  2. Epoxy moisture control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy_moisture_control_system

    Epoxy moisture control systems are chemical barriers that are used to prevent moisture damage to flooring. Excessive moisture vapor emissions in concrete slabs can mean significant, expensive damage to a flooring installation. Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually just in the United States to correct moisture-related problems in ...

  3. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_vapor...

    In the USA, g/100in 2 /day is also in use, which is 0.064516 (approximately 1/15) of the value of g/m 2 /day units. Typical rates in aluminium foil laminates may be as low as 0.001 g/m 2 /day, whereas the rate in fabrics can measure up to several thousand g/m 2 /day. [citation needed] Often, barrier testing is conducted on a sheet of material.

  4. Polyvinyl acetate - Wikipedia

    As envelope adhesive. As wallpaper adhesive. As a primer for drywall and other substrates. As a gum base in chewing gum. [8] As a water-soluble support material for 3D printing, usually for the fused filament fabrication method. [9] As an adhesive for cigarette paper. [10] As the coating layer on Gouda cheese. [11]

  5. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    A vapor barrier on the warm side of the envelope must be combined with a venting path on the cold side of the insulation. This is because no vapor barrier is perfect, and because water may get into the structure, typically from rain. In general, the better the vapor barrier and the drier the conditions, the less venting is required. [7]

  6. Epoxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy

    A related class is cycloaliphatic epoxy resin, which contains one or more cycloaliphatic rings in the molecule (e.g. 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl-3,4-epoxycyclohexane carboxylate). This class also displays lower viscosity at room temperature, but offers significantly higher temperature resistance than the aliphatic epoxy diluents.

  7. Wood glue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_glue

    Wood glue is an adhesive used to tightly bond pieces of wood together. Many substances have been used as glues. Many substances have been used as glues. Traditionally animal proteins like casein from milk or collagen from animal hides and bones were boiled down to make early glues.

  8. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

    Walls also have vapor barriers or air barriers. Damp proofing is another aspect of waterproofing. Masonry walls are built with a damp-proof course to prevent rising damp , and the concrete in foundations needs to be damp-proofed or waterproofed with a liquid coating, basement waterproofing membrane (even under the concrete slab floor where ...

  9. Cyanoacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate

    The compound ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is available as Epiglu. [14] The ester substituent has several effects upon the biocompatibility of the adhesive. Longer side chains result in higher flexibility of the cured adhesive allowing a better match for the flexibility of skin, and can result in a slower release of formaldehyde after curing. [15]
