Abstract

Abstract A moisture, fungi, and alkaline salt resistant laminate for floor, wall or other covering purposes comprising a moisture permeable backing layer, preferably a sized asbestos felt, a barrier layer overlying the backing layer resistant to penetration and degradation by moisture, fungi and alkaline salts, preferably a thermoplastic resin such as polyvinyl chloride or mixtures of resins having the mentioned characteristics, a resinous body layer overlying the barrier layer preferably of an open cellular character and a resinous wear layer overlying the body layer.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 69 words
A resinous, moisture resistant laminate comprising: (a) a moisture permeable backing layer which is dimensionally stable under varying moisture conditions and resistant to degradation from water; (b) a barrier layer overlying the backing layer which is dimensionally stable under varying moisture conditions and substantially impervious to moisture penetration; (c) an intermediate, open-cellular, foamed resinous layer overlying the barrier layer; and (d) a resinous wear layer overlying the intermediate layer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 69 words
A resinous, moisture resistant laminate comprising: (a) a moisture permeable backing layer which is dimensionally stable under varying moisture conditions and resistant to degradation from water; (b) a barrier layer overlying the backing layer which is dimensionally stable under varying moisture conditions and substantially impervious to moisture penetration; (c) an intermediate, open-cellular, foamed resinous layer overlying the barrier layer; and (d) a resinous wear layer overlying the intermediate layer.
