Amir Khan - Wayne NJ, US
Edward Nebesnak - Mine Hill NJ, US

Assignee:

Building Materials Investment Corporation - Dallas TX

International Classification:

E04D 13/14

US Classification:

52219, 52 58, 52 60, 525841, 525881, 527414, 249 6, 249 8, 249208, 285 42, 285 43, 285 44, 285 65, 285419, 156 71, 156 91

Abstract:

A target piece for sealing mechanical penetrations in single ply roofing membranes is provided. The target piece comprises a left piece and a right piece, or a single unified piece. The left piece can be applied on one side of the one or more mechanical penetrations, and the right piece can be applied on an opposite side of the one or more mechanical penetrations. Alternatively, the unified piece can be applied on the one or more mechanical penetrations. Left and right curb elements are attached to a top of the left piece and right piece, respectively. Faces of the left and right pieces are sealed to each other and faces of the left and right curb elements are sealed to each other using an adhesive/heat seal, thus forming a pocket around the mechanical penetrations, and then sealant is poured into the pocket to seal the mechanical penetrations. Extensions are provided on ends of either the right or left pieces of the target piece to provide extra insurance against water leakage.

Assignee:

Building Materials Investment Corporation - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

B05D 3/02

US Classification:

427186

Abstract:

A coating composition useful for building materials products, especially roofing surfaces, is provided. The coating composition provides durable exterior protection to surfaces that it applied to, and it has reflective properties. The coating composition includes a mixture of a polymeric binder, a polymeric carrier and a pigment. The pigment is present in the coating composition in amount that is capable of providing a coating that has an initial energy efficiency rating greater than or equal to 0. 65 for a low-sloped roof, or an initial energy efficiency greater than or equal to 0. 25 for a steep-sloped roof.

US Classification:

106437000, 106472000

Abstract:

A coating composition useful for building materials products, especially roofing surfaces, is provided. The coating composition provides durable exterior protection to surfaces that it applied to, and it has intumescent and reflective properties. The coating composition includes a mixture of a polymeric binder, at least one intumescent agent, a polymeric carrier and a pigment. The pigment is present in the coating composition in amount that is capable of providing a coating that has an initial energy efficiency rating greater than or equal to 0.65 for a low-sloped roof, or an initial energy efficiency greater than or equal to 0.25 for a steep-sloped roof. The coating composition has a solids content from about 30-80% of which 0.5-35 wt. % is the intumescent agent.

Abstract:

A top coating composition useful for building materials products, especially roofing surfaces, is provided. The top coating composition provides durable exterior protection to surfaces that it applied to, and it has intumescent and reflective properties. The top coating composition includes a mixture of a polymeric binder, heat expandable graphite particles, a polymeric carrier and a pigment. The pigment is present in the coating composition in amount that is capable of providing a coating that has an initial energy efficiency rating greater than or equal to 0.65 for a low-sloped roof, or an initial energy efficiency greater than or equal to 0.25 for a steep-sloped roof. The coating composition has a solids content from about 50-75% of which 1-10 wt. % is expandable graphite particles.
