Definitions
- Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward composite high density polyisocyanurate cover boards that have improved fire properties due, at least in part, to the absence of a hydrocarbon blowing agent and the presence of a glass facer that includes an external coating including inert filler and an interfacial coating including intumescent material.
- Coverboards and recovery boards are often used in commercial roofing systems to provide roofs with fire barrier properties, protection from foot traffic, and protection from environmental forces such as hail.
- a commonly used coverboard is a fiberglass faced gypsum board, which is sold under the tradename DENSDECK.
- DENSDECK a fiberglass faced gypsum board
- these boards have found wide acceptance because they are noncombustible, per ASTM E136, have been certified by UL for fire resistance under the 790 and 1256 classifications, meet FM class 1 approvals for metal decks, and meet ASTM E84 standards for flame and smoke. While fire resistant and dimensionally stable, these construction boards have appreciable weight and structure, which impacts transportation, movement on a job site, and overall ease of installation. There is a desire, therefore, for construction boards with similar fire resistance and dimensional stability that are lighter and more manageable (e.g., easier to cut).
- Polyisocyanurate coverboards are known.
- U.S. Publication No. 2006/0179749 teaches high density polyisocyanurate construction boards for use as a coverboard or recover board. These boards may be characterized by having a density above 2.5 lbs/ft 3 and an index of at least 175.
- These boards can include a hydrocarbon, such as a pentane isomer, as an insulating agent, which compounds also serve as blowing agents during the manufacture of the foam.
- These construction boards also carry facer materials such as cellulosic, glass, or foil facers.
- a fire retardant such as tri(monochloropropyl) phosphate is included within the foam forming materials, especially in the presence of flammable blowing agents such as pentane isomers.
- U.S. Publication No. 2010/0031603 is likewise directed toward high density polyisocyanurate construction boards that meet the requirements imposed by UL 790 for flame spread. These boards have a density of greater than 2.5 lbs/ft 3 , an iso index of at least 270, and a cellular body that includes at least 5.0 wt. % flame retardant.
- One or more embodiments of the present invention provide a construction board comprising a foam body having first and second planar surfaces, said foam body including a polyisocyanurate foam matrix defining a plurality of closed cells, said closed cells being at least substantially devoid of hydrocarbon blowing agents, and said foam body being characterized by a density, pursuant to ASTM C303, of at least 2.5 lbs/ft 3 ; and a facer disposed on a planar surface of said foam body, said facer including a glass substrate having an internal planar surface proximate to said foam body and an external planar surface opposite said foam body, a first coating disposed on said external surface, and a second coating disposed on or proximate to said internal surface, where said first coating disposed on said external surface includes an inert filler, and where said second coating disposed on or proximate to said internal surface includes intumescent material.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a coverboard according to aspects of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a coverboard according to aspects of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a roofing system according to aspects of the present invention.
- Embodiments of the invention are based, at least in part, on the discovery of high density polyisocyanurate coverboards that demonstrate improved flame resistance.
- the polyisocyanurate boards are substantially devoid of hydrocarbon blowing agents and carry a glass facer that includes an external coating including inert filler and an interfacial coating that includes intumescent filler.
- the facer also includes an intermediary layer including inert filler.
- the coverboards of the present invention have zero flame spread and zero smoke development when tested in accordance with ASTM E84.
- the coverboards of the present invention can be used to prepare roof systems over both combustible and non-combustible decks that meet the requirements of UL 790 without the use of gypsum-based construction boards. It is also contemplated that the coverboards of the present invention can achieve FM class 1 approvals for steel deck insulated roofs without the use of gypsum-based coverboards.
- FIG. 1 shows construction board 10 , which may also be referred to as coverboard 10 , recoverboard 10 , roof board 10 , fire-barrier board 10 , or simply board 10 .
- board 10 which is generally planar in configuration, includes foam body 12 , which may also be referred to as foam core 12 , and at least one facer 14 .
- board 10 also includes an opposed facer 14 ′.
- Facer 14 includes glass substrate 18 , 18 ′, external coating 16 , 16 ′, and interfacial coating 20 , 20 ′.
- External coating 16 , 16 ′ includes inert filler.
- Interfacial coating 20 , 20 ′ includes intumescent material 22 , 22 ′.

- coverboard 10 ′ likewise includes foam body 12 , facer 14 , and optional facer 14 ′.
- Facer 14 , 14 ′ include external coating 16 , 16 ′, and interfacial coating 20 , 20 ′.
- facer 14 , 14 ′ includes an additional coating layer 30 , 30 ′ disposed between glass substrate 18 , 18 ′ and interfacial coating 20 , 20 ′.
- additional coating layer 30 , 30 ′ which may be referred to as internal coating layer 30 , 30 ′, is compositionally the same or similar to external coating 16 , 16 ′.
- interfacial coating layer 30 , 30 ′ is not disposed on internal surface 19 of substrate 18 but is instead proximate thereto since it is disposed on coating 30 .
- foam layer 12 includes a rigid closed-cell foam structure.
- foam layer 12 may include a polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam.
- the closed-cell foam includes a plurality of cells and an interconnected network of solid struts or plates that form the edges and faces of the cells.
- the solid portion i.e., the interconnected network
- the solid portion of foam layer 12 i.e., the matrix
- additional frame or fire-resistant materials can be dispersed within the solid portion of foam layer 12 .
- the expandable graphite can be dispersed within the solid portion of foam layer 12 in combination with a non-halogenated flame retardant.
- foam layer 12 may be characterized by density that is greater than 2.5 pounds per cubic foot (12.2 kg/m 2 ), as determined according to ASTM C303, in other embodiments the density is greater than 2.8 pounds per cubic foot (13.7 kg/m 2 ), in other embodiments greater than 3.0 pounds per cubic foot (14.6 kg/m 2 ), and still in other embodiments greater than 3.5 pounds per cubic foot (17.1 kg/m 2 ).

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 62/501,802 filed on May 5, 2017, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- Embodiments of the present invention are directed toward composite high density polyisocyanurate cover boards that have improved fire properties due, at least in part, to the absence of a hydrocarbon blowing agent and the presence of a glass facer that includes an external coating including inert filler and an interfacial coating including intumescent material.
- Coverboards and recovery boards are often used in commercial roofing systems to provide roofs with fire barrier properties, protection from foot traffic, and protection from environmental forces such as hail. A commonly used coverboard is a fiberglass faced gypsum board, which is sold under the tradename DENSDECK. Notably, these boards have found wide acceptance because they are noncombustible, per ASTM E136, have been certified by UL for fire resistance under the 790 and 1256 classifications, meet FM class 1 approvals for metal decks, and meet ASTM E84 standards for flame and smoke. While fire resistant and dimensionally stable, these construction boards have appreciable weight and structure, which impacts transportation, movement on a job site, and overall ease of installation. There is a desire, therefore, for construction boards with similar fire resistance and dimensional stability that are lighter and more manageable (e.g., easier to cut).
- Polyisocyanurate coverboards are known. For example, U.S. Publication No. 2006/0179749 teaches high density polyisocyanurate construction boards for use as a coverboard or recover board. These boards may be characterized by having a density above 2.5 lbs/ft3 and an index of at least 175. These boards can include a hydrocarbon, such as a pentane isomer, as an insulating agent, which compounds also serve as blowing agents during the manufacture of the foam. These construction boards also carry facer materials such as cellulosic, glass, or foil facers. In order to provide these boards with fire resistance, a fire retardant, such as tri(monochloropropyl) phosphate is included within the foam forming materials, especially in the presence of flammable blowing agents such as pentane isomers.
- U.S. Publication No. 2010/0031603 is likewise directed toward high density polyisocyanurate construction boards that meet the requirements imposed by UL 790 for flame spread. These boards have a density of greater than 2.5 lbs/ft3, an iso index of at least 270, and a cellular body that includes at least 5.0 wt. % flame retardant.
- While polyisocyanurate coverboards and recover boards are widely used in the industry, they do not meet all of the standards, especially those related to flame resistance, that have been achieved by fiberglass faced gypsum board.
- One or more embodiments of the present invention provide a construction board comprising a foam body having first and second planar surfaces, said foam body including a polyisocyanurate foam matrix defining a plurality of closed cells, said closed cells being at least substantially devoid of hydrocarbon blowing agents, and said foam body being characterized by a density, pursuant to ASTM C303, of at least 2.5 lbs/ft3; and a facer disposed on a planar surface of said foam body, said facer including a glass substrate having an internal planar surface proximate to said foam body and an external planar surface opposite said foam body, a first coating disposed on said external surface, and a second coating disposed on or proximate to said internal surface, where said first coating disposed on said external surface includes an inert filler, and where said second coating disposed on or proximate to said internal surface includes intumescent material.
-
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a coverboard according to aspects of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a coverboard according to aspects of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a roofing system according to aspects of the present invention. - Embodiments of the invention are based, at least in part, on the discovery of high density polyisocyanurate coverboards that demonstrate improved flame resistance. In one or more embodiments, the polyisocyanurate boards are substantially devoid of hydrocarbon blowing agents and carry a glass facer that includes an external coating including inert filler and an interfacial coating that includes intumescent filler. In particular embodiments, the facer also includes an intermediary layer including inert filler. Advantageously, the coverboards of the present invention have zero flame spread and zero smoke development when tested in accordance with ASTM E84. While the high density polyisocyanurate boards contemplated in the prior art have increased flame resistance, owing in part to the high levels of flame retardant used within the boards, the prior art high density boards do not meet the requirements of a class 1 roof according to ASTM E84. Additionally, it is contemplated that the coverboards of the present invention can be used to prepare roof systems over both combustible and non-combustible decks that meet the requirements of UL 790 without the use of gypsum-based construction boards. It is also contemplated that the coverboards of the present invention can achieve FM class 1 approvals for steel deck insulated roofs without the use of gypsum-based coverboards.
- Construction boards according to embodiments of the present invention can be described with reference to
FIG. 1 , which showsconstruction board 10, which may also be referred to ascoverboard 10, recoverboard 10,roof board 10, fire-barrier board 10, or simplyboard 10. As shown,board 10, which is generally planar in configuration, includesfoam body 12, which may also be referred to asfoam core 12, and at least one facer 14. In one or more embodiments,board 10 also includes anopposed facer 14′. -

foam layer 12 includes a rigid closed-cell foam structure. In one or more embodiments,foam layer 12 may include a polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam. As the skilled person appreciates, the closed-cell foam includes a plurality of cells and an interconnected network of solid struts or plates that form the edges and faces of the cells. The solid portion (i.e., the interconnected network) is formed from the foam-forming material (e.g., the polyurethane or polyisocyanurate). The solid portion of foam layer 12 (i.e., the matrix) may include other constituents as is generally known in the art. As will be discussed in greater detail below, additional frame or fire-resistant materials can be dispersed within the solid portion offoam layer 12. Additionally, in one or more embodiments, the expandable graphite can be dispersed within the solid portion offoam layer 12 in combination with a non-halogenated flame retardant. - In one or more embodiments,
foam layer 12 may be characterized by density that is greater than 2.5 pounds per cubic foot (12.2 kg/m2), as determined according to ASTM C303, in other embodiments the density is greater than 2.8 pounds per cubic foot (13.7 kg/m2), in other embodiments greater than 3.0 pounds per cubic foot (14.6 kg/m2), and still in other embodiments greater than 3.5 pounds per cubic foot (17.1 kg/m2). In one or more embodiments, the density offoam layer 12 of the recovery boards may be less than 20 pounds per cubic foot (97.6 kg/m2), in other embodiments less than 10 pounds per cubic foot (48.8 kg/m2), in other embodiments less than 6 pounds per cubic foot (29.3 kg/m2), in other embodiments less than 5.9 pounds per cubic foot (28.8 kg/m2), in other embodiments less than 5.8 pounds per cubic foot (28.3 kg/m2), in other embodiments less than 5.7 pounds per cubic foot (27.8 kg/m2), in other embodiments less than 5.6 pounds per cubic foot (27.3 kg/m2), and still in other embodiments less than 5.5 pounds per cubic foot (26.9 kg/m2). Foam construction boards having a foam layer of similar nature are described in U.S. Publ. Nos. 2006/0179749 and 2010/0031603, which are incorporated herein by reference. - Where the density of
foam layer 12 is greater than 2.5 pounds per cubic foot, it may be advantageous forfoam layer 12 to be characterized by an ISO Index, as determined by PIR/PUR ratio as determined by IR spectroscopy using standard foams of known index (note that ratio of 3 PIR/PUR provides an ISO Index of 300) of at least 180, in other embodiments at least 200, in other embodiments at least 220, in other embodiments at least 270, in other embodiments at least 285, in other embodiments at least 300, in other embodiments at least 315, and in other embodiments at least 325.

- Generally speaking, the construction boards of the present invention can be prepared by using known techniques that are adapted in view of the teachings of this invention. In general, processes for the manufacture of polyurethane or polyisocyanurate insulation boards are known in the art as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,117,375, 6,044,604, 5,891,563, 5,573,092, U.S. Publication Nos. 2004/0109983, 2003/0082365, 2003/0153656, 2003/0032351, and 2002/0013379, as well as U.S. Ser. Nos. 10/640,895, 10/925,654, and 10/632,343, which are incorporated herein by reference.
- As the skilled person appreciates, foam may be produced by developing or forming polyurethane and/or polyisocyanurate foam in the presence of a blowing agent. The foam may be prepared by contacting an A-side stream of reagents with a B-side stream of reagents and depositing the mixture or developing foam onto a laminator carrying a facer, which may include one or more of the coating and/or fire-resistant layers described herein. The A-side stream may include an isocyanate compound and the B-side may include an isocyanate-reactive compound.
- As suggested above, the A-side stream includes an isocyanate. Suitable isocyanate-containing compounds useful for the manufacture of polyisocyanurate construction board are generally known in the art and embodiments of this invention are not limited by the selection of any particular isocyanate-containing compound. Useful isocyanate-containing compounds include polyisocyanates. Useful polyisocyanates include aromatic polyisocyanates such as diphenyl methane diisocyanate in the form of its 2,4′-, 2,2′-, and 4,4′-isomers and mixtures thereof. The mixtures of diphenyl methane diisocyanates (MDI) and oligomers thereof may be referred to as “crude” or polymeric MDI, and these polyisocyanates may have an isocyanate functionality of greater than 2. Other examples include toluene diisocyanate in the form of its 2,4′ and 2,6′-isomers and mixtures thereof, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, and 1,4′ diisocyanatobenzene. Exemplary polyisocyanate compounds include polymeric Rubinate 1850 (Huntsmen Polyurethanes), polymeric Lupranate M70R (BASF), and polymeric Mondur 489N (Bayer).
- As suggested above, the B-side stream includes an isocyanate-reactive compound, and may also include flame retardants, catalysts, emulsifiers/solubilizers, surfactants, blowing agents, fillers, fungicides, anti-static substances, water and other ingredients that are conventional in the art.
- An exemplary isocyanate-reactive component is a polyol. The term polyol, or polyol compound, includes diols, polyols, and glycols, which may contain water as generally known in the art. Primary and secondary amines are suitable, as are polyether polyols and polyester polyols. Useful polyester polyols include phthalic anhydride based PS-2352 (Stepen), phthalic anhydride based polyol PS-2412 (Stepen), teraphthalic based polyol 3522 (Invista), and a blended polyol TR 564 (Huntsman). Useful polyether polyols include those based on sucrose, glycerin, and toluene diamine. Examples of glycols include diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and ethylene glycol. Suitable primary and secondary amines include, without limitation, ethylene diamine, and diethanolamine. In one or more embodiments, a polyester polyol is employed. In one or more embodiments, the present invention may be practiced in the appreciable absence of any polyether polyol. In certain embodiments, the ingredients are devoid of polyether polyols.
- Catalysts are believed to initiate the polymerization reaction between the isocyanate and the polyol, as well as a trimerization reaction between free isocyanate groups when polyisocyanurate foam is desired. While some catalysts expedite both reactions, two or more catalysts may be employed to achieve both reactions. Useful catalysts include salts of alkali metals and carboxylic acids or phenols, such as, for example potassium octoate; mononuclear or polynuclear Mannich bases of condensable phenols, oxo-compounds, and secondary amines, which are optionally substituted with alkyl groups, aryl groups, or aralkyl groups; tertiary amines, such as pentamethyldiethylene triamine (PMDETA), 2,4,6-tris [(dimethylamino)methyl]phenol, triethyl amine, tributyl amine, N-methyl morpholine, and N-ethyl morpholine; basic nitrogen compounds, such as tetra alkyl ammonium hydroxides, alkali metal hydroxides, alkali metal phenolates, and alkali metal acholates; and organic metal compounds, such as tin(II)-salts of carboxylic acids, tin(IV)-compounds, and organo lead compounds, such as lead naphthenate and lead octoate.
- Surfactants, emulsifiers, and/or solubilizers may also be employed in the production of polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams in order to increase the compatibility of the blowing agents with the isocyanate and polyol components.
- Surfactants may serve two purposes. First, they may help to emulsify/solubilize all the components so that they react completely. Second, they may promote cell nucleation and cell stabilization. Exemplary surfactants include silicone co-polymers or organic polymers bonded to a silicone polymer. Although surfactants can serve both functions, a more cost effective method to ensure emulsification/solubilization may be to use enough emulsifiers/solubilizers to maintain emulsification/solubilization and a minimal amount of the surfactant to obtain good cell nucleation and cell stabilization. Examples of surfactants include Pelron surfactant 9920, Goldschmidt surfactant B8522, and GE 6912. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,686,499 and 5,837,742 are incorporated herein by reference to show various useful surfactants.
- Suitable emulsifiers/solubilizers include DABCO Ketene 20AS (Air Products), and Tergitol NP-9 (nonylphenol+9 moles ethylene oxide).
- Useful blowing agents include isopentane, n-pentane, cyclopentane, alkanes, (cyclo) alkanes, hydrofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, fluorocarbons, fluorinated ethers, alkenes, alkynes, carbon dioxide, hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and noble gases.
- Flame Retardants may be used in the production of polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams, especially when the foams contain flammable blowing agents such as pentane isomers. Useful flame retardants include tri(monochloropropyl) phosphate (a.k.a. tris (cloro-propyl) phosphate), tri-2-chloroethyl phosphate (a.k.a tris(chloro-ethyl) phosphate), phosphonic acid, methyl ester, dimethyl ester, and diethyl ester. U.S. Pat. No. 5,182,309 is incorporated herein by reference to show useful blowing agents.
- Exemplary non-halogenated solid flame retardants include magnesium hydroxide, aluminum trihydrate, zinc borate, ammonium polyphosphate, melamine polyphosphate, and antimony oxide (Sb2O3). Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is commercially available under the tradename Vertex™ 60, ammonium polyphosphate is commercially available under the tradename Exolite™ AP 760 (Clarian), melamine polyphosphate is available under the tradename Budit™ 3141 (Budenheim), and antimony oxide (Sb2O3) is commercially available under the tradename Fireshield™. Exemplary non-halogenated liquid flame retardants include triethylphosphate, such as that available under the tradename TEP (Lanxess). Exemplary reactive flame retardants include liquid reactive phosphates such as those available under the tradenames E06-16 (ICL) FYROL (ICL).
- The respective streams can be mixed within, for example, a mixhead to produce a reaction mixture. The mixture can then be deposited onto a facer that is positioned within and carried by a laminator. In accordance with the present invention, the mixture can be deposited onto a facer having opposed coating layers as described above (e.g., the external coating layer and the interfacial coating layer). Specifically, the foam mixture is deposited directly onto the planar surface of the facer carrying the interfacial coating layer.
- While in the laminator, the reaction mixture rises and can be married to a second facer to form a composite, which may also be referred to as a laminate, wherein the foam is sandwiched between upper and lower facers. Likewise, in accordance with this invention, the second facer may carry a pair of opposed coating layers. In one or more embodiments, the facer is mated with the rising foam so that the interfacial coating layer of the second facer contacts the rising foam.
- In one or more embodiments, the coating layers carried by the facer are applied to a glass mat substrate by applying a liquid coating composition by employing conventional coating techniques. For example, one or both coatings may be applied by gravure coating, reverse roll coating, slot die coating, immersion (dip) coating, knife coating, electrohydrodynamic spraying, and the like. In one or more embodiments, these liquid coating compositions (i.e., those forming 20, 20′) may include at least 0.5 wt. %, in other embodiments at least 1.0 wt. %, in other embodiments at least 3 wt. %, in other embodiments at least 5 wt. %, and in other embodiments at least 7 wt. % filler, based on the entire weight of the liquid composition. In these or other embodiments, these liquid coating compositions include at most 40 wt. %, in other embodiments at most 30 wt. %, in other embodiments at most 25 wt. %, in other embodiments at most 20 wt. %, and in other embodiments at most 15 wt. % filler, based on the entire weight of the liquid composition. In one or more embodiments, these liquid coating compositions include from about 0.5 to about 40, in other embodiments from about 1 to about 25, and in other embodiments from about 2 to about 20 wt. % filler, based upon the entire weight of the liquid composition.
- Similarly, the interfacial coating, which forms the interfacial layers, is applied to respective substrates in the form of a liquid coating composition that includes expandable graphite. As the skilled person will appreciate, this coating, including the expandable graphite, is applied to a planar surface of the substrate that is opposite the planar surface where the external coating may be applied. The coating composition forming interfacial layers may be applied by gravure coating, reverse roll coating, slot die coating, immersion (dip) coating, knife coating, electrohydrodynamic spraying, and the like. In one or more embodiments, these liquid coating compositions may include at least 0.5 wt. %, in other embodiments at least 1.0 wt. %, in other embodiments at least 3 wt. %, in other embodiments at least 5 wt. %, and in other embodiments at least 7 wt. % expandable graphite, based on the entire weight of the liquid composition. In these or other embodiments, these coating compositions include at most 40 wt. %, in other embodiments at most 30 wt. %, in other embodiments at most 25 wt. %, in other embodiments at most 20 wt. %, and in other embodiments at most 15 wt. % fire-resistant material (e.g., expandable graphite), based on the entire weight of the liquid composition. In one or more embodiments, these compositions include from about 0.5 to about 40, in other embodiments from about 1 to about 25, and in other embodiments from about 2 to about 20 wt. % expandable graphite, based upon the entire weight of the liquid composition.
- In one or more embodiments, the coating layers, as well as the penetrated coating material, allow for a relatively high degree of air permeability of the facer. In one or more embodiments, the coating layers are discontinuous or irregular (e.g., have an irregular thickness), and the penetrated coating may not fill all of the interstices of the mat, either of which may contribute to the relatively high degree of air permeability of the facer.
- In one or more embodiments, where the facer includes external and internal coating layers (e.g., layers 16 and 30), as well as interfacial coating layer (e.g., 20), derives from employing a double-coated glass mat, which is a glass mat that includes a coating material, including inert filler, applied to both planar surfaces of the glass mat. Any method suitable for applying a binding composition or coating to a glass fiber mat or impregnating a glass fiber mat with a binding composition or coating may be used to apply the first binding composition to the upper surface of the at least one glass fiber mat and the second binding composition to the lower surface of the at least one glass fiber mat. For example, the first and second binding composition can be applied by air spraying, dip coating, knife coating, roll coating, or film application such as lamination/heat pressing. The ability to produce coated facers is known as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,102,728, 5,112,678, and 7,138,346, which are incorporated herein by reference.
- In one or more embodiments, the double-coated facer is characterized by an air permeability, which may also be referred to as porosity, as determined by ARC-WT-006 (which correlates to TAPPI T460om-96), of less than 300, in other embodiments less than 250, in other embodiments less than 200, in other embodiments less than 150, in other embodiments less than 100, in other embodiments less than 70, in other embodiments less than 50, in other embodiments less than 40, and in other embodiments less than 30 Gurley seconds/300 cubic centimeters.
- In one or more embodiments, the double-coated facer is characterized by a coating weight of greater than 500, in other embodiments greater than 600, in other embodiments greater than 700, in other embodiments greater than 800, in other embodiments greater than 810, in other embodiments greater than 820, in other embodiments greater than 830, in other embodiments greater than 840, in other embodiments greater then 850, in other embodiments greater then 860, in other embodiments greater 870, in other embodiments greater 880, in other embodiments greater than 890, and in other embodiments greater than 900 grams per square meter. In one or more embodiments, the coating weight is less than 1000, in other embodiments less than 950, and in other embodiments less than 920 grams per square meter. As used herein, the term “coating weight” means the weight of the coating per area of the at least one glass fiber mat, which includes both coating layers as well as the penetrated coating material.
- The composite, while in laminator, or after removal from laminator, is exposed to heat that may be supplied by, for example, oven. For example, laminator may include an oven or hot air source that heats the slats and side plates of the laminator and there through transfers heat to the laminate (i.e., to the reaction mixture). Once subjected to this heat, the foam composite can undergo conventional finishing within a finishing station, which may include, but is not limited to, trimming and cutting.
- In one or more embodiments, the construction boards of this invention may be employed in roofing or wall applications. In particular embodiments, the construction boards are used in flat or low-slope roofing system.
- As shown in
FIG. 3 ,roofing system 30 includes aroof deck 32 havinginsulation board 34, which may be fabricated according to practice of this invention, disposed thereon. An optionalhigh density board 36, which may also be fabricated according to practice of this invention, positioned above, relative to the roof deck,insulation board 34. A water-protective layer ormembrane 38 is disposed on top or abovehigh density board 36. In alternate embodiments, not shown, optionalhigh density board 36 may be belowinsulation board 34 relative to the roof deck. - Practice of this invention is not limited by the selection of any particular roof deck. Accordingly, the roofing systems of this invention can include a variety of roof decks. Exemplary roof decks include concrete pads, steel decks, wood beams, and foamed concrete decks.
- Practice of this invention is likewise not limited by the selection of any water-protective layer or membrane. As is known in the art, several membranes can be employed to protect the roofing system from environmental exposure, particularly environmental moisture in the form of rain or snow. Useful protective membranes include polymeric membranes. Useful polymeric membranes include both thermoplastic and thermoset materials. For example, and as is known in the art, membrane prepared from poly(ethylene-co-propylene-co-diene) terpolymer rubber or poly(ethylene-co-propylene) copolymer rubber can be used. Roofing membranes made from these materials are well known in the art as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,632,509, 6,615,892, 5,700,538, 5703,154, 5,804,661, 5,854,327, 5,093,206, and 5,468,550, which are incorporated herein by reference. Other useful polymeric membranes include those made from various thermoplastic polymers or polymer composites. For example, thermoplastic olefin (i.e., TPO), thermoplastic vulcanizate (i.e., TPV), or polyvinylchloride (PVC) materials can be used. The use of these materials for roofing membranes is known in the art as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,502,360, 6,743,864, 6,543,199, 5,725,711, 5,516,829, 5,512,118, and 5,486,249, which are incorporated herein by reference. In one or more embodiments, the membranes include those defined by ASTM D4637-03 and/or ASTM D6878-03.
- Still in other embodiments, the protective membrane can include bituminous or asphalt membranes. In one embodiment, these asphalt membranes derive from asphalt sheeting that is applied to the roof. These asphalt roofing membranes are known in the art as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,579,921, 6,110,846, and 6,764,733, which are incorporated herein by reference. In other embodiments, the protective membrane can derive from the application of hot asphalt to the roof.
- Other layers or elements of the roofing systems are not excluded by the practice of this invention. For example, and as is known in the art, another layer of material can be applied on top of the protective membrane. Often these materials are applied to protect the protective membranes from exposure to electromagnetic radiation, particularly that radiation in the form of UV light. In certain instances, ballast material is applied over the protective membrane. In many instances, this ballast material simply includes aggregate in the form of rock, stone, or gravel; U.S. Pat. No. 6,487,830, is incorporated herein in this regard.
- The construction boards of this invention can be secured to a building structure by using various known techniques. For example, in one or more embodiments, the construction boards can be mechanically fastened to the building structure (e.g., the roof deck). In other embodiments, the construction boards can be adhesively secured to the building structure.
- Various modifications and alterations that do not depart from the scope and spirit of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art. This invention is not to be duly limited to the illustrative embodiments set forth herein.
