Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a process for producing a large architectural precast concrete panel for use in outside walls and applicable to the curtain wall technique of architecture, wherein a resinous substance and an inorganic material are placed in a mold, then a hydraulic cement composition is placed on the layer of above mixture. The polymerization of the resinous substance and the hydration of the cement composition are carried out in the mold simultaneously. A particularly preferred process employs the following critical conditions: 1. The viscous methyl methacrylate syrup is one obtained by mixing about 100 parts by weight of viscous methyl methacrylate syrup with from about 0.5 to about 15 parts by weight of a radical polymerizable cross-linking monomer having α, β-unsaturated groups to obtain a resin solution; 2. The particle size of the aggregates is between 0.6 and 15mm diameter; 3. The thickness of the layer of the aggregates and the thermosetting acryl resin is between about 10 and 30mm; 4. The weight ratio of parts of water to parts of the cement in the hydraulic cement composition is about 50:60 to 40:50, respectively; 5. The thickness of the hydraulic cement composition is about 40 to 100mm.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A process for producing a decorative precast concrete panel for an outside wall, which comprises mixing about 100 parts by weight of viscous methyl methacrylate syrup with from about 0.5 to about 15 parts by weight of a radical polymerizable cross-linking monomer having α, β-unsaturated groups to obtain a thermosetting acrylic resin solution, mixing about 100 parts by weight of said resin solution with from about 0.01 to about 1.0 part by weight of a redox type polymerization initiator and from about 300 to about 700 parts by weight of aggregates to form a mixture, molding the said mixture into a shape, then placing a hydraulic cement composition on the surface of the said mixture while the said mixture is in a nonpolymerized state, performing simultaneously the polymerization of said resin and hydration of said hydraulic cement composition, whereby said mixture is formed into molded substances in one body as a concrete panel for outside walls resistant to weathering.
