Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a method for improving surface properties of a porous inorganic material, which comprises coating said material with an infiltratable photopolymerizable paint containing unsaturated spiroacetal resin as one or more layers in environmental atmosphere to infiltrate said paint into said material and then exposing the resultant material to ultraviolet radiation.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A method for improving the surface properties of a porous inorganic material which comprises applying to said material at least one coating of an infiltratable light-curable paint having a viscosity of 0.5 to 300 poise, allowing the first coating of said paint to infiltrate into said material and exposing the paint to ultraviolet radiation so that the depth of infiltration of paint into the porous inorganic material is from 5 to 5000 microns, at least the outermost paint coating being an infiltratable light-curable paint consisting essentially of unsaturated spiroacetal resin.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
90 words
A method for improving the surface properties of a porous inorganic material which comprises applying to said material at least one coating of an infiltratable light-curable paint having a viscosity of 0.5 to 300 poise, allowing the first coating of said paint to infiltrate into said material and exposing the paint to ultraviolet radiation so that the depth of infiltration of paint into the porous inorganic material is from 5 to 5000 microns, at least the outermost paint coating being an infiltratable light-curable paint consisting essentially of unsaturated spiroacetal resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the unsaturated spiroacetal resin is obtained by reacting diallylidene pentaerythritol with unsaturated alcohol having an acryloyl or methacryloyl group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein a plurality of paint coatings are applied, the first paint coating applied to the porous inorganic material being an infiltratable light-curable paint different from the paint consisting essentially of unsaturated spiroacetal resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the porous inorganic material is coated with a single coating of an infiltratable light-curable paint consisting essentially of unsaturated spiroacetal resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the porous inorganic material is coated with a plurality of coatings of an infiltratable light-curable paint consisting essentially of unsaturated spiroacetal resin.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
63 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein a first paint coating of an infiltratable light-curable paint is applied to the porous inorganic material and is at least partially cured by exposing to ultraviolet radiation, said at least partially cured first paint coating is subsequently overcoated by an infiltratable light-curable paint consisting essentially of unsaturated spiroacetal resin which is then exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
44 words
A method according to claim 6 wherein the first paint coating is only partially cured by exposing to ultraviolet radiation, the overcoating paint is applied over the partially cured first paint coating and the coatings are exposed to ultraviolet radiation to effect complete curing.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
A method according to claim 3 wherein the first paint coating contains an unsaturated acrylate type resin.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the water absorption rate of said inorganic material to be treated is from several percent to several tens percent.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein said inorganic material is selected from the group consisting of cement mortar products, concrete products, unglazed pottery, bricks, gypsum products and marble.
