Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A marine structure comprising a corrosion resistant steel pipe piling consisting of, in sequence, a top head portion, a splash zone portion, a tidal zone portion and a bottom portion extending into a riprap layer on the sea bed, and a concrete slab supported by said piling, said piling being provided with a coating material comprising in sequence, a primer layer, an adhesive layer and a polyethylene resin layer, said coating material being applied over said top head portion, a splash zone portion, a tidal zone portion and bottom portion to at least the point where said bottom portion enters said riprap layer, and wherein said polyethylene resin layer comprises a polyethylene resin, carbon black, and a phenolic antioxidant, said polyethylene resin being a copolymer consisting of polyethylene and a member selected from the group of vinyl acetate, butene, and hexene, said copolymer having a density of 0.915-0.970 g/cm 3 and a melt index of 0.05-0.5 g/10 minutes.
