Abstract: A roofing system includes an insulation layer and an exposed fiber surface of a sheet. A cement layer is placed intermediate therebetween. An elastomeric outer weatherproof coating overlies the sheet. A process for applying to a roofing system is provided that includes applying to a roofing substrate an insulation layer having an upper surface. Wet cement is applied on the upper surface of the insulation layer. An exposed fiber surface of a sheet is placed in contact cement. The sheet is then either directly or with intermediate layers therebetween overlayered with an elastomeric weatherproof coating. An insulation board is also provided that includes an exposed fiber backing. The exposed fiber backing accepts an overlayer of elastomer, cement, or mastic.

Abstract: A lightweight cementitious composite material includes expanded synthetic polymer particulate having a particle size of between 0.0625 and 0.5 inches. A dispersant coating on said particulate suppresses electrostatic attraction between particulate particles. A matrix surrounds the particulate and is present from 0.25 to 1 pound per gallon of dispersant coated particulate.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved composite material structure having large portions of additive material aligned over a substantial width of a material structure and occupying a larger percentage of the structure volume. The material structure includes a resilient substrate layer or conventional decking having a plurality of elongated rods arranged on a surface of the substrate layer to form at least one rod layer. The spaces between rods are filled with a slurry material which is allowed to set causing the component elements to bond together to form a lightweight durable and high strength composite material structure.
