Compositions, methods, and products that improve the adhesion of markings, for example, thermoplastic road markings, to substrates are disclosed. In some embodiments, such thermoplastic road markings include, but are not limited to, striping, solid lines, broken lines, and other traffic safety or informative markings placed on a substrate.

Methods, materials systems, and devices for inhibiting the infiltration and penetration of molten salts into solid materials, including porous materials at temperatures above the solidus temperature of the molten salt. The methods, materials systems, and devices utilize a non-wetted solid that is introduced into pores having entrances at an exterior surface of a porous solid material adapted to contact the molten salt.

A roofing granule includes a glass substrate and a plurality of pores in the glass substrate such that the roofing granule has a minimum total solar reflectance of at least 50%.

The method of curing reinforced concrete uses a liquid membrane-forming curing compound for the curing of reinforced concrete, but without fully coating the reinforced concrete with the curing compound, thus allowing for oxygen permeation through the reinforced concrete to effect passive layer formation on steel rebar embedded in the reinforced concrete. Prior to curing, a mask is applied to at least one surface of a slab of reinforced concrete, such that the mask covers about 10% of the surface area of the at least one surface. The at least one surface of the slab of reinforced concrete is then coated with a liquid membrane-forming curing compound. The liquid membrane-forming curing compound is allowed to dry, thus forming a curing compound layer on the at least one surface of the slab of reinforced concrete. The mask is then removed to form at least one uncoated region.

Disclosed are waterproofing compositions and waterproofing articles, such as waterproofing membranes comprising such waterproofing compositions. The waterproofing composition can include a hydrophobic binder and a swellable filler. The hydrophobic binder can include at least one of (i) a polymer modified asphalt comprising an asphalt and a polymer additive; (ii) a hot melt adhesive; and/or (iii) a thermoplastic polymer. The swellable filler can include at least one of (a) at least 15 wt. % and no greater than 85 wt. % of a swellable clay, and/or (b) at least 0.1 wt. % and no greater than 70 wt. % of a super absorbent polymer, wherein the amounts in wt. % are based on a total weight of the waterproofing composition.

A marine ecological engineering construction method, an asphalt cement-based coating, and a preparation method thereof are provided. The asphalt cement-based coating can make discarded concrete have the capacity of inducing the settlement of sessile organisms, achieve the purpose of using discarded concrete to construct ecological engineering, and has the characteristics of discarded object recycling and marine ecological restoration.
