Abstract: The invention relates to liquid compositions that include an aqueous asphalt mixture and polyurethane dispersion. The polyurethane dispersion includes a polyurethane that is based on an aliphatic polyol backbone based on polytetramethyl ethlene glycol and/or polycaprolactone. The aqueous asphalt mixture in the liquid composition generally constitutes a majority volume percent of the liquid composition. The polyurethane dispersion generally constitutes at least about 0.1 volume percent of said liquid composition.

Abstract: A reinforced fabric that includes a first fiber group and a thread. The first fiber group includes a plurality of fiber sets positioned substantially parallel to one another. Each of the fiber sets includes a plurality of fibers. The thread is formed of at least one strand of material. The thread has an outer surface that is formed of a material having a melting point that is less than the melting point of the fibers in the fiber sets. The thread is stitched about the fiber sets to at least partially maintain a position of the fiber sets relative to one another. The thread forms a plurality of heat created permanent closed loop structures in the reinforced fabric. At least one of the loop structures encircles at least one fiber set. At least one of the fibers in the fibers sets is not strongly bonded to the thread that encircles the fiber set.

Abstract: A bitumen based adhesive that includes asphalt and/or coal tar and at least one silylated polymer and/or silyl-terminated polymer. The bitumen based adhesive can also include a plasticizer.
