Abstract:
The invention is drawn to a glass fiber mesh fabric coated with an organic polymer coating having a reduced gross heat of combustion (less than 3.0 MJ/kg), said polymer coating comprising (i) from 60 wt % to 99.9 wt % of poly(vinylidene chloride) (PVDC) or a copolymer thereof; and (ii) from 0.1 wt % to 40 wt % of a formaldehyde-based resin selected from melamine-formaldehyde resins, phenol-formaldehyde resins, urea-formaldehyde resins or a combination thereof. The invention also provides a method for producing such a coated glass fiber mesh fabric.
Abstract:
A composite tack film includes a) a first polymer layer including a thermally conductive polymer having a melting temperature of less than about 100° C.; b) a second polymer layer adjacent the first polymer layer, the second polymer layer including a visco-elastic, thermally conductive polymer having a melting temperature of less than about 110° C.; and c) a third polymer layer adjacent the second polymer layer, the third polymer layer including a thermally insulative polymer having a melting temperature of less than about 100° C. Further included is a method of reinforcing pavement with the aforementioned composite tack film.

Abstract:
A reinforcing drywall tape and a method of making the same, the tape having a greige combined with a laid scrim constructed in situ on the greige and bonded to the greige by a resin coating, and a pressure sensitive adhesive fully covering an inward facing surface of the greige wherein the greige is adapted for adherence to drywall sections.
Abstract:
A glass mat includes an assembly of glass fibers, a binder composition and an asphaltic coating. The binder composition includes an organic resin and an adhesion promoter. The glass mat has an at least 2% increase in tear strength as measured using the methods specified in ASTM D3462, compared to an asphaltic coated glass mat having a binder composition without the adhesion promoter. Further provided is an asphalt roofing product including the glass mat and a method of increasing tear strength in an asphalt roofing product.
