Abstract: A watercraft mooring device is provided. The mooring device provides a rigid body extending between a rigid hook portion and an elastic loop connectable to the watercraft. The rigid hook portion has a distal end that transitions by way of a curvature to a proximal end rigidly connected to the rigid body. A foam layer may encase the rigid body, giving floatation properties to the mooring device as well as bumper capabilities. The prong of the hook portion is dimensioned and adapted to slide through a slot of a cleat or the like on a docking structure, whereby the curvature enables a pivotal connection so that the loop end of mooring device may move vertically out of plane with the cleat slot, while the rigidity of the hook portion and the rigid body of the mooring device keeps the watercraft spaced apart from the docking structure.

Abstract: An adhesive composition for adhesively bonding floor coverings to a variety of substrates. The composition includes 0.2 to 10 weight percent of a plurality of irregularly shaped spacer particles of size 0.5 mm to 10 mm; 10 to 50 weight percent of a moisture curable polymer system; and 40 to 90 weight percent of additives for modifying physical properties of the composition. The adhesive has a composition such that, when cured, results in an elastomeric film of uniform thickness that exhibits controlled moisture vapor transmission and sound abatement properties. A floor structure and a method for constructing the floor structure using the adhesive composition are also provided.

Abstract: Removable, aqueous-based compositions, especially sealants useful for, inter alia, temporary craft applications and seasonal weatherization of buildings and methods of their use are disclosed. These sealants reduce the flammability risks and lingering odor problems associated using solvent-based systems, particularly during application. These compositions do not rely on additives that disrupt the adhesion of the compositions to the substrate and that leave undesirable residue on the substrate.

Abstract: A high performance, hot melt, single-component sealant which combines the prefered properties of single- and two-component sealants. The sealant comprises a styrene block copolymer, a moisture-curable silylated polyurethane prepolymer, an aromatic tackifier resin, a polar tackifier resin, a polyethylene wax and an organo silane adhesion promoter. Optionally, the sealant may include UV absorbers, antioxidants, plasticizers, catalysts, fillers, pigments, and the like. The sealant does not require mixing before it is applied at a high temperature to the surface that is to be sealed. After application, the sealant forms, upon cooling, a solid elastomer. Upon further exposure to atmospheric moisture, the sealant forms a thermoset crosslinked network having the preferred properties of two-component chemically-cured sealants. The sealant is suitable for use as an edge sealant for insulated glass.
