Abstract
Abstract A method of improving the surface characteristics of a formed article of magnesium oxychloride or magnesium oxysulfate cement is shown in which molded articles of magnesium oxychloride or magnesium oxysulfate are treated with water at temperatures of 90° F. to 212° F. (32.2° C. to 100° C.) for periods of 1 to 30 minutes or longer to prevent the formed article from efflorescing.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A method of manufacturing an article of magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate cement comprising reacting magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate with sufficient quantities of magnesium oxide to form magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate cement paste; introducing said paste into a mold containing a fiber glass mat as reinforcement for the cement; molding the cement and fiber glass mat under pressure to form a solid article of fiber glass reinforced magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate cement, removing the solid article so formed from the mold and contacting the solid article with water at a temperature of at least 90° F. for a period of time of at least one minute to thereby form an article having a reduced tendency to effloresce.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
A method of manufacturing an article of magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate cement comprising reacting magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate with sufficient quantities of magnesium oxide to form magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate cement paste; introducing said paste into a mold containing a fiber glass mat as reinforcement for the cement; molding the cement and fiber glass mat under pressure to form a solid article of fiber glass reinforced magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate cement, removing the solid article so formed from the mold and contacting the solid article with water at a temperature of at least 90° F. for a period of time of at least one minute to thereby form an article having a reduced tendency to effloresce.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
115 words
A method of producing a fiber glass reinforced magnesium oxychloride or magnesium oxysulfate panel comprising reacting magnesium oxide with magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate to form a magnesium oxychloride or magnesium oxysulfate paste; introducing the resulting paste into a pressure mold containing a fiber glass reinforcing mat; pressure molding the mat and the magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate paste in said mold to form a solid fiber glass reinforced magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate panel removing the solid article from the mold and subjecting the article after formation by contact with water at 90° F. to 212° F. for a period of at least one minute to thereby form a panel having a reduced tendency to effloresce.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
115 words
A method of producing a fiber glass reinforced magnesium oxychloride or magnesium oxysulfate panel comprising reacting magnesium oxide with magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate to form a magnesium oxychloride or magnesium oxysulfate paste; introducing the resulting paste into a pressure mold containing a fiber glass reinforcing mat; pressure molding the mat and the magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate paste in said mold to form a solid fiber glass reinforced magnesium oxychloride or oxysulfate panel removing the solid article from the mold and subjecting the article after formation by contact with water at 90° F. to 212° F. for a period of at least one minute to thereby form a panel having a reduced tendency to effloresce.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said contact is between 2 to 15 minutes in duration.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said articles are immersed in water to effect said contact.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said water is at temperature between 150° F. to 212° F. (66° C. to 100° C.) and said contact time is between 2 to 20 minutes.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said articles are immersed in water to effect said contact, the water is at temperature of 90° F. (32.2° C.) or higher and the time of said contact is at least 2 minutes.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said contact is effected by spraying water on said articles.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 7 wherein said water is sprayed at temperature between 90° F. to 212° F. (32.2° C. to 100° C.) for between 1 to 30 minutes.
