A method of manufacturing a honeycomb structured body, includes providing an application jig. A sealing material paste is put on a peripheral surface of a pillar-shaped ceramic block. The application jig is set in such a manner that a first principal surface of the application jig faces upward and a second principal surface of the application jig faces downward. The ceramic block is placed inside a second opening section of the application jig. The ceramic block is passed through an opening section of the application jig so that a face defining the second opening section spreads an entire peripheral surface of the ceramic block with the sealing material paste to manufacture a honeycomb structured body with a peripheral sealing material layer formed on the peripheral surface of the ceramic block. |

A method and apparatus to treat a dried unfired article comprising a ceramic precursor composition substantially held together by a binder, to be resistant to binder soluble solvent based processing. The method includes depositing a fluid on the article surface, and polymerizing the deposited fluid to form a polymer thin layer on the surface. The fluid may be an aerosol, a vapor, a fog, a mist, a smoke, or combinations thereof. An apparatus to perform the method and an article resistant to binder soluble solvent based processing are also provided. The article can be an unfired honeycomb body that includes a dried composition of ceramic precursor substantially held together by a binder and a layer disposed on a surface of the unfired honeycomb body. The surface to be exposed in the green state to a binder soluble solvent and the layer protects the binder from solubilization by the solvent. |

The method of making a terrazzo surface from recycled glass involves several steps. First, the substrate over which the terrazzo layer is formed is conditioned and primed. Second, an epoxy mixture is made by mixing crushed recycled glass, epoxy resin and epoxy primer. Third, the epoxy mixture is poured over the substrate to a height of ⅜″ nominally. Fourth, the mixture is troweled and allowed to cure and harden. Fifth, the surface is ground and polished to expose glass fragments near the surface. Grout is then applied to fill any air bubbles opened during the grinding process. Finally, the floor is polished and sealed. Decorative patterns and designs may also be formed in the terrazzo by attaching metal divider strips of different shapes to the substrate before pouring the epoxy mixture, and then using different colored mixtures to create patterns and/or designs in the surface. |

The present invention provides for an acoustically absorbent porous panel that is both rigid and resistant to sagging caused by moisture. The acoustically absorbent porous panel is comprised of at least two layers. The first layer is a facing layer formed from a cured aqueous foamed cementitious material. The foamed cementitious material comprises on a wet basis about 53% to about 68% by weight cement, about 17% to about 48% by weight water, about 0.05% to about 5% by weight fiber, and about 0.01% to about 10% by weight surfactant. Additionally, pores distributed within the cured material comprising about 75% to about 95% by volume of the material. The second layer is a backing layer that is affixed to the facing layer. |

The invention relates to hollow balls having shells comprising a sintered inorganic material, such as metals, metal oxides or ceramic, and to methods for producing lightweight structural components using such hollow balls. According to the object of the invention, the application area is to be widened, processing to form structural components is to be made technologically simpler and the properties of the hollow balls and of the structural components produced therewith are to be improved for specific applications. For this purpose, an additional solid functional layer is formed on a shell on the hollow balls. The functional-layer material can then be made able to flow and plastically and/or elastically deformed as a result of a physical and/or chemical treatment. |

A precast concrete plate, such as a roof tile, floor tile, wall tile or house siding, comprises in total from about 0.2% to about 5% by weight of a polymeric modifier having a Tg of above null40null C. The portion of said concrete which comprises no more than about 50% of the thickness of all the concrete which forms the plate, when measured from the bottom surface of the plate towards the top surface of the plate, includes at least about 60% by weight of said polymeric modifier. The plates have a relatively higher degree of resistance to flexural loadings and resistance to impact-impulse loadings in comparison to concrete plates which comprise no polymeric modifier, thus rendering them less likely to be broken or fractured during their storage, transfer and assembly. |

Compositions, methods, and systems for manufacturing articles, particularly containers and packaging materials, having a highly inorganically filled matrix. Suitable inorganically filled mixtures are prepared by mixing together an organic polymer binder, water, one or more aggregate materials, fibers, and optional admixtures in the correct proportions in order to form an article which has the desired performance criteria. The inorganically filled mixtures are molded to fashion a portion of the mixture into a form stable shape for the desired article. Once the article has obtained form stability, such as by heating to remove water by evaporation, the article is removed from the mold and allowed to harden to gain strength. The articles may have properties substantially similar to articles presently made from traditional materials like paper, paperboard, polystyrene, plastic, or metal. They have especial utility in the mass production of containers, particularly food and beverage containers. |

Methods and systems for readily and economically manufacturing hydraulically settable articles, particularly containers, from microstructurally engineered hydraulically settable mixtures wherein the mixture is extruded into a sheet that is feed through a plurality of sets of rollers so as to form the sheet into the desired thickness. The sheet is then pressed between a male die of a desired shape and a female die having a substantially complimentary configuration of the male die shape to immediately fashion a portion of the sheet into a form stable shape for the desired article. To assist in imparting form stability, the dies can be heated or cooled. Once the article has obtained form stability, the article is removed from the dies and dried under heated air to gain strength. The article can then be cut from the sheet and receive printing or a coating, if desired, prior to packaging, shipping, and use. |

Sealable liquid-tight containers and methods for economically manufacturing such containers for storing and dispensing substances and any other purposes for which conventional sealable liquid-tight containers are utilized. The containers are readily and economically formed from mixtures of hydraulically settable binders such as hydraulic cement, gypsum and clay with water. Appropriate additives can also be added to the mixture which impart desired characteristics and properties to both the mixture and the hardened containers. The mixtures can be utilized to form containers by various methods. One method involves forming the containers without substantial mixing of the mixture, compacting the mixture and hydrating the mixture. Other methods involve molding the mixture, extruding the mixture and forming sheets from the mixture to be converted into containers. The components may also be dried, coated, lined, laminated and/or receive printing. |
