Abstract:
Provided are cementitious mixtures and processes for reinforcing a cementitious matrix. In one form of the process for reinforcing a cementitious matrix includes the steps of mixing a mineral cement and one or more populations of synthetic copolymer microfibers including about 1 mol. % to about 25 mol. % and from about 75 mol. % to about 99.5 mol. % of propylene monomeric units.
Abstract:
A method of forming a flexible building material includes adding a silicone rubber base material to a mixer in a quantity of 10 parts by weight and adding a curing agent to the mixer in a quantity of less than two parts by weight. The method further includes selectively adding a granular material to the mixer and mixing the silicone rubber base material, the curing agent, and the granular material to form a flexible building material.
Abstract:
A cement mixture suitable for use with ceramic honeycomb bodies, such as for forming an outer layer on the outer periphery of the honeycomb body, or for forming plugs in the honeycomb body. The cement mixture, when fired, preferably exhibits low coefficient of thermal expansion and high strength. The cement mixture can be applied to a green honeycomb body and simultaneously fired with the green body or can be applied to an already fired ceramic honeycomb body and then fired. Includes cement mixture comprising a plurality of inorganic components comprising talc, kaolin, alumina, silica, and aluminum hydroxide, wherein the mixture contains less than or equal to 18.0% silica and greater than or equal to 17.0% aluminum hydroxide, in percent by weight of the inorganic components.
Abstract:
A moisture resistant concrete coating composition comprising 20% to 30% by weight, based on the weight of the coating composition, of a water dispersible resin having a non-volatile materials content in the range of 40% to about 60%, an average particle size in the range of 80 nm to 400 nm, and a glass transition temperature in the range of −10° C. to 40° C.; 0.1% to 0.50% by weight of an alkoxysilane; 3.0% to 15% by weight of a mineral aggregate; and 25% to 55% by weight of an extender composition.
Abstract:
A substrate, its process of manufacture, and its applications. The substrate includes a fibrous material which is provided, over at least a portion of its surface and/or within its thickness, with a coating with photocatalytic properties including a semi-conducting material with photocatalytic properties of the oxide or sulphide type.
Abstract:
A flexible setting type hydraulic joint compound and a method of forming flexible joints. The flexible joint compound of this invention primarily contains 2 to 20 parts by weight of an emulsion polymer having a Tg that is less than about −40° C., and 22 to 44 parts by weight of total water, based on 100 parts by weight calcium sulfate hemihydrate filler. It can be applied to joints between two adjacent sheets of gypsum board to form a flexible joint that is resistant to cracking.
Abstract:
Natural fiber-containing cement compositions for cementing wellbores in high stress and high temperature environments. The cement compositions may contain natural mineral fiber materials such as wollastonite in an amount of greater than about 10% and in an amount selected to be effective to achieve ratios of flexural strength to compressive strength of cured cement that are greater than about 0.35 at downhole temperatures of greater than about 180° F.
Abstract:
The present invention provides cementing compositions for oil wells or the like comprising an hydraulic binder and reinforcing particles constituted by a flexible material of low compressibility, and with an average grain size of less than 500 &mgr;m. The compositions of the invention are of particular advantage when cementing zones which are subjected to extreme dynamic stresses, such as perforation zones and the junctions of a multi-branch lateral well. They are also highly suitable for producing plugs.
