Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
A room temperature low pressure curing moldable polymer concrete composition having improved mechanical properties and dimentional stability when molded, said composition comprising: (a) an acetylene terminated polyamide; (b) an ethylenically unsaturated monomer; (c) a filler; (d) a combination of a low temperature free radical initiator and a low temperature promoter which will cure at between 0° C. and 100° C.; (e) a styrene-butadiene block copolymer having styrene block molecular weights of between 1,000 and 100,000, butadiene block molecular weights between 30,000 and 100,000 with the butadiene having a microstructure of between about 10 to 90 mole percent 1,2-vinyl, between about 5 and 40 mole percent 1,4-cis and between about 5 and 50 mole percent 1,4-trans.
