Abstract

Abstract Prestressing elements having a two-layer plastics covering, the inner layer being moldable, storage-stable at room temperature and thermally curable, and the outer layer consisting of a radiation-cured plastics material, are excellently suitable for producing supporting structural elements, particularly concrete supporting structures and rock bracings.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim 63 words
A prestressing element, which is metal, plastic, glass, carbon fibers or whiskers, onto which is applied an inner polymer-forming layer and an outer solid plastic layer, the said prestressing element being designed so that the inner layer consists of a moldable and thermally curable composition which is storage-stable at room temperature, and the outer layer consists of a plastic material cured by radiation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 63 words
A prestressing element, which is metal, plastic, glass, carbon fibers or whiskers, onto which is applied an inner polymer-forming layer and an outer solid plastic layer, the said prestressing element being designed so that the inner layer consists of a moldable and thermally curable composition which is storage-stable at room temperature, and the outer layer consists of a plastic material cured by radiation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A prestressing element according to claim 1, wherein the composition of the inner layer contains starting materials curable into the form of duroplasts by means of polyaddition or polymerisation.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
A prestressing element according to claim 2, wherein the starting materials are epoxy resins, masked polyurethanes or unsaturated polyesters.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
A prestressing element according to claim 2, wherein the inner layer is a solid pre-reacted epoxy resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
A prestressing element according to claim 1, wherein the curable composition of the inner layer contains a curing agent which can be activated by heat.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 29 words
A prestressing element according to claim 5 wherein the curable composition of the inner layer contains a curing agent which can be activated by heat and a curing accelerator.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 21 words
A prestressing element according to claim 1, wherein the curable composition contains an epoxy resin based on glycidyl ethers of polyphenols.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 16 words
A prestressing element according to claim 1, wherein the outer layer is in addition thermally curable.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 22 words
A prestressing element according to claim 8, wherein the outer layer is thermally curable by virtue of the presence of epoxy groups.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 25 words
A prestressing element according to claim 1, wherein the outer layer contains functional groups which react concomitantly with the thermal curing of the inner layer.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 37 words
A prestressing element according to claim 1, wherein the outer layer is a radiation-cured epoxyacrylate or epoxymethacrylate, epoxy resin, polyesteracrylate or -methacrylate based on bisphenol, an unsaturated polyurethane or polyester, or a polymer having maleimide side groups.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 36 words
A prestressing element according to claim 11, wherein the outer layer is a radiation-cured epoxy-acrylate or epoxymethacrylate, each of which is additionally admixed with at least one acrylic ester or methacrylic ester of an aliphatic polyol.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 25 words
A prestressing element according to claim 1 wherein the inner and outer layers are separated by an intermediate layer of glass fibers or metal filaments.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 68 words
A process for producing a two-layer plastic coating for a prestressing element, which is metal, plastic, glass, carbon fibers or whiskers, which comprises (a) applying to the prestressing element an inner layer consisting of a moldable and thermally curable composition which is stable in storage at room temperature; (b) applying an outer layer of a composition curable by radiation; and (c) curing afterwards the outer layer by radiation.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 68 words
A process for producing a two-layer plastic coating for a prestressing element, which is metal, plastic, glass, carbon fibers or whiskers, which comprises (a) applying to the prestressing element an inner layer consisting of a moldable and thermally curable composition which is stable in storage at room temperature; (b) applying an outer layer of a composition curable by radiation; and (c) curing afterwards the outer layer by radiation.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 36 words
A process according to claim 14 wherein after step (a) the inner layer is coated first with a separating intermediate layer of glass fibers or metal filaments before the outer layer is applied in step (b).
