Issued: March 7, 2006
Inventor: Stephen G. Kovacs
Assigned: Roof Matrix
Key statement: Upon application, the cartier solvent/reactant evaporates, allowing polymerization polymerization
Any process in which monomers combine chemically to produce a polymer. The monomer molecules—which in the polymer usually number from at least 100 to many thousands—may or may not all be the same. of the remaining solution constituents to form a non-toxic, hydrophobic hydrophobic /hy·dro·pho·bic/ (-fo´bik)
1. pertaining to hydrophobia (rabies).
2. not readily absorbing water, or being adversely affected by water.
3. , elastomeric polyurethane linked copolymer copolymer: see polymer. that provides a long-term barrier against rot, environmental, termite and mold/fungus attack.
