Abstract

Abstract The invention discloses a novel damp proof composition, suitable for making into sheets for roofing purposes, comprising (a) from 5 to 40% of a polychloroprene rubber, (b) pitch in an amount of up to 45%, and (c) at least 5% of a filler. The filler may be particulate or fibrous, and the composition may further include a supplementary polymer, for instance a nitrile rubber.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A damp proof composition in sheet form, consisting essentially of (a) from 5 to 40% of a polychloroprene rubber having a medium Mooney viscosity and a slow rate of crystalization, (b) from 10 to 45% of a coal tar pitch having a softening point of between 100° and 110° C, (c) from 5 to 12% of a fibrous filler, (d) from 5 to 60% of a particulate filler, (e) from 10 to 65% of one or more supplementary polymers selected from the group consisting of nitrile or halobutyl rubbers or styrene-butadiene copolymer rubbers, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, chlorinated polyethylene, chlorosulphonated polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride homo- or co-polymers, and (f) processing aids in an amount of 1 to 5%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 117 words
A damp proof composition in sheet form, consisting essentially of (a) from 5 to 40% of a polychloroprene rubber having a medium Mooney viscosity and a slow rate of crystalization, (b) from 10 to 45% of a coal tar pitch having a softening point of between 100° and 110° C, (c) from 5 to 12% of a fibrous filler, (d) from 5 to 60% of a particulate filler, (e) from 10 to 65% of one or more supplementary polymers selected from the group consisting of nitrile or halobutyl rubbers or styrene-butadiene copolymer rubbers, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, chlorinated polyethylene, chlorosulphonated polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride homo- or co-polymers, and (f) processing aids in an amount of 1 to 5%.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the particulate filler comprises up to 25% by weight of the total composition of carbon black.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the supplementary polymer comprises from 5 to 20% of nitrile rubber and up to 45% of one or more other of said polymers, by weight of the total composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 39 words
A composition as claimed in claim 3, wherein the supplementary polymer comprises from 5 to 20% of nitrile rubber and about 7 to about 10% of one or more other of said polymers, by weight of the total composition.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pitch is present in an amount of 10 to 35% by weight of the total composition.
