The flexible joint compound of this invention primarily contains 2 to 20 parts by weight of an emulsion polymer having a Tg that is less than about ?40° C., and 22 to 44 parts by weight of total water, based on 100 parts by weight calcium sulfate hemihydrate filler. It can be applied to joints between two adjacent sheets of gypsum board to form a flexible joint that is resistant to cracking.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2000Date of Patent: April 26, 2005Assignee: Air Products Polymers, L.P.Inventor: E. Chris Hornaman

Patent number: 6867249Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a construction material by mixing a cementitious material, rubber bits and water. It also extends to a construction material comprising cured cementitious material and rubber bits in which the rubber bits are bonded together in a porous and permeable matrix by the cementitious material. An elastic binding material improves the physical properties of the construction material. The construction material can be cast in place or formed into blocks for transport to a construction site.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2002Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Inventor: Kin Man Amazon Lee
