IPI elastic membrane... is a one-component, white or grey, high solids, brushable liquid, formulated as a high performance, electrometric, weather barrier coating that is designed for the permanent repair of leaks on roofs and waterproofing roof decks. IPI elastic membrane is a micro-porous film that prevents water from penetrating the film but allows trapped moisture to escape. This breathable, flexible polymeric membrane is designed for use with reinforcing fabric and provides the ultimate protection for roofs. Being liquid applied, it produces a seamless water barrier that fully adheres to the roof deck. 3, record 2, English, - polymeric%20liner

Aircraft fabric covering is a term used for both the material used and the process of covering aircraft open structures. It is also used for reinforcing closed plywood structures, the de Havilland Mosquito being an example of this technique. Early aircraft used organic materials such as cotton and cellulose dope, modern fabric covered designs usually use synthetic materials such as Nylon and butyrate dope for adhesive, this method is often used in the restoration of older types that were originally covered using traditional methods. 4, record 3, English, - covering
