Abstract
Abstract A lining material utilizable for a pipe-lining method, which comprises a tubular textile jacket woven or knitted with synthetic fiber yarns provided on the exterior surface thereof with a laminated two or three layer film of the following resinous materials: (1) in case of two layers: the outer layer: a synthetic resin of polyolefin series having a stress-crack resisting property of at least 1000 hours the inner layer: (1) a resin wherein an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid has been grafted to an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or (2) a resin comprised of 30-70% of a resin wherein an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid has been grafted to a polymer of an α-olefin and 70-30% of a styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene resin composition. (2) in case of three layers: between the above described outer layer and inner layer is interposed an intermediate layer of the following resinous material: the intermediate layer: a styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene resin composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
A tubular lining material for pipe lines which is utilizable in a pipe-lining method wherein a flexible tubular lining material is inserted into a pipe line from one end thereof to the other end thereof while evaginating the tubular lining material under fluid pressure thereby bonding the inner surface of the tubular lining material onto the inner surface of the pipe line to effect pipe-lining and which comprises a tubular textile jacket woven or knitted with synthetic fiber yarns provided on the exterior surface thereof with a laminated two layer resinous film, characterized in that the outer layer of the film is comprised of a synthetic resin of polyolefin series having a stress-crack resisting property of at least 1000 hours and the inner layer of the film is comprised of (1) a resin wherein an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid has been grafted to an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or (2) a resin comprised of 30-70% of a resin wherein an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid has been grafted to a polymer of an α-olefin and 70-30% of a styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene resin composition.
