Abstract: Waterproof urethane-based adhesive compositions for flooring applications. Silane is reacted with a prepolymer to at least partially end-cap the prepolymer. A reinforcing extender, a thixotropic agent, a magnetic agent, a first catalyst, and methylethylketoximino (MEKO) silane are also added to the composition to form the deactivated adhesive mixture. Prior to coating a substrate with the adhesive, a second catalyst is added to the adhesive mixture. The second catalyst speeds up the curing time and improves the shelf life of the moisture cure adhesive. The adhesive is cured to a final product that is waterproof, hydrolytically stable, and pH resistant.

Abstract: An automotive wax emulsion created by a unique cold, reverse, water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion process is described herein. The emulsion is created at room temperatures under high shear in minutes. The formulation can carry various abrasive materials, shine enhancement actives, wax and lubrication components without preservatives. The formulation provides for an emulsion with unique “Quick-Break” type characteristics. When applied by hand, the emulsion breaks upon friction with the contact surface releasing the oil-soluble actives in a controlled manner that eliminates the need for electric or pneumatic machine buffing.

Abstract: Magnetic waterproof urethane-based coating compositions are described herein. Silane is reacted with prepolymer urethane to at least partially end-cap the urethane. A reinforcing extender, a thixotropic agent, a magnetic agent, and methylethylketoximino (MEKO) silane are also added to the composition. When applied to a substrate, the coating composition has a tack-free time of at least about 90-120 minutes. The coating is cured to a final product that is magnetic, waterproof, hydrolytically stable, and pH resistant.

Abstract: Pressure sensitive and waterproof urethane-based adhesive compositions and methods of preparing said compositions. A silane is added to a prepolymer urethane to react with the urethane and at least partially end-cap the urethane. A reinforcing extender and a thixotropic agent are added to the composition. Methylethylketoximino (MEKO) silane is further added to the composition. When applied to a substrate, the adhesive composition has a tack-free time of at least about 90-120 minutes. The adhesive is cured to a final product that is waterproof, hydrolytically stable, and pH resistant.

Abstract: A polymeric degassing primer composed of an alkali-resistant polymer having a low viscosity. The degassing primer is spread over a concrete substrate prior to applying a waterproof adhesive. The waterproof adhesive can be used to bond a flooring material to the concrete substrate coated with the degassing primer. The degassing primer penetrates and displaces air from the concrete micro-channels and pores, thereby eliminating the possibility of creating air bubbles under the flooring material.

A reinforcing extender, a thixotropic agent, and methylethylketoximino (MEKO) silane are also added to the composition.

The adhesive is cured to a final product that is waterproof, hydrolytically stable, and pH resistant. In conjunction with the adhesive, a prepolymer composition may be used to suppress moisture vapor emanating from a concrete surface. The prepolymer composition can penetrate and polymerize within the near-surface region of the concrete substrate to form a densified concrete/plastic matrix that is self-priming when cured.

Abstract: A polymeric matrix adhesive composition and methods of preparing said compositions. A silane is added to a prepolymer urethane to react with the urethane and at least partially end-cap the urethane to produce a silane end-capped polymer component. A reinforcing extender and a thixotropic agent are reacted with the silane end-capped polymer component. The cured product of the polymeric matrix adhesive composition is waterproof, hydrolytically stable, and pH resistant.
