is a composition comprising a hydrophobic polymer phase and a water-swollen superabsorbent polymer phase. Also disclosed is a two component system for preparing a composition comprising a hydrophobic polymer phase and a water-swollen superabsorbent polymer phase. The first component is an emulsion of the hydrophobic polymer; the second component comprises the superabsorbent polymer; and the first and second components form the composition when mixed.

An exemplary method for measuring the impact resistance of polymeric film-based laminates involves a falling dart test using laminates that are essentially fully adhered to an inclined mortar block in emulation of stone impacts in backfill situations. Methods for protecting subgrade vertical walls from stone impacts in backfill operations involve the use of a four-layer laminate having an impact energy of at least 50 lb-ft.sup.2 /sec.sup.2 in accordance with a falling dart test using a mortar block inclined at an angle of 60.degree. from vertical. The film-based laminate, comprising a center film having a Young's modulus of at least 200,000 psi (ASTM D 882), is surprisingly discovered to have synergistic properties to provide an average impact energy, as determined in accordance with the 60.degree. impact test, which far exceeds the additive impact energy of the components and which reflects more accurately the performance of the laminate in the actual backfill situation.
摘要:
A waterproofing system including a water-based latex primer composition and a waterproofing adhesive membrane. The primer exhibits excellent adhesion to concrete and an excellent surface for adhesion by the waterproofing membrane. The primer is a latex emulsion including butyl acrylate, styrene and acrylonitrile.

Disclosed is a waterproofing membrane that performs well at both high and low temperatures. The waterproofing membrane comprises a carrier support layer and an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a pressure sensitive bitumen composition comprising bitumen (asphalt), synthetic rubber, high density polyethylene, amorphous polyolefin, ground vulcanized crumb rubber and, optionally, a plasticizer. The waterproofing membrane also may optionally include a removable release sheet on the adhesive layer.

Pedestrian trafficable skid-resistant flexible articles (24) are described. These articles (24) include a flexible substrate (17) having a non-skid coating that may be either a pressure-sensitive adhesive (13) or a highly- filled, textured binder. These articles may be applied to trafficable surfaces such as roof and floors. Articles in the form of roof underlayments having a skid-resistant surface are described in particular.
