Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 28
Claim 1
Independent Claim
109 words
A laminate comprising: (a) an intermediate layer of cross-linked thermoset resilient foamed emulsion adhered to; (b) a substrate (c) said intermediate layer (a) being self-bonded to the substrate (b) (d) at least one active compound added to said intermediate layer; (e) barrier means for substantially preventing ambient elements and said at least one active compound from reacting, said barrier means comprising a plastic surface film of a cross-linked thermoset emulsion self bonded to said intermediate layer; (f) whereby, said at least one active compound will react to ambient elements only upon said barrier means being at least partially opened to expose a least a portion of said intermediate layer.
