A method of manufacturing a plurality of secondary containment panels and assembling and installing the panels in a secondary containment system of an above-ground liquid storage tank or other retention facility includes forming a plurality of flexible substrate pieces. A liquid impermeable coating is applied to the upper surface of each piece such that an edge segment of the piece remains uncoated. The coating is applied to the substrate piece in an indoor enclosure using a computer controlled robotic sprayer that applies a uniform coating. A system for coating secondary containment panels. An apparatus for spraying a coating on a secondary containment panels. The apparatus may be computer controlled and operate automatically to coat the surface of the panel.

Process for the simple and practical application of a relatively thick heat-insulating layer to a surface to be insulated by: (a) applying a porous substrate consisting of a spacer fabric to the surface of an article, which surface is to be insulated; (b) filling the porous substrate with a heat-insulating formulation; (c) curing the formulation filled into the porous substrate.

A textile fabric with a woven support layer including at least polyethylene and/or polyester fibres. A surface coating is applied onto at least one surface of the support layer, and the surface coating includes at least one polymer blend. The polymer blend has at least one mixture of polyethylene and polyethylene-vinyl acetate, and the polymer blend has more than 40 wt. % of polyethylene-vinyl acetate, based on the total weight of the polymer blend.

Waste such as sawdust, waste paper, a shell of an oyster or the like, fallen leaves, old clothing fabric, and waste fishing nets as well as a wood construction waste material or a material from logging are effectively used, and burdens on the natural environment, which have been caused by the disposal of waste by incineration and the disposal by landfill, is reduced. A heat insulating material includes: a paint that contains, as components, a resin and powdered calcium composed of a fired ground product of scallop shells; and a core to be mixed with the paint.

This invention, in embodiments, relates to a roofing material comprising (a) a coated or covered substrate and (b) a single sealant applied to a surface of the coated or covered substrate, with the single sealant being free of asphalt. The single sealant exhibits a minimum activation temperature (? C.) (tan ?>1) from ?10? C. to 0? C. The single sealant is configured to adhere the roofing material to at least one of (i) an underlying roofing material, (ii) an overlying roofing material, and (iii) a roofing deck substrate.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an roofing shingle comprising a low penetration point asphalt reinforced glass mat. In some embodiments, the reinforced glass mat comprises a glass mat and a reinforcement material. In some embodiments, the glass mat comprises a web of glass fibers. In some embodiments, the reinforcement material is embedded into the web of glass fibers of the glass mat. In some embodiments, the reinforced glass mat comprises a sufficient amount of the reinforcement material, so as to result in a nail shank shear resistance of 13 lbs to 17 lbs, according to ASTM 1761 at 140? F. Methods of making the roofing shingle and methods of forming a roofing shingle from the roofing shingle are also disclosed herein.

The invention relates to a waterproof membrane for building applications comprising at least one support carrier and at least one layer of a cross-linked coating composition comprising at least one polyurethane. The invention also relates to a waterproof membrane comprising at least one support carrier and at least one layer of a cross-linked coating composition comprising at least one polyurethane, an optional pre-coating layer to facilitate the manufacturing process, and to join the support carrier with the cross-linked coating composition in the most optimal and durable manner to achieve good surface appearance and chemical bonding between reinforcing carrier and crosslinked polyurethane coating. The waterproof membrane can be prepared and installed with lower cost in comparison to current flat roof waterproofing systems based on liquid two-component polyurethane systems.
