Abstract
A composite structure is disclosed, wherein the structure includes an interior substrate or facing, a layer of rigid insulation, and an exterior facing or cementitious layer, with an adhesive adhering such insulation at least to the interior substrate or facing, with an exterior waterproofing layer of the dried residue of a latex polymer-coating composition being adhered to the exterior of the composite structure or panel. The waterproofing coating layer contains a film-forming polymer which is an acrylic polymer or a vinyl polymer, and has a Mar Elasticity Value of at least 1. The composite structure or insulating structural panel of the present invention may be used as the wall or the roof of a building.
Claims14
An insulating structural panel suitable for use as an exterior wall or roof of a building, said panel comprising an interior facing at least 1/16 inch thick, a layer of rigid insulation at least one inch thick adhered to said interior facing, an exterior facing at least 1/16 inch thick adhered to the surface of said insulation opposite said interior facing, and a waterproofing coating of the dried residue of a latex polymer-rich coating composition having a pigment volume concentration less than 10 adhered to the exterior side of said exterior facing, said coating being not less than 2-4 mils thick and containing at least 80% by weight of a film-forming polymer selected from the group consisting of acrylic polymers and vinyl polymers and having a Mar Elasticity Value of at least 1, and a dry and wet adhesion to maintain adhesion to said exterior facing under normal atmospheric conditions.
A composite structure comprising:
- (a) an interior substrate;
- (b) a layer of rigid insulation having an insulating ability at least equal to one inch of rigid urethane form;
- (c) an adhesive layer bonding said insulation to said substrate;
- (d) a layer at least one-sixteenth inch thick of cementitious material adhered to said insulation;
- and
- (e) an exterior layer not less than 2-4 mils thick of the dried residue of a polymer-rich latex coating composition on the surface of said cementitious layer away from said insulation layer, said exterior layer containing at least 80% by weight of a film-forming polymer selected from the group consisting of acrylic polymers and vinyl polymers and having a Mar Elasticity Value of at least 1 and a dry and wet adhesion to maintain the adhesion of said layer to said cementitious material under normal atmospheric conditions.
