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.
