Abstract
Abstract The method of production of chemically set compositions which show no shrinkage or which increase their volume during setting finding their application in building engineering, electrotechnical engineering and other fields of technology, consists in adding a special expanding system to a composition comprising synthetic resins or elastomers. Said system consists of an expanding agent, an expansion promoter, and if need be an expansion moderator, and sodium and/or potassium and/or magnesium fluosilicate. As the expanding agent substances are used having a porous structure and sorption properties, as for instance aluminosilicates, and as the expansion promoter substances are used having a polar structure and a critical diameter of the molecule smaller than that of the pores of the expanding agent, as for instance alcohols.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
197 words
In a method of producing a chemically set composition said method comprising the steps of mixing a chemically settable synthetic polymer with a filler and a setting system for said polymer and subjecting said mixture to a temperature which promotes setting, the improvement which consists of incorporating in said mixture before setting (a) 5-300% by weight based on the weight of said polymer of a porous expanding agent having sorption properties and selected from the group consisting of silica gels, aluminosilica gels, crystalline or partially crystalline natural or synthetic aluminosilicates, aluminum oxide, and activated magnesium oxide, said expanding agent being wetted with a first portion of an expansion promotor consisting of a polar solvent whose molecules have a critical diameter less than the critical diameter of the pores of said expanding agent, and (b) a second portion of said expansion promotor in an amount such that the total amount of said expansion promotor is 15-145% by weight based on the weight of said expanding agent and said first portion of said expansion promotor does not exceed 45% of the total amount of said added expansion promotor, whereby the volume of said mixture does not decrease upon setting.
