Patent number: 11958955Abstract: Hybrid spray foams utilize a urethane reactant, a crosslinker, and an (optional) epoxy and/or acrylic resin along with a blowing agent and rheology modifier to produce a quick-setting foam that remains in place until the foam forms and cures. The urethane reactant may be formed as an adduct with or without the use of isocyanate chemistry. In some embodiments, the polyurethane oligomer is made by reacting cyclocarbonates and di- or polyamines, while in other embodiments the polyurethane backbone employs the use of commercially available capped or blocked urethane oligomers made by any method. The oligomers contain reactive groups, typically at the oligomer ends, that crosslink with crosslinkers or with acrylic or epoxy resins to form hybrid polyurethane foams. Foams may also contain a plasticizer, and/or a surfactant as well as other optional additives. Methods of making such foams are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Owens Corning Intellectual Capital, LLCInventor: Fatemeh Nassreen Olang

Patent number: 11702801Abstract: Roadway resurfacing often requires removal of the existing asphalt from the roadway for reuse. One method of resurfacing a roadway is hot-in-place recycling. Hot-in-place recycling employs substantial heat to remove the oxidized or aged asphalt. This heat further oxidizes the asphalt, creating a material that lacks many desirable properties (e.g., flowability) and flexibility. The disclosure provides compositions and methods that enhance oxidized asphalt, making it more viable for use in resurfacing roadways. Accordingly, compositions comprising recycled asphalt pavement and a rejuvenating agent are disclosed. The compositions combine a rejuvenator and fresh asphalt flux to make a modified asphalt rejuvenator. The modified rejuvenator is then mixed with recycled asphalt pavement to form a rejuvenated asphalt composition.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2020Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: Owens Corning Intellectual Capital, LLCInventors: Timothy Murphy, Courtney Rice, Jason Guerra
