Publication number: 20110008629Abstract: A laminated panel comprises at least one facer comprising a coating applied to a facer sheet to provide a coated facer surface, and a thermosetting plastic foam firmly adhered to the coated facer surface. In an example, non-limiting embodiment, the facer sheet comprises a nonwoven glass mat; the coating comprises a coating mixture comprising a mineral pigment and a dried latex; and the thermosetting plastic foam is comprised of an insulation material selected from the group consisting of polyurethane modified polyisocyanurate foam, polyurethane foam, and phenolic-formaldehyde foam. In an example variation, the nonwoven glass mat has the coating applied to two opposing flat surfaces thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2008Publication date: January 13, 2011Applicant: Atlas Roofing CorporationInventors: Daniel D.

Patent number: 7867927Abstract: A coated glass mat comprises a glass mat substrate having non-woven glass fibers and a coating which essentially uniformly penetrates the glass mat substrate to desired fractional thickness of the coated glass mat. The coating imparts a tensile strength to the coated glass mat which on average is at least 1.33 times greater than the tensile strength of the glass mat substrate without the coating. In example embodiments, penetration of the coating into the glass mat substrate preferably extends to a depth of from twenty five percent of a thickness of the coated glass mat to seventy five percent of the thickness of the coated glass mat. Moreover, a non-coated thickness of the coated glass mat is sufficiently thick for bonding purposes with, e.g., a gypsum slurry or other core materials such as thermoplastic or thermosetting plastics. The coating has a porosity in a range of from 1.3 CFM to 5.0 CFM, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2006Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Atlas Roofing Corp.Inventors: Philip Bush, Robert H.

Patent number: 6572736Abstract: The non-woven web of the present invention is comprised of recycled cellulose fiber and untreated Clarifier Sludge, and optionally, recycled glass fiber. Unlike uses of reclaimed Clarifier Sludge whereby the material has been treated in some fashion to improve its quality, the non-woven web of the present invention utilizes untreated Clarifier Sludge. The Clarifier Sludge of the present invention is dry enough to handle, and in one example varies between about 30% and about 45% solids. The Clarifier Sludge can be added to web-forming equipment (e.g., papermaking equipment) either in a waste paper disintegrator or into a recycling apparatus (e.g., broke pulper) whose output is metered into a refiner tank of the web-forming equipment. In an embodiment utilizing a broke pulper for introduction of the Clarifier Sludge, the broke pulper is filled with clarifier sludge and water to a consistency of about 3.5% solids.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2001Date of Patent: June 3, 2003Assignee: Atlas Roofing CorporationInventors: Philip Bush, Ricky Burkeen, Robert H.

Publication number: 20020059990Abstract: A non-woven web such as a facer comprises recycled cellulose fiber; recycled glass fiber, and, a sizing agent which provides the mat with decreased liquid penetrability over time. An example suitable sizing agent is alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) which has a dry basis add-on rate of from about 0.15% to about 0.4%, and preferably a dry basis add-on rate of from about 0.2% to about 0.3%. The sizing agent provides the mat with decreased liquid penetrability four weeks after mat production. In one aspect of the invention, the mats/facers can be employed as a facer for a rigid cellular foam board.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2001Publication date: May 23, 2002Inventors: Philip Bush, Ricky Burkeen, Robert H.
