Abstract: The present invention relates to a pleated sealing tape for providing a waterproof covering. The pleated sealing tape includes a flexible sheet made of a polymeric material and having a plurality of pleats extending from a first end of the sheet to an opposing end of the sheet. The pleated sealing tape also has a front surface and a rear surface, and the rear surface of the sheet includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive. When the sheet is applied to a surface, the sheet is configured to be removed by stretching the sheet in a direction transverse to the orientation of the plurality of pleats and subsequently peeling the sheet off of the surface.

Abstract: An underlayment material has a fiber mat partially infused and/or coated with asphalt and coated with silicone coating. A selvedge edge, may be coated or uncoated. The back of the underlayment has a self-adhesive coating, which is protected before use by a siliconized release film. The upper surface of the underlayment is coated with silicone composition providing waterproofing and radiation control. When unsaturated, the selvedge edge of fibrous material establishes a reinforced bond with an overlying sheet. When saturated with asphalt, the bond at the selvedge edge between adjacent sheets is between the asphalt layer of the selvedge edge and the adhesive on the bottom of the adjacent sheet.

Abstract: A radiant barrier has a layer of a flexible polymer, such as TPO, and a layer of metallic aluminum bonded thereto. A reinforcement layer, such as a fiberglass scrim, and a layer of adhesive, such as EVA, may be used to strengthen the barrier and prevent de-lamination. LDPE may be incorporated into the TPO to increase strength. The barrier may also be a moisture barrier. The layers may be laminated by a heated roll set and the aluminum applied by vapor deposition.

Abstract: An adhesive composition has an asphaltic base. A plasticizer, solvent, resin, calcium carbonate, fumed silica, talc an adhesion promoter, a moisture scavenger and a catalyst are included in the adhesive. The resin may be a silylated prepolymer, two part urethane, one part urethane prepolymer, or two part epoxy. Optionally a micronized polyamide wax is added to the composition. Further optionally, an asphalt hardener and/or a silica flour may be included in the mix.

Abstract: A brush for applying a viscous coating to surfaces such as a driveway, has a composition and conformation promoting an even application of the coating. The brush has bristles of a given, number, density/spatial distribution, free length, thickness and elastic modulus that in combination provide a controlled leakage of viscous coating past the brush when the handle thereof is held at a given angle and subjected to a given downforce to facilitate applying the coating.
