Abstract
A coating for support beams in buildings to protect their structural integrity in case of high heat events, for roofs and the like to inexpensively provide protection from ultraviolet light, for wood or steel substrates to inexpensively provide flame or chemical resistance respectively, and for protection of various other building substrates. The coating comprises an adhesive and a recycled ceramic powder and may also comprise a recycled granular ceramic material. An additive to sealants, caulking, and other construction materials to inexpensively provide improved fire resistance and insulation and other enhanced properties. The additive comprises a recycled ceramic powder and may also comprise a recycled granular ceramic material.
Claims19
A method of imparting heat and impact resistance to a building comprising applying an adhesive to at least one floor-supporting beam for the building and dispersing ceramic material in the adhesive and thereafter allowing the adhesive to harden thereby retaining the ceramic material adhesively on a surface of the at least one beam.
A method of imparting ultraviolet light protection to a roof portion for a building, the method comprising applying an adhesive to roofing sheets for the roof portion and dispersing ceramic material in the adhesive and thereafter allowing the adhesive to harden thereby retaining the ceramic material adhesively on surfaces of the roofing sheets, wherein the step of dispersing the ceramic material in The adhesive includes dispersing ceramic powder in the adhesive in a sufficient quantity to provide complete coverage with the ceramic material of the roofing sheets.
A method of imparting heat and impact resistance to a building comprising applying an adhesive to at least one supporting beam for the building and dispersing ceramic material in the adhesive and thereafter allowing the adhesive to harden thereby retaining the ceramic material adhesively on a surface of the at least one supporting beam, wherein the step of dispersing the ceramic material in the adhesive includes dispersing ceramic powder in the adhesive in a sufficient quantity to provide complete coverage with the ceramic material of at least a portion of the at least one supporting beam to which the ceramic coating is applied.
A material used in construction, the material being one of a sealant, stucco, and caulking, the material including an additive comprising a quantity of ceramic material, wherein said ceramic material is made from used furnace lining.
A method of enhancing at least one of the properties of fire resistance, insulation value, and strength of a material used in construction comprising applying to the material a quantity of ceramic material which is made from used furnace lining.
