Abstract: A polyiso foam wall board includes a polyisocyanurate foam core produced from an isocyanate and a polyol. The wall board also includes a facer material applied to an outer surface of the polyisocyanurate foam core and an intumescent coating applied to the facer material.

Abstract: Systems and methods for making a waterproofed concrete wall assembly, such as for a basement wall. A form is constructed. At least a first side of the form is made of one or more boards having a polymer foam and a fibrous facer. At least some of the boards have perimeter edges shaped such that some adjacent boards overlap at the shaped perimeter edges. Concrete is poured into the gap between the sides of the form, and is allowed to harden. The other side of the form may be removed, while leaving the boards of the first side of the form in place adjacent the hardened concrete. Some of the concrete is infused into the fibrous facers of at least some of the boards.

Abstract: Systems and methods for making a waterproofed concrete wall assembly, such as for a basement wall. A waterproof liner is present at the pouring of the concrete of the wall assembly, and has a fibrous layer into which concrete can infuse before hardening. The waterproof liner may include one or more boards including a polymer foam. The boards may line a form used to make the wall assembly, or may make up part of the form.

Abstract: A curable formaldehyde-free binding composition for use with fiberglass is provided. Such curable composition comprises a substantially unpolymerized acrylate and/or methacrylate primarily having no more than approximately six recurring moieties. The composition is either unpolymerized at the time of its application to the fiberglass or in the form of an oligomer. The curable composition is coated on fiberglass and thereafter is cured to form a secure binder. In a preferred embodiment the fiberglass is the form of building insulation. In other embodiments the product is a microglass-based substrate useful for as a printed circuit board, battery separator, filter stock, or reinforcement scrim.

Abstract: A curable formaldehyde-free binding composition for use with fiberglass is provided. Such curable composition comprises a conjugate addition product of an amine and an unsaturated reactant in the form of a ?-amino-ester or ?-amino-amide intermediate. The composition when coated on fiberglass is cured to form a water-insoluble polyamide or polyimide binder which exhibits good adhesion to glass. In a preferred embodiment the fiberglass is in the form of building insulation. In other embodiments the product is a microglass-based substrate for use in a printed circuit board, battery separator, filter stock, or reinforcement scrim.

Abstract: The use of thermosetting binder systems in the manufacture of glass fibers and composites manufactured from glass fiber is disclosed, and in particular, thermosetting binder resins derived from renewable resources that are useful as replacements for formaldehyde-based binders in non-woven fiberglass goods.

Abstract: Glass compositions suitable for rotary fiberization. The compositions contain SiO2 in an amount of about 49-56 wt %, Al2O3 in an amount of about 5.0-8.0 wt %, B2O3 in an amount of about 10-15 wt %, RO (MgO+CaO) in an amount of about 8-11 wt %, and R2O (Na2O+K2O) in an amount of about 18-25 wt %. The compositions have an HTV in the range of about 1675°-1775° F. and a liquidus at least 100° F. below the HTV.
