Patent number: 10081945Abstract: According to one embodiment, a roofing membrane laminate includes a first layer of an uncured ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) material and a second layer of a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) material coupled with the EPDM material. The EPDM material has a thickness of between about 50 mils and 70 mils and the TPO material has a thickness of between about 15 mils and 35 mils. The EPDM material and TPO material are coupled via crosslinking of the TPO and EPDM material at an interface thereof, whereby at least a top portion of the EPDM material is cured via the application of heat after the EPDM material and TPO material are placed into contact so as to effect crosslinking of the materials.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2014Date of Patent: September 25, 2018Assignee: Johns ManvilleInventors: Lichih R Peng, Zebonie Sukle, Jordan Kortmeyer, Thomas Justin Stock

Patent number: 10041255Abstract: A roofing membrane may include a main body, a first material, and a second material. The first material may be bonded to the main body and positioned toward a first edge thereof. The second material may be bonded to the main body and positioned toward a second edge thereof. The second edge may be positioned opposite the first edge such that the first and second materials are positioned toward opposite edges of the main body. At least one of the first material or the second material may include a first reactive material of a chemically reactive two-part cure system that is configured to chemically react upon contact of the first reactive material with a second reactive material of the chemically reactive two-part cure system.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Johns ManvilleInventors: Jonas Houchin, Eric Alden Olson, Zebonie Sukle, Bradley Robert Crume, Richard F Gustin, Jr., Jordan Kortmeyer

Publication number: 20180147812Abstract: Materials and methods for mitigating passive intermodulation. A membrane for reducing passive intermodulation includes a first polymeric layer, a second polymeric layer, and a continuous metal layer encapsulated between the first and second polymeric layers. A self-adhesive radio frequency barrier tape includes a waterproof polymeric top layer, a metal-containing layer adhered by an adhesive layer to the polymeric top layer, a pressure sensitive adhesive layer adhered to the metal-containing layer, and a release liner on a bottom surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive layer. A method of mitigating passive intermodulation includes passing a probe over an area of interest, the probe being sensitive to an intermodulation frequency of interest, and identifying a suspected source of passive intermodulation when the amplitude of the probe output exceeds a threshold at the frequency of interest.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2017Publication date: May 31, 2018Inventors: Thomas Bell, Christopher Griffin, Jacob Heaps, Jordan Kortmeyer

Publication number: 20140154449Abstract: According to one embodiment, a method of making a roofing membrane is provided. According to the method, an ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) material sheet is provided and a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) material sheet is extruded onto the EPDM material sheet. The EPDM material sheet and TPO material sheet are then pressed together via one or more rollers. The EPDM material is uncured and has a thickness of between about 50 mils and 70 mils. The extruded TPO sheet has a temperature of at least 150 degrees Celsius and a thickness of between about 15 mils and 35 mils. The heat of the TPO material sheet causes a top portion of the EPDM material sheet to cure such that crosslinking of the TPO and EPDM material sheets occurs at an interface of the sheets to bond the sheets together.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2014Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: JOHNS MANVILLEInventors: Lichih R.

Publication number: 20060249050Abstract: The present invention describes an additive which controls stickies formation and removes anionic trash from recycled old corrugated container furnish, old newsprint furnish, deinked pulp furnish, old magazine grade furnish, coated broke furnish, or thermomechanical pulp furnish. The present invention treats talc with either a tertiary or quaternary amine. The treated talc is then added to the pulp slurry and removes stickies by binding the stickies to the talc and neutralizes the anionic trash that may be present. The present invention also describes a method for modifying talc particles involving contacting a tertiary or quaternary amine with talc particles. The present invention further describes a talc created by the process of contacting a tertiary or quaternary amine with talc particles. The present invention additionally describes a paper product having a modified talc filler wherein the modified talc filler has been contacted with a tertiary or quaternary amine.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2005Publication date: November 9, 2006Applicant: Luzenac America, Inc.Inventors: Shripal Sharma, Jorge Yordan, Vicente Lasmarias, Jordan Kortmeyer, Alexis Layne, Jason Reynolds
