International Classification:

F16B 1900
F16B 3300
F16B 3714

US Classification:

411377

Abstract:

A protective cap for fastener heads includes a preformed member formed of a naturally tacky compound of unvulcanized butyl rubber, a reinforcing layer of a non-woven polyester fabric, and a silicone-coated polyethylene release liner. The preformed member has a dome-shaped central portion and a surrounding generally flat annular flange. The reinforcing layer of the polyester fabric is disposed over a top surface of the preformed member to form a homogeneous cap construction, and the release liner covers the tacky bottom surface of the preformed member to prevent the cap from adhering to surfaces until ready for use. A plurality of the protective caps are formed in a manipulatable sheet unit and are maintained thereon by the natural tackiness of the unvulcanized butyl rubber compound. The caps are removed individually from the sheet unit, the liner is removed, and the cap is placed over an exposed fastener head so that the tacky bottom surface of the flange surrounding the fastener head adheres the cap to a surrounding surface and the tacky interior surface of the dome-shaped central portion adheres to the bolt head with the central portion being moldable about and encasing the fastener head.

International Classification:

C08G 1810

US Classification:

528 59

Abstract:

A one-part, low viscosity, moisture curable composition which exhibits excellent shelf stability in the absence of water, but which quickly cures at ambient conditions upon exposure to moisture in the air is a substantially anhydrous mixture containing an acetoacetate functional compound and a polyisocyanate functional compound. The composition can be suitably formulated for use as an ambient temperature, moisture curable adhesive, sealant or coating composition. The acetoacetate functional compounds have a relatively low viscosity as compared with conventional isocyanate functional compounds and thereby reduce or eliminate the need for plasticizers, organic solvents, or both. The cure chemistry of the composition simultaneously consumes and generates moisture at approximately the same rate thereby facilitating rapid cure under even low humidity conditions, and allows for efficient and facile curing of even thick layers of the composition.

Inventors:

Ronald J. Janoski - Chagrin Falls OH

Assignee:

Tremco, Inc. - Beachwood OH

International Classification:

C08L 9500

US Classification:

524 59

Abstract:

A moisture-curable, substantially solvent-free and anhydrous blend of a bituminous material such as asphalt and a liquid prepolymer is disclosed, which blend when cured, results in an elastomer having excellent adhesion to surfaces exposed outdoors. The stability of the blend derives from asphalt being microdispersed in a dispersed phase within a continuous phase of the liquid prepolymer so that particles of asphalt are in the size range from 0. 5. mu. m to 100. mu. m. The asphalt is treated to react all functional groups it may have because they may react with a functional group of the liquid prepolymer. The prepolymer is a polyurethane, a terpolymer of ethylene-propylene-diene, or a silicone. The microdispersion is stably maintained by a compatibilizer having opposed substantially polar and non-polar terminal portions, present in an amount in the range from 0. 01 to 5 parts per 100 parts of the blend.

International Classification:

C09D19500

US Classification:

106278

Abstract:

An organoclay in which a quaternary long chain fatty amine is ionically bonded to clay platelets is found to function both as a filler or thickener as well as a compatibilizer in an asphaltic polyurethane (PUR) dispersion. When a PUR prepolymer is mixed into a homogenized blend of asphalt and organoclay under high shear, a phase inversion occurs the result of which is that a microdispersion of asphalt particles (preferably 1. mu. m-44. mu. m) becomes the dispersed phase which is uniformly scattered throughout the PUR prepolymer (the continuous phase). This dispersion is found to be an excellent adhesive, particularly for roofing components which can be secured without using conventional fasteners, and it is stable and moisture-curable to afford, when cured, an elastomer having excellent adhesion to surfaces exposed outdoors. It is also user-friendly because it is solvent-free. The asphalt is treated to react all functional groups it may have because they may react with a functional group of the PUR prepolymer.

US Classification:

52408

Abstract:

The present invention relates to low slope roofing systems, particularly in commercial (as opposed to residential) roofing applications. More specifically, the fastener-free roofing system of the present invention is directed to the use of a curing adhesive composition which will simply and safely secure roofing insulation to a roofing deck without the need for mechanical fasteners.

US Classification:

118108

Abstract:

An apparatus (10) for applying fluid roof panel adhesive to a substrate includes a holding tank (12) for holding a supply of adhesive vertically above the substrate. The tank is supported by a pair of spaced wheels (14) and has a handle (16) to enable moving the device over the substrate. Openings (32) in a lower wall (30) of the tank enable adhesive to flow onto the substrate. Blocking members (36) associated with each opening are movable in response to the position of a lever (20) to enable or prevent flow of adhesive through the openings. Movement of the apparatus over the substrate provides for controlled deposition of uniformly spaced beads of adhesive suitable for holding roof panels to the substrate.
