  2. Filler (materials) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filler_(materials)

    Plastic consumption uses by field. Filler materials are particles added to resin or binders (plastics, composites, concrete) that can improve specific properties, make the product cheaper, or a mixture of both. [1] The two largest segments for filler material use is elastomers and plastics. [2]

  3. Resin-bound paving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin-bound_paving

    This may also mitigate the need for planning permission when installing a resin driveway, depending on jurisdiction, as they are permeable. Resin-bound systems incorporating 6-10mm dried aggregates and larger sizes are generally used as tree surrounds known as tree pits. These are a cost-effective and practical alternative to metal tree grilles ...

  4. Permeable paving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeable_paving

    Some estimates put the cost of permeable paving at about one third more expensive than that of conventional impervious paving. [20] Using permeable paving, however, can reduce the cost of providing larger or more stormwater BMPs on site, and these savings should be factored into any cost analysis. In addition, the off-site environmental impact ...

  5. Acrylonitrile styrene acrylate - Wikipedia

    The ASA mixtures have excellent rutting resistance and moisture damage resistance. The tensile strength ratio of the ASA and asphalt mixture are all larger than 0.8 and therefore satisfy the Superpave specification. The average coefficient of permeability of the ASA mixture is 6–10 times higher than the asphalt mixture in the same air void level.

  6. Noryl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noryl

    The NORYL family of modified resins consists of amorphous blends of polyphenylene oxides (PPO) or polyphenylene ether (PPE) resins with polystyrene.They combine the inherent benefits of PPE resin (affordable high heat resistance, good electrical insulation properties, excellent hydrolytic stability and the ability to use non-halogen fire retardant packages), with excellent dimensional ...

    Cheaper than slate or tiles. The reduced cost of this particular style of roofing is especially apparent in its application and removal. Installation is very streamlined and a rapid process. Depending on the size of the roof and the experience of the crew, it is possible to remove old shingles and apply new ones on 2-3 houses in one day.

    The man confessed that he knew better than to leave a dirty cup in a common area, but it had slipped his mind. He said he regretted having lied about it when caught. Hamm went in for the kill. He turned to the whiteboard where another addict was recording all the group’s concerns, listing the proposed punishments in increasingly crowded columns.

  9. Sustainable drainage system - Wikipedia

    A green roof lasts twice as long as a regular roof, and low maintenance costs of permeable pavement can make for a good long-term investment. [56] The Iowa town of West Union determined it could save $2.5 million over the lifespan of a single parking lot by using permeable pavement instead of traditional asphalt. [ 57 ]
