The polymer mortars with SF were tested by Ohama et al. (1989) in view of their application for industrial floors, decorative coatings and repair of concrete structures. The results were interesting and have shown different influence of SF, that is, an increase of compressive strength and resistance to water permeation and penetration of chloride ions, but no improvements have been observed of resistance to water absorption, carbonation and drying shrinkage. Also, adhesion of the composite to covered concrete surfaces was not increased. 

Particle board and wood chip products have evolved from efforts to make profitable use of the large volumes of sawdust generated aimually. These products are used for floor undedayment and decorative laminates. Most particle board had been produced with urea—formaldehyde adhesive for interior use resin demand per board is high due to the high surface area requiring bonding. Nevertheless, substantial quantities of phenol—formaldehyde-bonded particle board are produced for water-resistant and low formaldehyde appHcations. 

Hardness is increased appreciably. Wood-polymer composites are currently used in certain sporting equipment, musical instmments, decorative objects, and high performance flooring. 

Several coats of resin are applied to the prepared substrate at approximately 4- to 6-hour intervals, with one or more coats being dressed with colored paint flakes which are sealed in by the next coat and then lightly sanded. This type of flooring was widely marketed about ten years ago but, in the main, they were considered unsatisfactory due to rapid discoloration of the floor because of the lack of ultraviolet stability of the urethane resins used, which rapidly turned yellow-brown and looked dirty. However, ultraviolet-stable urethane resins that do not suffer this discoloration are now available, and this type of durable decorative flooring is gaining re-acceptance (for example, for kitchens, toilets and reception areas). 

Colors in a laboratory should be coordinated, just as in a home. If pre-finished work benches are to be installed, they might set the color scheme. While they are available in several colors or combination of colors, the choice is not unlimited. In one case, the laboratory operator was color blind, so his wife took over the job as decorator. First, she selected a two-color scheme for the work benches. Color chips in hand, she then chose a floor covering from a number of samples submitted. For the wall paint, she found a standard color of the recommended quality that harmonized with the cabinets. A few appropriate charts and a colorful cloth wall-hanging of pipes and valves completed the decor. The result received many favorable comments from visitors to the facility. 

These are used to produce prepackaged products such as decorative wall coatings, ceramic tile adhesives, selfleveling floor overlays and patching mortars for concrete structures. On site, addition of the product manufacturers specified amount of water produces a material with the... 

Uses. The most important areas of use of pigments are paints, varnishes, plastics, artists colors, printing inks for paper and textiles, leather decoration, building materials (cement, renderings, concrete bricks and tiles—mostly based on iron oxide and chromium oxide pigments), leather imitates, floor coverings, rubber, paper, cosmetics, ceramic glazes, and enamels. 

Several possible applications of concrete-polymer material includes sewer and pressure pipe, building material for housing, underwater structures, railroad ties, and chemically resistant material of construction for large desalination plants. The incorporation of colored dyes with the monomer allows concrete-polymer material to be considered for various esthetic applications, such as in decorative wall and floor tile. 

Our houses are built of wood (cellulose and lignin), sheathed with particleboard (wood chips pressed with plastic resin), wrapped with plastic sheeting, clad with siding (vinyl), and decorated with plastic shutters. Buildings with wood siding are covered with paint. Inside, water flows through plastic pipes, the floors are covered with tiles (vinyl) or carpeting (polyester, nylon), the walls are covered with wallpaper (vinyl) or painted (acrylics), and the... 

Straw from a wide variety of plants, not just those that produce cereal grains, is commonly used in many cultures to make woven items such as mats, hats, floor covering, and baskets. Straw decorations are often placed on thatched roofs. These rick ornaments are usually in the form of animals, made of straw that has been bunched and tied into shape. They may be just for decoration, or they may identify the thatcher who made the roof.
