  • Patent number: 11512413
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flexible belt comprising a woven fabric. The woven fabric has approximately parallel straight sides and ends, where the ends are releasably or permanently securable to one another to form an endless loop. The woven fabric contains a set of warp yarns and a set of weft yarns. The set of warp warps are in a warp yarn direction and the warp yarns comprise monofilament warp yarns having a first denier. The set of weft yarns are in a weft yarn direction which is approximately perpendicular to the warp yarn direction. The weft yarns are in a repeating pattern of at least one monofilament weft yarn followed by at least one multifilament weft yarn. The monofilament weft yarn has a linear mass density of at least about 2,500 denier and at least about 5 times the denier of the monofilament warp yarn.

  • Publication number: 20220268027
    Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid applied roofing membrane which contains a textile with a compatibility coating covering essentially all of the fibers of the textile forming a coated textile, a first membrane, and a second membrane. The textile contains a plurality of yarns, the yarns comprising a plurality of fibers. The compatibility coating has a weight of between about 0.5 and 10% of the weight of the textile and contains a first chemistry. The first membrane contains a second chemistry and is located on the first side of the textile, forms the lower surface of the roofing membrane, and covers at least a majority of the second side of the textile. The second membrane contains a third chemistry and is located on the second side of the textile. The first, second, and third chemistries comprise the same class of polymeric material.
