Abstract: A barrier composite has a barrier layer that is water resistant, and adhesive for applying the barrier composite to an external wall surface and an integral release layer to allow the adhesive to release such that a roll or barrier composite can be unspooled and attached directly the said wall surface without removing a release liner. A barrier composite may also include a plurality of stand-offs extending to an exterior surface of the barrier composite and configured to allow precipitation that has passed through the outer shingles to flow down along the barrier composite. The integral release layer may be configured on, in or over the stand-offs. The stand-offs may be configured with a material that prevents the adhesive from adhering or that splits or fractures to produce stand-off deposits. Alternatively, the adhesive may be configured to wick into the stand-offs and then split producing adhesive deposits on the stand-offs.

Abstract: A burn resistant barrier composite for application to a roof or wall of a building incorporates a metal foil in a woven fabric to improve burn through resistance. The barrier composite may be a roof underlayment or a housewrap. A barrier composite incorporates a polymer film attached to a metal foil that is cut into tapes and then woven into a woven fabric. The polymer film may be a tensilized polymer film that has increase modulus through orienting the film. The space between the tapes in the woven fabric provides permeability for moisture vapor. An additional barrier layer may be attached to the woven fabric to prevent moisture and/or water transfer through the barrier composite or to enable moisture vapor transmission through the barrier composite. An adhesive may be attached to the barrier composite to enable direct adhesion to a wall or roof surface.

Abstract: A multi-layered fire-resistant roofing underlayment is disclosed. The roofing underlayment has a core of aluminum foil. On each side of the aluminum foil is a layer of nonwoven material. A lamination coating is between the aluminum foil layer and the layers of nonwoven material. At the bottom of the roofing underlayment is a backside coating layer. The roofing underlayment may be utilized in bats or rolls.

Abstract: A multi-layered breathable fire-resistant roofing underlayment is disclosed. The roofing underlayment has a core of aluminum foil. On each side of the aluminum foil is a layer of nonwoven material. A lamination coating is between the aluminum foil layer and the layers of nonwoven material. At the bottom of the roofing underlayment is a backside coating layer. The roofing underlayment has microperforations in one or more of the layers of material to permit airflow. The roofing underlayment may be utilized in bats or rolls.

Abstract: A method of fabrication for synthetic thermoplastic building material, is disclosed, which includes providing a filler material of proportions of 65%-90% of overall composition, adding thermoplastic resin of proportions of 10%-35% of overall composition, adding a processing stabilizer/lubricant, whereby the resultant overall composition is a thermoplastic material, and extruding said thermoplastic material into building shapes.

Abstract: A synthetic building material formulated for commercial extrusion processing is disclosed. The material includes filler material of proportions of 65%-90% of overall composition, thermoplastic resin of proportions of 10%-35% of overall composition, and processing stabilizer/lubricant which is chosen from a group consisting of metallic stearate, hydrocarbons, fatty acids, esters, amides fluoropolymers, silicones, and boron nitride.
