Structural insulated wall and roof sheathing systems for use in building construction designed to provide a structural building envelope that is moisture permeable but protects from bulk water, excess air, and thermal transfer.

A method for producing a decorative part which comprises a visible side with a decorative layer and a mounting side with a substrate layer, wherein a polysilazane-containing composition is applied to the visible side of the decorative layer to form a cover layer and is subsequently cured. Also, a decorative part producible by the method.

The present disclosure relates to a multi-laminate plastic carrier plate having a plurality N of A-B-A layer sequences, wherein the A layer includes a first thermoplastic resin and the B layer includes a second thermoplastic resin, and wherein the first thermoplastic resin is a virgin plastic and the second plastic is a recycled plastic, and wherein 250≥N≥2, preferably 200≥N≥3, preferably 125≥N≥4, still more preferably 100≥N≥5.

A wooden decorative board includes: an uneven board made of natural wood and including a plurality of uneven portions provided on a surface due to xylem vessels; and a hard coat layer or a protective layer having uneven portions different in size provided on a surface of the uneven board, wherein concave portions and a plurality of concave portions smaller than the concave portions are provided on a surface of the hard coat layer or the protective layer.

Films including a water-soluble layer and a vapor-deposited organic coating are disclosed. The films can optionally further include a vapor-deposited inorganic layer. The films exhibit enhanced barrier properties.

A method of making a concrete panel board is provided. The method includes the steps of: (a) providing a substrate; (b) applying a primer layer to the substrate; (c) drying the board after step b; (d) applying a thinset mortar layer to the primer layer; (e) drying the board after step d; (f) applying a plaster layer to the thinset mortar layer; (g) drying the board after step f; and (h) applying a sealant layer to the plaster layer.

A decorative panel including a substrate material and a decorative top layer, wherein the decorative top layer includes at least one timber layer with a wood structure, wherein the timber layer is a compressed timber layer with naturally occurring vessels throughout a thickness of the wood structure, the vessels being collapsed.

A method of can be used to make a wood composite material. The method includes forming a panel having wood fibers and additives, sanding a main surface of the panel, applying a polymer to the sanded main surface of the panel, and curing the polymer by irradiating the main surface of the panel. After the curing, the main surface has a solid discontinuous composite including a mixture of the wood fibers and cured polymer micro-islands.

Described herein is a barrier coating composition comprising an organic blend comprising a first component and a second component, the first component comprising latex polymer and the second component being selected from polyurethane emulsion, wax emulsion, and alkyd emulsion, wherein the first component and the second component are present in a weight ratio ranging from about 2:1 to about 20:1, and the latex polymer has a glass transition temperature of less than about 18° C.

A protected substrate includes a planar substrate having a surface and a burn-off temporary protective layer positioned over at least a portion of the surface. The burn-off temporary protective layer includes a wax, a polyolefin, a polyester, a polycarbonate, a polyether, or some combination thereof. The burn-off temporary protective layer is removable by a heat treatment process that does not substantially damage the surface. Various other protected substrates and methods for protecting a substrate are also disclosed.
