Protect-A-Bed is the developer of Miracle Membrane®, a proprietary membrane, which is waterproof and protects against liquids, as well as the patented BugLock® with SecureSeal® and three-sided zipper system for encasements.
One of the leading causes of waterproof deck system failures is the movement of underlying substrates (plywood) that cause too much stress on the membranes resulting in a failure of the system. While beyond the scope of this reference document, waterproofing of decks and balconies is a complex of many complimentary elements.
Colored EPDM granules are mixed with polyurethane binders and troweled or sprayed onto concrete, asphalt, screenings, interlocking brick, wood, etc., to create a non-slip, soft, porous safety surface for wet-deck areas such as pool decks. [17] It is used as safety surfacing under playground play equipment (designed to help lessen fall injury).
This means a roof coating actually becomes the top layer of a composite roof membrane and underlying system. As such, the roof coating is the topmost layer of protection for the membrane, receiving the impact of sunlight (both infrared and ultraviolet (UV)), rain, hail and physical damage. Roof Coatings should not be confused with deck coatings.
A geomembrane is very low permeability synthetic membrane liner or barrier used with any geotechnical engineering related material so as to control fluid (liquid or gas) migration in a human-made project, structure, or system.
Asphalt or coal tar pitch, typically hot-applied to concrete roof decks along with reinforcement felts. Polyethylene plastic sheet, 4 or 6 thou (0.10 or 0.15 mm), 0.03 US perm (1.7 SI perm). Advanced Polyethylene vapor retarders that pass the ASTM E 1745 standard tests ≤0.3 US perm (17 SI perm).
Research into arching or compressive membrane action has continued over the years at Queen's University Belfast, with the work of Niblock, [26] [27] who investigated the effects of CMA in uniformly loaded laterally restrained slabs; Skates, [28] who researched CMA in cellular concrete structures; Ruddle, [29] [30] who researched arching action ...
A zeolite membrane is a synthetic membrane made of crystalline aluminosilicate materials, typically aluminum, silicon, and oxygen with positive counterions such as Na + and Ca 2+ within the structure. Zeolite membranes serve as a low energy separation method.
