Abstract
Abstract Cement compositions setting readily at temperatures below 0 DEG C are disclosed which are prepared by mixing together and allowing to cure a hydraulic cement, an inert filler, an organic polyisocyanate, water and coal tar. The organic polyisocyanate is used in an amount to provide an excess of isocyanate groups over the isocyanate-reactive groups contained in the coal tar itself; the weight of organic polyisocyanate and coal tar, taken together, is at least equal to the weight of the water used. Such compositions, improved by the addition of coal tar, exhibit advantages over conventional cement mixes and known urethane, epoxy and polyester resin-containing concretes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A composition which is the product obtained by mixing together and allowing to cure a hydraulic cement, an inert filler, an organic polyisocyanate, water and coal tar, the organic polyisocyanate being used in an amount such that there is an excess of isocyanate groups over the isocyanate-reactive groups in the coal tar, and the weight of organic polyisocyanate and coal tar taken together being at least equal to the weight of water used.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A composition which is the product obtained by mixing together and allowing to cure a hydraulic cement, an inert filler, an organic polyisocyanate, water and coal tar, the organic polyisocyanate being used in an amount such that there is an excess of isocyanate groups over the isocyanate-reactive groups in the coal tar, and the weight of organic polyisocyanate and coal tar taken together being at least equal to the weight of water used.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the hydraulic cement is Portland cement.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein the organic polyisocyanate consists of diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate in admixture with isomers thereof and with methylene-linked poly(phenylisocyanates) containing more than two isocyanate groups.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
64 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1 which contains an organic isocyanate-reactive compound in addition to coal tar, the polyisocyanate being used in an amount in excess over the coal tar and additional organic isocyanate-reactive compound taken together, and provided the weight of organic polyisocyanate, coal tar and additional isocyanate-reactive organic compound taken together is at least equal to the weight of water used.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
51 words
A composition as claimed in claim 4 wherein the organic isocyanate-reactive compound is the high temperature reaction product of castor oil with the resin obtained by reacting together at a high temperature natural rosin, glycerol and the resol resin derived from 1 mol of diphenylolpropane and approximately 4 moles of formaldehyde.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composition as claimed in claim 4 wherein the organic isocyanate-reactive compound is the polyester from 1,3-butanediol, hexametriol and adipic acid in the mol ratio 3:1:3.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A composition as claimed in claim 4 wherein the coal tar constitutes at least 1% of the total weight of organic isocyanate-reactive materials.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
A composition as claimed in claim 7 wherein the coal tar content is from 5 to 95% by weight of the organic isocyanate-reactive materials.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composition as claimed in claim 4 which also contains a high-boiling point inert organic plasticiser selected from the group consisting of esters and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
66 words
A composition as claimed in claim 9 which comprises from 10 to 20000 parts by weight of inert filler, from 5 to 150 parts by weight of water, from 5 to 4000 parts by weight of organic polyisocyanate, coal tar and other isocyanate reactive organic compounds taken together and from 5 to 4000 parts by weight of plasticiser per 100 parts by weight of hydraulic cement.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
65 words
A composition as claimed in claim 10 which comprises from 50 to 12000 parts by weight of inert filler, from 10 to 100 parts by weight of water, from 10 to 3000 parts by weight of organic polyisocyanate, coal tar and other isocyanate-reactive organic compounds taken together and from 10 to 3000 parts by weight of plasticiser per 100 parts by weight of hydraulic cement.
