Abstract: A building material having a durable exterior finish comprising a fiber cement substrate laminated with a fluorohydrocarbon protective film. The protective film provides the fiber cement substrate with resistance to weathering and maintains the surface texture of the underlying fiber cement substrate while providing an aesthetically pleasing and uniform pre-finish on the exterior surface. The protective film is bonded to the fiber cement substrate using an adhesive composition comprised of a one-component moisture cure polyurethane or polyurea adhesive composition having a reactive isocyanate compound or a two component polyurethane or polyurea composition.

Abstract: A durable, moisture and insect resistant fence system made from fiber cement is provided. The fence system includes one or more fiber cement pickets aligned between two posts that are anchored to the ground. The fiber cement pickets are formed into the desired shape and dimension prior to curing of the fiber cement. One end of the pickets can be formed into popular pickets designs such as square cut, dog-eared, French gothic, scalloped, pointed, and saw-toothed. The fence system can be easily assembled using conventional techniques such as nailing or stapling. The fiber cement pickets can be formed to resemble conventional fence pickets made from natural wood, masonry, or other materials. Patterns, textures, finishes and designs are applied to the pickets using man-made processes so that the pickets have a consistent appearance.

Abstract: An adhesive composition adapted to bond a fluorohydrocarbon film to a substrate for exterior applications, such as roofing, panels, siding, trim, and the like. The adhesive mixture generally comprises a one component moisture cure polyurethane or polyurea adhesive composition having a reactive isocyanate compound, one or more catalysts that are capable of catalyzing the reaction of isocyanate and hydroxyl functional groups in the presence of moisture. The adhesive mixture can also comprise a two component polyurethane or polyurea composition including a reactive isocyanate compound, a polyol or polyamine, one or more catalysts.
