Abstract
Abstract A pinhole free, asphalt coated fibrous mat is disclosed herein. This mat is made by selecting a fibrous base mat and preparing or otherwise providing a thixotropic mixture including asphalt emulsion and an additive for making the mixture thixotropic. The mixture is coated onto at least one side of the mat and the coated mat is dried, thereby driving off the water from the mixture and at the same time breaking the asphalt emulsion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
An article of manufacture comprising a foamed resin body having adhered to at least one surface thereof a composite article, said article of manufacture being made according to the process which comprises: (a) providing a fibrous mat having such characteristics as to permit the constituents of said resin body, prior to and during the foaming thereof, to pass therethrough; (b) providing an asphalt emulsion;
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
64 words
An article of manufacture comprising a foamed resin body having adhered to at least one surface thereof a composite article, said article of manufacture being made according to the process which comprises: (a) providing a fibrous mat having such characteristics as to permit the constituents of said resin body, prior to and during the foaming thereof, to pass therethrough; (b) providing an asphalt emulsion;
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
115 words
(c) mixing said asphalt emulsion with an additive for making the resulting mixture thixotropic; (d) coating the side of said mat opposite the side to which said foamed resin body is to be adhered with said thixotropic mixture; (e) drying said coated mat so as to form a film on said mat, said film having such characteristics as to prevent the constituents of said resin body, prior to and during the foaming thereof, from passing through said film; (f) thereafter foaming said resin body in place directly on the other side of said coated mat; and (g) curing said foamed resin body, whereby said coated mat forms a facing for said cured foamed resin body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
115 words
(c) mixing said asphalt emulsion with an additive for making the resulting mixture thixotropic; (d) coating the side of said mat opposite the side to which said foamed resin body is to be adhered with said thixotropic mixture; (e) drying said coated mat so as to form a film on said mat, said film having such characteristics as to prevent the constituents of said resin body, prior to and during the foaming thereof, from passing through said film; (f) thereafter foaming said resin body in place directly on the other side of said coated mat; and (g) curing said foamed resin body, whereby said coated mat forms a facing for said cured foamed resin body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words

Dependent Claim
16 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 1 wherein the pH said mixture is approximately 9.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 1 wherein said side of said mat is coated with said thixotropic mixture at a rate such that the film on said side after drying weighs approximately 2.57 lbs/100 ft 2 .
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
39 words
An article of manufacture set forth in claim 1 wherein said side of said mat is coated with said thixotropic mixture at a rate such that said film after drying weighs approximately 2.82 lbs/100 ft 2 of said mat.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
142 words
A process for making an article of manufacture comprising: (a) providing a fibrous mat having such characteristics as to permit the constituents of a foamable resin body prior to or during the foaming thereof, a pass therethrough; (b) providing an asphalt emulsion; (c) mixing said asphalt emulsion with an additive for making the resulting mixture thixotropic; (d) coating on side of said mat with said thixotropic mixture; (e) drying said coated mat so as to form a film on said mat, said film having such a characteristics as to prevent the constituents of said resin body, prior to and during the foaming thereof, from passing through said film; (f) thereafter foaming a resin in place directly on the other side of said coated mat; and (g) curing said foamed resin, whereby said coated mat forms a facing for said cured foamed resin.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
142 words
A process for making an article of manufacture comprising: (a) providing a fibrous mat having such characteristics as to permit the constituents of a foamable resin body prior to or during the foaming thereof, a pass therethrough; (b) providing an asphalt emulsion; (c) mixing said asphalt emulsion with an additive for making the resulting mixture thixotropic; (d) coating on side of said mat with said thixotropic mixture; (e) drying said coated mat so as to form a film on said mat, said film having such a characteristics as to prevent the constituents of said resin body, prior to and during the foaming thereof, from passing through said film; (f) thereafter foaming a resin in place directly on the other side of said coated mat; and (g) curing said foamed resin, whereby said coated mat forms a facing for said cured foamed resin.
