Adhesive is versatile
Johns Manville has launched JM QuickFoam® Adhesive, a two-part, low-rise polyurethane foam adhesive for attaching fleece-backed single-ply membranes to insulation boards, insulation boards to each other or direct to a roof deck.
JM QuickFoam Adhesive reportedly remains flexible once cured, providing impact absorption. It also is compatible with several applications: base sheets, cementitious wood fiber plank, concrete, gypsum, polyisocyanurate, high-density polyisocyanurate, high-density wood fiber, perlite, treated plywood and some existing smooth-surfaced asphalt.
The adhesive is available in cartridges and 15- and 50-gallon drums.
AI glasses use voice activation
Zuper has released Zuper Glass, artificial intelligence-powered smart glasses designed for the skilled trades.
Integrated with the Zuper mobile app, the glasses feature voice-activated control to capture photos, record videos and take notes; AI-powered intelligence that transcribes what is seen and said into structured data; real-time syncing to keep back-office teams aligned with live job visibility; high-resolution optics and advanced noise reduction; and dust, rain and heat resistance.
Snow-retention system reduces on-site labor
Drexel Metals has made available the S-5! ColorGard 2.0 System, a snow-retention solution designed to minimize the risk of rooftop avalanches while maintaining the clean lines of metal roofs.
The system reportedly eliminates the need for preassembly and reduces on-site labor, and its VersaClip™ 2.0 installs directly over splices, eliminating the need for in-field cutting.
Mastic has compatibility
Inland Coatings has introduced RC-2500 medium-grade fiber-reinforced SEBS mastic that can be trowel- or brush-applied to roofing seams, flashings and penetrations.
Available in white and packaged in 1-, 3- and 5-gallon metal pails, the mastic can be used on aged Hypalon, aged TPO, built-up roofs (asphalt), concrete, EPDM membrane, metal, polymer-modified bitumen and spray polyurethane foam roofing.
Glasses are customizable
Brass Knuckle® has made available its Brass Knuckle Spike™ glasses, featuring BK-Anti-Fog+ and ultraviolet 6 protection.
BK-Anti-Fog+ is an anti-fog layer that resists breakdown from heat, humidity or repeated cleaning. UV 6 protection shields against UVA and UVB rays to help prevent eye damage. The glasses also are customizable with a five-step, angle-adjustable temple; reinforced-rubber nosepiece; integrated soft brow guard; and flexible rubber temple tips.
