Abstract: A gypsum tile backer panel with a pre-impregnated or pre-coated nonwoven fiber face mat. Methods for manufacturing these gypsum tile backer panel which include applying a gypsum slurry to a pre-impregnated or pre-coated nonwoven fiber face mat are also provided. A gypsum tile backer panel system employing the gypsum tile backer panel is also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and a method for manufacturing a cementitious panel can be used to produce a cementitious panel having a multi-layer air/water barrier membrane assembly. The layers of the membrane can be built up via a series of applicator stations applying a fluid composition using roll coating, for example. Between applicator stations the applied layer of fluid composition can be subjected to drying conditions via infrared heating. To help protect from the deleterious effects of infrared heating, the cementitious panel can be conveyed through a cooling tunnel after each drying section.

Abstract: An iron-containing metal surface, such as a brushed stainless steel, comprises a heat-set layer of a metal phosphate reaction product formed between a surface metal and phosphate precursor wherein the reaction product layer has an average thickness less than 2 micrometers. A metal surface, that resists retention of environmental stains or marks as well as resisting tarnish at elevated temperatures, is formed by forming a reaction product with the metal surface by heat setting a surface liquid layer containing a phosphate precursor such as a phosphate ester-containing solution or phosphoric acid solution, and optionally containing a phospho alumina precursor, onto the metal surface. An article coated in accordance with this invention is similar in appearance to a similar article without such a coating for maintaining original aesthetic properties.

Abstract: A solid amorphous silica-rich aluminosilicate composition is stable at temperatures up to 1500° C. or above and is capable of sustained use as a coating under high to extreme temperature conditions.
