  • Patent number: 10040721
    Abstract: A method produces a composite material using a mixing system. The composite material comprises at least one aggregate, e.g. rock and/or glass, and the reaction product of a two-component polymeric binder composition comprising a first component, e.g. an isocyanate component, and a second component, e.g. an isocyanate-reactive component. The mixing system includes a mixing apparatus. The method includes the step of providing the aggregate, the first component and the second component into the mixing apparatus. The method further includes the step of mixing the first and second components to produce the reaction product of the two-component polymeric binder composition, and the step of applying the reaction product of the two-component polymeric binder composition to the aggregate within the mixing apparatus to produce the composite material. The composite material can be used for forming a paved structure, such as a sidewalk or a roadway.

  • Patent number: 6328995
    Abstract: Stable dry powders which are insoluble in hot water and which contain one or more lipid-soluble vitamins an/or one or more carotenoids are formed in an aqueous dispersion containing 2 to 50% by weight of at least one protein, 1 to 30% by weight of at least one sugar, 0.2 to 20% by weight of K2HPO4, Na2HPO4 or mixtures thereof, 0.1 to 20% by weight of at least one lipoid-soluble vitamin and/or at least one carotenoid and 5 to 95% of water. This dispersion is converted into dry powder which is heated in the range of 55° C. to 1800° C.
