The present invention relates to curable compositions which comprise (meth)acrylic monomers, ethylenically unsaturated oligomers and a specific multistage polymer additive. The additive is used as a processing aid to reduce cure shrinkage and reduce or prevent the formation of cracks during the polymerization of the composition.

Composites made of a cross-linked acrylic polymer and an inorganic aggregate and/or mineral, with the cross-linked acrylic polymer being present at a concentration of 5% to 17%, by weight, are disclosed. Processes of preparing the composites are also disclosed.

A method may include: introducing a silane based aqueous soluble resin into a wellbore, wherein the silane based aqueous soluble resin comprises a glycidyl alkoxy silane containing resin and an amino alkoxy silane hardener. The silane based aqueous soluble resin may include 3-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane and n-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine.

A process for the waterproofing of porous construction materials, the process including the steps of mixing water and a composition C, the composition C comprising, in each case based on the total weight of the composition C, a) 2-15 wt.-% of at least one binder selected from natural hydraulic lime (NHL), formulated lime (FL), and hydraulic lime (HL), b) 1-20 wt.-% of at least one pozzolanic material, c) 40-80 wt.-% of at least one aggregate, d) 2-30 wt.-% of at least one synthetic polymer, and wherein the content of Portland cement in said composition C is <3 wt.-%, applying the mixture thus obtained to a porous construction material, and optionally hardening the applied mixture.

The present invention is directed to a gypsum board and a method of making such gypsum board. In one embodiment, the gypsum board comprises a gypsum core including a first gypsum core layer and a second gypsum core layer sandwiching a laminate layer. The laminate layer comprises two outer laminate layers sandwiching an inner laminate layer, wherein the two outer laminate layers have a higher elastic modulus than the inner laminate layer. The method of making the gypsum board includes steps of providing facing materials and corresponding gypsum slurries wherein the laminate layer is provided in-line during the manufacturing process of the gypsum board.
