English

Subject field(s)
  • Roofs (Building Elements)
  • Waterproofing (Construction)
CONT

Most vinyl roofing membranes are sealed using hot air, which can be compared to welding metal. The process joins two rolls of membranes at the overlap areas (without using another dissimilar material) to create one monolithic layer that covers the entire roof. The heat-welded, permanently fused seams on vinyl roofing membrane form a watertight seal, and their peel strength can be critical to the roof system’s long-term performance against wind forces.

CONT

ROOF technology allows old roof membrane to be renewed without removal. ROOF technology is based upon a thermochemical treatment of bitumen roof coating. With heat applied to a section of roof coating bitumen and bituminiferous mastics start melting. Imbued with own bitumen, roof coating gains improved waterproofing capabilities. Once cooled such coating becomes a tough monolithic layer, smooth and watertight.

CONT

Hot-applied rubberized asphalts consist of proprietary blends of asphalt, mineral fillers, elastomers(natural, synthetic, or a blend of both), virgin or reclaimed oil and a thermoplastic resin. It is applied hot in such a manner as to form an impermeable monolithic membrane over the surface to be waterproofed, which may be concrete, gypsum board or wood. Improved versions of this type of system consist of two coats of rubberized asphalt with a polyester mat in between, called the fully reinforced or two-ply system.

OBS

monolithic layer: term officially approved by the Lexicon Project Committee (New Brunswick).

Domaine(s)

CONT

Les bitumes caoutchoutés sont constitués de mélanges particuliers de bitume, de fillers minéraux, d'élastomères (naturels, synthétiques ou un mélange des deux), d'huile vierge ou recyclée et d'une résine thermoplastique. Le produit est appliqué à chaud de manière à former une membrane monolithique imperméable au-dessus de la surface à hydrofuger, qui peut être en bêton, en plaques de plâtre ou en bois. Des versions améliorées de ce type de membrane sont composées de deux couches de bitume caoutchouté et d'un mat de polyester intercalaire; ces membranes sont dites «entièrement armées» ou «à deux épaisseurs».

OBS

couche monolithique : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).

This standard describes the procedure recommended for application of coal tar primer covered by CGSB standard 37-GP-32M the following uses : a. to prime new concrete, gypsum, steel or wood roof decks prior to application of thermal insulation and/or coal tar pitch built-up roofing; b. to treat weathered surfaces of coal tar roofing prior to either recovering with a new coal tar roofing sheet or recoating with an emulsified coal tar pitch;...

CONT

Fortress Tar primer is a precise blend of refined tars and solvents designed to penetrate porous surfaces, assure adhesion to metal surfaces and create a bondable surface over existing built up roofs.

OBS

primer: A thin liquid compound applied to a surface to improve the adhesion of a thicker liquid compound.

  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
  • Oil Drilling
DEF

A metallic sulfonate salt made from the lignin of sulfite pulp-mill liquors which appears under the form of a nonhygroscopic, light-tan to dark-brown powder with no pronounced odor, is stable in dry form and relatively stable in aqueous solution, forms colloidal solutions or dispersions in water, is practically insoluble in all organic solvents, and is used as a dispersing agent in concrete and carbon black-rubber mixes, as an extender for tanning agents, in oil-well drilling mud additives to minimize fluid loss and to reduce the viscosity of the mud, in ore flotation agents, and in the production of vanillin, industrial cleaners, gypsum slurried, dyestuffs and pesticide formulations.

DEF

Sel métallique de sulfonate dérivé de la pâte au sulfite se présentant sous la forme d'une poudre d'un brun roux pâle à brun foncé, non hygroscopique, pratiquement inodore, que l'on utilise comme agent dispersant pour le béton et l'industrie du caoutchouc, comme matière de charge dans les produits tannants, comme additif pour les fluides de forage pétrolier (comme réducteur de viscosité et parfois comme réducteur de filtrat), dans les réactifs de flottation des minerais, dans la production de vanilline, les produits de nettoyage industriels, les pâtes de plâtre, les colorants et les formulations de pesticides.

When the roof is flat, the material used to form the inner layer is usually referred to as decking. If it is sloped, the inner skin material is called the roof sheathing. Roof decks or sheathing may be boards, plywood, concrete, steel, gypsum, rigid insulation boards, strawboard, or tile....
