Abstract: A pressurized construction adhesive applicator system is provided that is able to apply adhesive to vertical surfaces without foaming, solvents, or resort to mechanical pumps. The pressurized construction adhesive applicator system including a canister having a volume, a one- part curable construction adhesive in the volume a lid forming a seal with said canister, an applicator wand having a trigger in fluid communication with the one-part curable construction adhesive via a tube, and a pressurant in the volume in an amount sufficient to urge the one-part curable construction adhesive from the volume and out of a nozzle of the applicator as a bead with depression of the trigger.

Abstract: An adhesive formulation is provided that is a waterborne bonding adhesive for adhering sheet membranes that may incorporate a solid plasticizer. The formulation is fast-curing and develops bond strength rapidly after application to a substrate as the adhesive dries, when the sheet membrane is mated to the substrate. The fast-curing characteristic is important to ensure the membrane is not displaced from the surface in windy exterior applications. The adhesive is formulated to form the bond between sheet membranes to substrates that illustratively include, steel, wood, concrete, roof boards, insulation, and fiberglass mat roof boards.

Abstract: A structural moisture-cured polyurethane adhesive is provided in a pressurized container (60) that is formulated to meet the structural requirements of wall and floor construction for the manufactured housing and recreational vehicle industry, and is designed to bond flooring to joists, wallboard to stud and header framing, as well as other structural applications. The pressurized container (60) allows for adhesive application on horizontal and vertical surfaces without any outside pumps or motors. The pressurized container (60) is portable and may be moved around the structure and/or manufacturing plant. The pressurized container (60) has a hose (64) and applicator gun (20) attached to it, where a trigger (42) on the gun (20) is depressed to dispense the adhesive. The adhesive flows consistently from the pressurized container (60), and the gun (20) is adjustable to regulate bead size for consistent placement of a bed of adhesive, which is an improvement over manual operated caulking guns.

Abstract: Propellants comprising a combination of: (a) a liquid component that is soluble in the organic chemical-based material; (b) a soluble gas component that has a solubility of at least about 3% by weight in the organic chemical-based material; and, (c) a substantially insoluble gas component that has a solubility of less than about 3% by weight of the organic chemical-based material are effective for a wide range of airless applications. Adjustment of the ratios of (a) to (b) to (c) can lead to propellants that provide excellent spray patterns for a wide range of organic chemical-based formulations.

Abstract: An artificial turf structure comprises a top layer comprising at least two pieces of artificial turf material, the pieces positioned contiguous to each other to form a seam between the pieces; a substrate underlying the top layer; and a high solids single component moisture cure polyurethane adhesive applied between the top layer and the substrate, wherein the adhesive comprises either: A. a reaction product of isocyanates, polyols, catalyst and defoamers having a viscosity of the said reaction product in the range of 2,000 to 30,000 cps, and having water-(moisture) reactive free-isocyanate content of 5.2 to 9.2% by weight based on 100% by weight of said reaction product, or B. a reaction product of isocyanates, polyols, catalyst, defoamers and thixotropic agents having a viscosity of the said thixotropic reaction product in the range of 30,000 to 900,000 cps and having water-(moisture) reactive free-isocyanate content of 3.8 to 7.8% by weight based on 100% by weight of said reaction product.
