A sealant material composition for sealing asphalt includes a non-fiber asphalt emulsion between about 20.0 wt. % and about 60.0 wt. %, carbon black between about 0.5 wt. % and about 5.0 wt. %, an aggregate between about 1.0 wt. % and about 10.0 wt. %, wherein the aggregate is amorphous aluminum silicate, and a hydrophobic additive between about 0.1 wt. % and about 1.0 wt. %.

The present disclosure provides a polymeric surface repairer and protectant composition for restoring faded and worn polymeric surfaces. In one example, the polymeric surface is a polymeric surface used in an automotive application. The polymeric surface repairer and protectant composition may clean the polymeric surface, etch the top layer of the polymeric surface, adhere to the etched polymeric surface, and become embedded in the polymeric surface once the polymeric surface hardens to produce a restored polymeric surface. The polymeric surface repairer and protectant composition may include a thinner component and a protective component. The polymeric surface repairer and protectant composition may further include an oil component. As an alternative to or in addition to the oil component, the polymeric surface repairer and protectant composition may include a drying component. In some embodiments, the polymeric surface repairer and protectant composition may further include a coloring component, a paint reducer component, a dispersant component, and/or a surfactant component.

Mineral fiber processing is carried out by applying a dedust composition comprising a non-polar, plant-based, bodied oil having an acid value that is less than or equal to about 5 mg KOH/g, an iodine value of 60 to 120, a tan delta ranging from 0.0002 to 0.01 (at 25 C.), and a viscosity of from about 350 cSt to about 750 cSt at 40 C. to mineral fiber. The non-polar, plant-based, bodied oil provides a dedust fluid that is sourced from renewable resources and is surprisingly effective as a dedusting agent in the challenging environment of preparation of bonded mineral fiber-containing products.

This invention, in embodiments, relates to non-asphaltic coatings for roofing materials, to roofing materials made therefrom and to methods of preparing such coatings and roofing materials. By blending thermoplastic polymers with appropriate fillers and/or recycled materials, a composition is produced that can be pressed into a desired shape, or that can be additionally mixed with oils, resins and/or waxes to provide a liquid that can be poured onto an appropriate substrate.

A method for making a plasticized polymer comprises polymerizing a polymerizable monomer, such as an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, in a plasticizer, such as mineral oil, and in the presence of a catalyst system. The plasticized polymer may be mixed with a tackifying resin in a method for making an adhesive. A composition, which may be useful as an adhesive, comprises a polymer system comprising a first polymer; a plasticized system comprising a first plasticizer that was in the presence of the first polymer during the polymerization step to make the first polymer; and a tackifier. The method can be used to make compositions having polymers with a low density or a low molecular weight or both. The final compositions made by methods of the invention include adhesives, sealants, coating, or lubricants.
