Abstract
Abstract A repair overlay for masonry surfaces includes three layers each containing epoxy resins which contribute to bonding to the adjacent layers. The underlayer is a coating of epoxy adhesive. The layer that overlies the underlayer includes Portland cement and epoxy, acrylic and vinyl polymers and, in some forms, a flexible metal mesh or screen. The overlayer consists of an epoxy paint and, in preferred form, a second thinner layer of cementitious polymer bearing material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A flexible cementitious overlayer for installation over the unsealed surface of a base material comprising, in combination: a hardened underlayer of adhesive of a kind to which a combination of Portland cement and polymeric resin will adhere and which has the quality of penetrating and bonding to unsealed base material surfaces; a layer of hardened cementitious material comprising a mixture of polymeric resins and hydrolyzed Portland cement overlying and bonded to said underlayer of adhesive; and an overlayer of epoxy adhesive paint overlying said layer of hardened cementitious material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
A flexible cementitious overlayer for installation over the unsealed surface of a base material comprising, in combination: a hardened underlayer of adhesive of a kind to which a combination of Portland cement and polymeric resin will adhere and which has the quality of penetrating and bonding to unsealed base material surfaces; a layer of hardened cementitious material comprising a mixture of polymeric resins and hydrolyzed Portland cement overlying and bonded to said underlayer of adhesive; and an overlayer of epoxy adhesive paint overlying said layer of hardened cementitious material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The invention defined in claim 1 which further comprises a layer of metal screening embedded in said layer of hardened cementitious material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The invention defined in claim 2 which further comprises fastening means in the form of mechanical fasteners extending through said metal screening and through said adhesive underlayer for mechanically fastening said metal screening to a base material.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The invention defined in claim 3 in which said paint overlayer comprises a mixture of epoxy and acrylic resins and Portland cement to form a flexible water repellant outer surface with high compressive strength.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The invention defined in either of claims 1 or 2 in which said underlayer is less than three millimeters thick and in which said layer is between six and twelve millimeters thick.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
The invention defined in either of claims 1 or 2 in which said underlayer and said overlayer are each less than three millimeters thick and in which said layer is between six and twelve millimeters thick.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words

Claim 10
Independent Claim
106 words
The method of repairing concrete surfaces which method comprises the steps of: (a) coating the surface of the concrete to be repaired with a thin layer of adhesive containing an epoxy resin thinned with solvants to permit penetration into any cracks and interstices opening to the surface of the concrete to be repaired; (b) allowing the adhesive layer to dry by evaporation of the solvent; (c) applying over said adhesive layer a flexible cementitious layer formed of trowellable mixture of water, Portland cement and an emulsion of resins including epoxy and acrylic resins; and (d) sealing said cementitious layer with a sealing coating of epoxy adhesive.
Claim 11
Independent Claim
106 words
The method of repairing concrete surfaces which method comprises the steps of: (a) coating the surface of the concrete to be repaired with a thin layer of adhesive containing an epoxy resin thinned with solvants to permit penetration into any cracks and interstices opening to the surface of the concrete to be repaired; (b) allowing the adhesive layer to dry by evaporation of the solvent; (c) applying over said adhesive layer a flexible cementitious layer formed of trowellable mixture of water, Portland cement and an emulsion of resins including epoxy and acrylic resins; and (d) sealing said cementitious layer with a sealing coating of epoxy adhesive.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
34 words
