A METHOD OF PROVIDING A SURFACE COVERING COMPRISING A NON-WOVEN POLYOLEFIN FABRIC, MAT OR WEB, FUSED EXTERNALLY ON ONE SIDE AND HAVING UNFUSED FIBER ON THE OTHER EXTERNAL SIDE, WHICH METHOD COMPRISES PLACING SAID POLYOLEFIN FABRIC, MAT OR WEB, WHICH CAN BE NEEDLE-PUNCHED, AGAINST A SURFACE TO BE RENDERED IMPERVIOUS TO FLUIDS, THE SIDE OF THE FABRIC PLACED AGAINST THE SURFACE TO BE COVERED HAVING BEEN FUSED AND THEN COATING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FABRIC WHICH PRESENTS UNFUSED FIBERS WITH A MIXTURE CONTAINING ASPHALT AND ASBESTOS FIBERS.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
112 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the fabric is polypropylene fabric made by needle punching together a mass of non-woven fibers and wherein the asphalt-asbestos mixture is cut-back with a sufficient amount of a solvent or oil to make the resultant blend applicable to said other external side by hot application at a temperature below that which will adversely melt said polyolefin fabric, mat or web, and the cut-back asphalt-asbestos mixture is applied to said other side at the rate of approximately 3-5 pounds per square yard of the fabric of the asphaltic mixture, and the mixture applied to said other side is allowed to cure in air at ambient temperature.
