The invention is a below grade waterproofing and methane barrier sheet membrane with an aluminum facer and a method of making and using same, and more particularly the invention is directed to a dual layer system comprising of at least one bituminous moisture or waterproofing barrier sheet membrane with an aluminum facer or an aluminum layer that when combined is also a methane gas barrier, and is UV stable, that is used in construction of a building, and placed under, or around a foundation of a building or a dwelling or on its below grade retaining walls. Optionally, a liner and/or a drainage protection media can also be used with the inventive dual layer system.

An exterior sheathing cementitious panel which prevents water penetration and air leakage is provided. Methods for manufacturing exterior sheathing cementitious panels with a highly efficient integrated air/water barrier sheet are also provided. An exterior sheathing system employing the exterior sheathing cementitious panel is provided.

In a decorative material, a matting agent is added to, of a first gloss-adjusting layer and a second gloss-adjusting layer, one with lower gloss, where the matting agent has a particle diameter of less than 1.0 times the thickness of the gloss-adjusting layer with lower gloss. The matting agent can be thereby exposed to the surface while floating in the gloss-adjusting layer. Accordingly, a sufficient matting effect can be obtained in front observation, and unevenness imparted to the surface can be reduced; thus, the effect of scattering obliquely entering light is weakened, and the matting effect can be reduced when observed obliquely. Therefore, a picture pattern expressed by the difference in gloss, i.e., a design, can be made invisible when observed obliquely.

A dried latex emulsion coating on a surface of a metal member is used as a thin bond layer on well tubular joints, on tubular strings in wells, and on other metal members. The bond layer promotes adhesion to cement members formed from hardening a cement slurry in contact with the bond layer. The bond layer can be used in bonded cement structures, on well tubular joints, on tubular strings in a well, on tubular strings cemented in a well, in methods of making the cement structures and the tubular strings, and in methods of placing and cementing a tubular string in a well.

A thermal insulation structure is disposed at an exterior of a chamber of a heating device. The thermal insulation structure includes a heat conduction layer, a heat storage layer and a reflection layer. The heat conduction layer is adapted to conduct heat from the chamber to the heat storage layer. The heat storage layer is adapted to store heat. The reflection layer is adapted to reflect radiation heat back to the chamber, whereby a temperature of the chamber could be kept at a constant so as to reduce heat dissipation of the chamber.

Described herein is an acoustic structural panel having a first exposed major surface opposite a second exposed major surface and side surfaces extending between the first and second exposed major surfaces, the acoustic structural panel comprising a first protective layer comprising at least a portion of the first exposed major surface, a second protective layer comprising at least a portion of the second exposed surface, a core structure located between the first and second protective layers, the core structure comprising, a foam body; and a fibrous body, wherein the first major exposed surface of the acoustic structural panel comprises a plurality of apertures exposing the fibrous body.
