Abstract

Abstract An improved multi-layer surface marking tape material for use on roadway pavements so as to provide a traffic regulating indicium thereon, and having an anti-skid and wear-resisting upper layer and a lower primer layer for connecting the material to said pavement, the new multi-layer tape material comprising further an intermediate relatively thin, pliable, essentially inextensible and tensionally resistant intermediate layer compatible with and intimately connected to both said layers for distributing and transferring over a large primer layer-roadway pavement interfacial area horizontally directed stresses tangentially applied to said anti-skid upper layer at localized upper layer-vehicle wheel treads interfacial areas.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 157 words
A road marking tape material comprising: a bituminous primer layer firmly attachable to a road surface; a wear- and skid-resistant upper layer having partially protruding particles of a substance having a hardness of at least 6 on the Mohs' Hardness Scale embedded therein; and an impregnant-saturated layer intermediate said primer and upper layers, said impregnant-saturated layer being completely permeated with an impregnant and additionally being partially permeated by the composition of said primer layer and by the composition forming said upper layer, said intermediate layer being a non-woven fibrous material having an unimpregnated condition a weight of about 75 g/m 2 and a tension-resistance of at least 10 kg/cm, said impregnant-saturated layer having a weight of about 160 g/m 2 and said impregnant having approximately the following composition (parts by weight) ______________________________________ nitrile rubber 100 epoxy resin 100 zinc oxide 5 stearic acid 1 sulfur 3.5 an accelerator for the expoxy resin 1.5 titanium dioxide 7.5. ______________________________________
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 157 words
A road marking tape material comprising: a bituminous primer layer firmly attachable to a road surface; a wear- and skid-resistant upper layer having partially protruding particles of a substance having a hardness of at least 6 on the Mohs' Hardness Scale embedded therein; and an impregnant-saturated layer intermediate said primer and upper layers, said impregnant-saturated layer being completely permeated with an impregnant and additionally being partially permeated by the composition of said primer layer and by the composition forming said upper layer, said intermediate layer being a non-woven fibrous material having an unimpregnated condition a weight of about 75 g/m 2 and a tension-resistance of at least 10 kg/cm, said impregnant-saturated layer having a weight of about 160 g/m 2 and said impregnant having approximately the following composition (parts by weight) ______________________________________ nitrile rubber 100 epoxy resin 100 zinc oxide 5 stearic acid 1 sulfur 3.5 an accelerator for the expoxy resin 1.5 titanium dioxide 7.5. ______________________________________
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A road-marking tape material as defined in claim 1, said impregnant being soluble in a methylethylketone peroxide-toluene solvent, and said layer having a tension resistance of about 20 kg/cm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 136 words
A road-marking tape material, comprising a wear- and skid-resistant upper layer consisting predominantly of a synthetic resin composition having partially protruding particles of a substance having a hardness of at least 6 on the Mohs' Hardness Scale embedded therein; a primer layer firmly attachable to a road surface and consisting predominantly of a bituminous composition; an impregnable intermediate layer sandwiched between said upper and primer layers and forming an interface with each of the same, said intermediate layer being a non-woven fibrous material; and an impregnant composition impregnating said intermediate layer, said impregnant composition containing a rubbery component and being intermixed with said synthetic resin composition adjacent the interface of said upper layer and said intermediate layer and also being intermixed with said bituminous composition adjacent the interface of said primer layer and said intermediate layer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 136 words
A road-marking tape material, comprising a wear- and skid-resistant upper layer consisting predominantly of a synthetic resin composition having partially protruding particles of a substance having a hardness of at least 6 on the Mohs' Hardness Scale embedded therein; a primer layer firmly attachable to a road surface and consisting predominantly of a bituminous composition; an impregnable intermediate layer sandwiched between said upper and primer layers and forming an interface with each of the same, said intermediate layer being a non-woven fibrous material; and an impregnant composition impregnating said intermediate layer, said impregnant composition containing a rubbery component and being intermixed with said synthetic resin composition adjacent the interface of said upper layer and said intermediate layer and also being intermixed with said bituminous composition adjacent the interface of said primer layer and said intermediate layer.
