  • Patent number: 11787162
    Abstract: A breathable synthetic roofing underlayment having a hydrophobic nonwoven layer on top to deflect water, a liquid water-resistant and vapour-permeable membrane layer in the middle, and a bottom nonwoven layer which is hydrophilic and has rapid and high liquid water absorbency. This accelerates the movement of liquid water from a roofing deck into the nonwoven bottom layer and increases the rate of transfer of water through the underlayment. The bottom layer comprises a carrier resin and a hydrophilic agent, which may be a polyamide such as polycaprolactam (Nylon 6) or poly(hexamethylene adipamide), a polysorbate or other composition. The underlayment is especially useful for application to wet roofing decks.

  • Patent number: 11760069
    Abstract: Systems and methods for using, configuring, and manufacturing self-obscuring tamper-evident labels can include producing labels that have adhesive and non-adhesive sides. The non-adhesive side can be configured to receive printing such as machine-readable codes. The labels typically have multiple layers which can be configured for various tasks. For example, one layer can be configured as an irreversible void material that generates indicia upon receiving a certain tension associated with removal from a surface. Another layer may be configured to ease the removal of the label from a surface while another generates deformations under tension. The indicia, deformations, and machine-readable code printed on the non-adhesive side can be configured such that when activated, the indicia render the machine-readable code unreadable via machine.
