On September 12th, Josh Rinn, Brett Kilgore, and John Silva conducted a training on installation of Tremco's Air Barrier systems for our employees here at BPI-DFW. All three did a bang up job in going over how all the components tie together to make up said system. Tremco Commercial Sealants & Waterproofing is a valuable partner to Builders Products, Inc. and we greatly appreciate all of their support.

Attention BPI-DFW patrons. Please take note of the following holiday closure:

In the middle of August, Jonathan Storie came by and did an in class product training over the portfolio of Polyguard's below grade products. Jonathan did a fantastic job showcasing all the unique applications and tips on installation as well as the accessories that accompany said products. Polyguard Products, Inc. is a valuable partner to Builders Products, Inc. and we greatly appreciate all of their support.

Did you know? In organic chemistry, ethers are a class of compounds that contain an ether group—an oxygen atom bonded to two organyl groups (e.g., alkyl or aryl). They have the general formula R?O?R′, where R and R′ represent the organyl groups. Ethers can again be classified into two varieties: if the organyl groups are the same on both sides of the oxygen atom, then it is a simple or symmetrical ether, whereas if they are different, the ethers are called mixed or unsymmetrical ethers. A typical example of the first group is the solvent and anaestheticdiethyl ether, commonly referred to simply as "ether" (CH3?CH2?O?CH2?CH3). Ethers are common in organic chemistry and even more prevalent in biochemistry, as they are common linkages in carbohydrates and lignin. Polyethers are generally polymers containing ether linkages in their main chain. The term polyol generally refers to polyether polyols with one or more functional end-groups such as a hydroxyl group. The term "oxide" or other terms are used for high molar mass polymer when end-groups no longer affect polymer properties. Builders Products, Inc. stocks all sorts of great solutions for your waterproofing needs that utilizes Polyethers as a key component such as: VaproShield LLC Henry, a Carlisle Company Polyguard Products, Inc. Titebond So next time you have a project that you might think Polyethers would be a good fit. Give us a call and we would be more than happy to discuss!

Yesterday (10/01/24) we were invited to attend a lunch and learn conducted by the Henry, a Carlisle Company at WJE's office in Irving, TX. We were very honored to receive the invite and to say that Matthew Joseph Dealy, CDT, Armin Michelsen, CSI, CDT, and JON HAMMAN did a great job would be an understatement. Again, thank you all for the invite.

Back in August, we were lucky enough to have Wm. Steven Holley come in and conduct a training over some key products offer by Adhesives Technology Corp. Steven did a great job with hands on training as well as a class room demonstration. Adhesives Technology Corp. is a valuable partner to Builders Products, Inc. and we greatly appreciate all of their support.

Did you know? Latex is an emulsion (stable dispersion) of polymer microparticles in water. Latices are found in nature, but synthetic latices are common as well. In nature, latex is found as a milky fluid, which is present in 10% of all flowering plants (angiosperms). It is a complex emulsion that coagulates on exposure to air, consisting of proteins, alkaloids, starches, sugars, oils, tannins, resins, and gums. It is usually exuded after tissue injury. In most plants, latex is white, but some have yellow, orange, or scarlet latex. Since the 17th century, latex has been used as a term for the fluid substance in plants, deriving from the Latin word for "liquid". It serves mainly as defense against herbivorous insects. Latex is not to be confused with plant sap; it is a distinct substance, separately produced, and with different functions. The word latex is also used to refer to natural latex rubber, particularly non-vulcanized rubber. Such is the case in products like latex gloves, latex sealants, latex clothing, and balloons. Builders Products, Inc. stocks all sorts of great solutions for your waterproofing needs that utilizes latex as a key component such as: Titebond Glues Tremco Commercial Sealants & Waterproofing Henry, a Carlisle Company Sika USA Specified Technologies, Inc. - STI Firestop Velosit UK LTD So next time you have a project that you might think latex would be a good fit.

Last month, we hosted a training conducted by Joanne Roach and Cristal Green covering a few key products/systems offered by AVM Industries Inc. Both presenters did a great job with hands on training as well as a class room demonstration. AVM is a valuable partner to Builders Products, Inc. and we greatly appreciate all of their support.

Attention BPI-DFW patrons. Please take note of the following holiday closure:

Did you know? In organosilicon chemistry, a siloxane is an organic compound containing a functional group of two silicon atoms bound to an oxygen atom: Si?O?Si. The parent siloxanes include the oligomeric and polymerichydrides with the formulae H[OSiH2]nOH and [OSiH2]n. Siloxanes also include branched compounds, the defining feature of which is that each pair of silicon centres is separated by one oxygen atom. The siloxane functional group forms the backbone of silicones[?R2Si?O?SiR2?]n, the premier example of which is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The functional group R3SiO? (where the three Rs may be different) is called siloxy. Siloxanes are manmade and have many commercial and industrial applications because of the compounds’ hydrophobicity, low thermal conductivity, and high flexibility. Builders Products, Inc. stocks all sorts of great solutions for your waterproofing needs that utilizes siloxane as a key component such as: Chemical Products Industries, Inc. a Merichem Technologies Company The Euclid Chemical Company Sika USA Evonik PROSOCO, Inc. So next time you have a project that you might think silicone would be a good fit. Give us a call and we would be more than happy to discuss!
