  • Patent number: 11124448
    Abstract: A curable formaldehyde-free binding composition for use with fiberglass is provided. Such curable composition comprises an addition product of an amine and a reactant to form an amino-amide intermediate. To the amino-amide is added an aldehyde or ketone to form the curable binder composition. The composition when applied to fiberglass is cured to form a water-insoluble binder which exhibits good adhesion to glass. In a preferred embodiment the composition when applied to fiberglass provides a sufficient blackness required in facer products.

  • Patent number: 11084251
    Abstract: A method for producing laminate composite materials, as well as the laminate composite materials produced by this method and their use are described. The laminate composite materials are sandwich-like in construction and based on halogenated polymers and comprise a first laminar structure formed from halogenated polymer and a second laminar structure formed from halogenated polymer as well as at least one textile mat structure based on inorganic fibres, which is disposed between the first and the second laminar structure. The textile mat structure based on inorganic fibres comprises regions with high air permeability and regions with low air permeability, through which the two laminar structures formed from halogenated polymer are monolithically bonded together.

  • Patent number: 10101349
    Abstract: A test management system is presented. The system comprises an analyzer to perform tests a sample according to a first set of instructions, a manager module connected to the analyzer, and a first order interface connected to the manager module. The manager module directs activity of the analyzer according to a second set of instructions. The first order interface receives an order for a first analytical test and a second analytical test and transmits the order to the manager module. If the order is for the first analytical test, the test manager module forwards the order directly to the analyzer and the sample is analyzed by the analyzer according to the first set of instructions. If the order is for the second analytical test, the manager module handles the order according to the second set of instructions and generates and transmits secondary test requests to the analyzer.
