The method includes the steps of combining the plastomer with the asphalt binder maintained at a plastomer mixing temperature such that an intermediate asphalt binder mixture forms, and combining elemental sulfur with the intermediate asphalt binder maintained at a sulfur mixing temperature such that the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition forms. The method also includes the step of applying the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition to the surface of the protected member such that the sulfur-extended plastomer asphalt binder composition contacts, adheres to and forms a layer upon the surface of the protected member. The asphalt binder composition is applied at a temperature no greater than 150° C. | 05-07-2015 |

The patterns and designs may be either two- or three-dimensional, and can include iridescent and/or reflective inks, reflective beads and/or pebbles and so on, and be arranged in either predetermined or randomized arrays. A customized pool skimmer face plate system is also disclosed, including at least a skimmer face plate cover; a template having a size and shape proportional to the size and shape of the face plate cover; a water-resistant material bearing a color, pattern, or design; and a wrapper created from the water-resistant material using the template that complements neighboring colors, patterns and designs surrounding the skimmer face plate installation location. | 05-14-2015 |
20150144249 | WEATHER-RESISTIVE BARRIERS FROM SELF COLLAPSING POLYURETHANE FOAMS - The present invention provides a self-collapsing, moisture curable one component polyurethane foam (1K PU) composition from moisture curable polyurethane prepolymers and to methods of making weather resistant barriers and formed in place gaskets therefrom. The foam compositions are packed under pressure with a blowing agent. In the methods, the foams are applied to gaps in the exterior (sheathing) of a building under construction and collapse on cure to enable application an aqueous weather barrier coating thereover within an hour. The foams also cure when applied on or adjacent a structure to form a foam gasket that enables installation of additional structural elements over or adjacent the foam gasket without bowing or damage to the structure treated. | 05-28-2015 |
20150144250 | MODIFIED COLD APPLIED ASPHALT EMULSION - Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an adhesive asphalt emulsion. The adhesive asphalt emulsion can be prepared in liquid form and applied to a material, such as a film or fabric, to create a self-adhering membrane. In some embodiments, the adhesive can be water vapor permeable, and can be applied in a continuous layer to a membrane. The adhesive asphalt emulsion can be prepared, applied, and in service at low temperatures. | 05-28-2015 |
20150306904 | WALL APPLIQUE - Implementations of a wall appliqué are provided. In some implementations, a wall appliqué may be used to decorate and/or accent a wall or other suitable surface of a building. In some implementations, a wall appliqué may be used in lieu of traditional shoe moulding, panel moulding, ceiling moulding, door moulding, stair brackets, chair rails, and/or window moulding. In some implementations, the wall appliqué may be applied to a wall or other suitable surface with an adhesive. In some implementations, the wall appliqué comprises a body portion having a front side and a back side. In some implementations, the body portion may have a decorative shape. In some implementations, the front side may have a three-dimensional relief thereon. In some implementations, the wall appliqué may be manufactured from a flexible, polyurethane material. In this way, the wall appliqué may be applied to both flat and irregular surfaces. | 10-29-2015 |
20150345153 | PANEL FORMING - Building panels, especially laminated floor panels are shown, which are provided with a locking system and several core grooves at the rear side in order to save material and decrease weight. Building panels, each having a surface layer on a front side, a backing layer on a rear side and an intermediate core, wherein the intermediate core and the surface and the backing layer all comprise wood fibres and thermosetting resins, said building panels are provided with a locking system for vertical and horizontal locking of a first edge of a first building panel to an adjacent second edge of a second building panel. | 12-03-2015 |
20150360456 | MACHINE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR BUILDING BOARD - A building board is finished in a first processing station via laterally operating processing means, where-in a first edge strip is glued along a first edge side of body element of the building board. In a second processing station a primary surface layer is glued, by vertically operating processing means, to cover the entire primary main side and the primary side of the first edge stripe. Thereafter, a vertical pressure is applied over the body element and the first edge stripe across a working direction while the body element and the first edge stripe pass the second processing station in such a manner that a primary side of the first edge stripe is brought in level with a primary main side of the body element when passing the second processing station. | 12-17-2015 |
20150376896 | EXTERIOR INSULATION MORTAR FOR COLD WEATHER AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTING EXTERIOR INSULATION SYSTEM USING SAME - Disclosed are an exterior insulation mortar for cold weather which may prevent freezing and improve strength at temperatures below 0° C., and an exterior insulation system using the same. | 12-31-2015 |

20160159690 | Use of an Epoxide-Amine-Based Multicomponent Mortar Composition - Described is the use of a hardening composition for epoxide-amine-based, multicomponent mortar compositions, particularly the use of one of these epoxide-amine-based, multicomponent mortar compositions for chemical fastening purposes. The multicomponent mortar composition contains (A) a resin component, which comprises as a curable compound at least an epoxide resin and optionally at least one reactive diluent, and (B) a hardener component, which comprises a hybrid hardener, wherein the resin component (A) and/or the hardener component (B) optionally comprises other ingredients selected from among inorganic and/or organic compounds. The hybrid hardener is a mixture of (a) at least one amine, selected from among aliphatic, alicyclic, or aromatic amines, as a hardener, and (b) a novolac resin as catalyst, wherein the novolac resin is contained in a quantity of 30 to 45 percent by weight, relative to the total weight of the hybrid hardener. The use of the hybrid hardener results in a rapid curding of the multicomponent mortar composition, even at low temperatures, with a complete through-curing of the mortar composition. High load values of the cured mortar composition both at low temperatures (+5° C.) and at high temperatures (+50° C.) and improved creep resistance at high temperatures (+50° C.) are hereby achieved. In addition, one can entirely omit the use of free phenols. | 06-09-2016 |
