| 6910796 | Process and equipment for producing concrete products having blended colors A process and equipment for producing multi-color concrete products, including architectural concrete blocks, concrete bricks, modular concrete products that are suitable for use in landscaping applications, such as retaining wall blocks, concrete pavers, and concre... | 06/28/2005 |
| 6773643 | Continuous method for formation of three dimensional burls in a solid surface material A series of three-dimensional burls are formed in a filled-acrylic solid surface material by curing partially mixed steams of acrylic resin casting compositions with defined parameters of viscosity, density and surface tension. ... | 08/10/2004 |
| 6709552 | Papermaking belt In a one-surface coated papermaking belt composed of a base layer and a thick resin layer, or a covered, one-surface coated papermaking belt composed of thin and thick resin layers on opposite sides of a base layer, curling of the edges of the belt due to the shrink... | 03/23/2004 |
| 5509989 | Method for producing decorative laminate finishes A method for the production of a decorative laminate finish is disclosed. A relatively minor amount of lacquer colorant is applied to the surface of an aqueous bath. After partially drying the colorant to a flexible film, a substrate is contacted with the... | 04/23/1996 |
| 5348767 | Methods for production of faux effects using select color mixtures and blending solvents Faux finishes are produced without need for artistic manipulations of coating materials by applying a layer of one or more unique color mixtures to a substrate surface and, while the layer is still wet, applying thereto scattered portions of one or more s... | 09/20/1994 |
| 5342670 | Process for simulating a chaotic pattern on a surface by applying to the surface a nonuniform multilayered coating A process for simulating the appearance of marble in an array of colors on a smooth paintable surface at room temperature by preparing the surface to receive paint, applying a base coat of black lacquer paint, applying a coat of iridescent paint, applying... | 08/30/1994 |
| 5122395 | Methods for the production of faux finishes Imitation marble or like faux finishes are produced without need for artistic manipulations of coating materials, by applying random portions of one or more different aqueous colorant mixtures to the color absorbent surface of a substrate, while such rand... | 06/16/1992 |
| 5034084 | Method for obtaining marbleized coatings on sheet-like materials and synthetic resin-containing support sheets suitable for this purpose A method for the decorative coating of sheet-like materials, particularly laminated plastics and wood-derived panels is disclosed to achieve a marbled decor effect by pressing a support sheet, impregnated with a curable aminoplast resin and coateed with a... | 07/23/1991 |
| 4975303 | Simulated marble A process for covering a substrate with a textured simulated marble surface and the resulting product. Cement and sand are mixed to form a first mixture to which is added an aqueous solution of an adhesive resin such as an acrylic resin to create a mortar... | 12/04/1990 |
| 4959250 | Simulated marble A process for covering a substrate with a textured simulated marble surface and the resulting product. In the process, cement and sand are mixed to form a first mixture to which is added an aqueous solution of an adhesive resin such as an acrylic resin to... | 09/25/1990 |
| 4868018 | Artifical marble Hard, durable, water-resistant simulated marble products are made by coating a support surface with a mixture of epoxy resin, epoxy resin hardener, pigment and a powdered material such as portland cement, powdered clay, a mix of portlant cement and lime, ... | 09/19/1989 |
| 4859504 | Concrete finishing process A cementitious slab first has generally straight intersecting lines drawn thereon and the surface of the slab is thereafter cut in order to form narrow shallow grooves therein extending along the previously drawn lines. The entire upper surface of the sla... | 08/22/1989 |
| 4721634 | Simulated marble A process for covering a substrate with a textured simulated marble surface by mixing cement and sand to form a first mixture to which is added an aqueous solution of acrylic resin to create a first mortar. The cement and sand are mixed to form a second m... | 01/26/1988 |
| 4673596 | Process for producing decorative sheet In the production of a decorative sheet, a synthetic resin paste is first applied onto the upper surface of a substrate sheet to form an undercoat layer. Then, one or more pastes, each being of the same material and having approximately the same viscosity... | 06/16/1987 |
