A waterproofing system including at least two different layers, one layer being a mounting layer and one other layer being a functional layer, the two layers being directly or indirectly connected to each other over at least parts of their opposing surfaces, wherein the functional layer includes at least a thermoplastic polymer and at least a mineral binder.

The present invention relates to an ethylene polymer composition for use in adhesive applications, to an article comprising the ethylene polymer composition and to a process for producing said article.

The invention provides a waterproofing membrane which does not require a removable release sheet but which nevertheless bonds to post-cast concrete and facilitates water-tight sealing at membrane-to-membrane overlaps. The waterproofing membrane comprises a carrier and pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) layers, an inorganic particle layer having particulate bodies which are partially embedded in the PSA and which have an average particle size less than the average thickness of the PSA layer, and an anti-submarining nano-silica-containing coating layer attached to un-embedded portions of the inorganic particles to prevent total embedding into the PSA when the membrane is rolled or unrolled, whereby water-tight seams are facilitated between overlapped portions of adjacently installed waterproofing membranes, and whereby the water-tight seam is achieved preferably using only detailing or waterproofing tape and without the additional use of a liquid primer, mastic, or other coating.

A method includes providing a plurality of prefabricated parts for assembly, where the plurality of prefabricated parts comprises one or more rubber mats and a central core. The method also includes preparing one or more external surfaces of the central core, applying a sealer to the one or more external surfaces of the central core, applying a bonding agent primer and a top coat to the one or more external surfaces of the central core, and pressing the one or more rubber mats to the one or more external surfaces of the central core. The method further includes applying a constant pressure to the one or more rubber mats and the central core, where a combination of the one or more rubber mats and the central core forms a blast and ballistic resistance wall.

A vibration absorption device for acoustic insulation for a building structure comprises an absorbent cushion and a vibration isolation cushion. The building structure is selected from a ceiling structure, a floor structure and a partitioning structure separating two adjacent building compartments or a building compartment and the external environment. The absorbent cushion comprises sound absorbing material and the vibration isolation cushion comprising vibration isolation material. The vibration isolation cushion overlies and is laminated to the absorbent cushion. The vibration isolation cushion is rigid relative to the absorbent cushion. The absorbent cushion is supple relative to the vibration isolation cushion. The vibration absorption device is mountable to the building structure, to isolate vibrations and to provide acoustic insulation between the two separated and adjacent building compartments.

A multi-layered thermoplastic roofing membrane comprising a planar body including at least three layers, said at least three layers including (i) a top layer that includes magnesium hydroxide dispersed within a thermoplastic resin, (ii) an upper middle layer disposed below said top layer and including magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate dispersed within a thermoplastic resin, and (iii) a lower layer disposed below said upper middle layer and including magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate dispersed within a thermoplastic resin.

Provided is a two-component-type primer having good adhesive property with a base material, particularly a nonferrous metal, and excellent curability, without containing any chromium compound. The two-component-type primer comprises an epoxy resin, an MXDA (meta-xylenediamine) Mannich modified curing agent, a gypsum (excluding crystal gypsum), and a pigment (excluding gypsum), wherein the volume concentration of a gypsum and a pigment in a dry coating film formed with the primer is 40 to 50%.

The present invention is directed to a stretchable graphene-based barrier layer on an elastomeric substrate.

A polyolefin-based roofing membrane comprising a planar thermoplastic sheet, optionally having more than one layer, where at least one layer of the membrane includes a polyolefin thermoplastic resin having a blend of magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate dispersed therein.

A multi-layered thermoplastic roofing membrane comprising a planar body including at least three layers, said at least three layers including (i) a top layer that includes magnesium hydroxide dispersed within a thermoplastic resin, (ii) an upper middle layer disposed below said top layer and including magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate dispersed within a thermoplastic resin, and (iii) a lower layer disposed below said upper middle layer and including magnesium hydroxide and calcium carbonate dispersed within a thermoplastic resin.
