Abstract
Abstract An uncured cementitious dough or paste, which is substantially free of particulate components having a diameter greater than 100 microns, said paste comprising in admixture; (a) At least one hydraulic cement; (b) at least one polymer latex, the polymer being present in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts of the cement; (c) total water in an amount from 8 to 20 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight of cement. A cured cementitious composition may be produced by heating said dough or paste at a temperature of above 100 DEG C. and may be used for products such as roofing elements, for cladding the exterior walls of buildings and other building products.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
An uncured cementitious dough or paste, which is substantially free of particulate components having a diameter greater than 100 microns said paste comprising in admixture: (a) at least one hydraulic cement; (b) at least one polymer latex, the polymer being present in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts of the cement; (c) total water in an amount from 8 to 20 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight cement; wherein said polymer latex is a member selected from the group consisting of natural rubber latex and a latex of a synthetic hydrophobic polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
An uncured cementitious dough or paste, which is substantially free of particulate components having a diameter greater than 100 microns said paste comprising in admixture: (a) at least one hydraulic cement; (b) at least one polymer latex, the polymer being present in an amount of 1 to 20 parts by weight per 100 parts of the cement; (c) total water in an amount from 8 to 20 parts by weight of water per 100 parts by weight cement; wherein said polymer latex is a member selected from the group consisting of natural rubber latex and a latex of a synthetic hydrophobic polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein the admixture comprises from 1 to 5 parts by weight of the polymer per 100 parts by weight of cement and from 12 to 16 parts by weight of water per 100 parts of cement.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 1 wherein the synthetic polymer is a synthetic rubber, a thermoplastic or a thermosetting resin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 3, wherein the synthetic rubber is a copolymer of styrene and butadiene, or the thermoplastic resin is a polyacrylic ester, polyvinyl acetate, polyethylene-vinyl acetate or polyvinylidene chloride, or the thermosetting resin is an epoxy, phenolic, urethane or acrylic resin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 1, which also contains a water-soluble polymer as a rheology modifying additive.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 1, wherein the hydraulic cement is Portland cement or a rapid hardening Portland cement.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
24 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 1, which also contains a finely divided filler containing particles having a diameter of less than 100 microns.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 7, wherein the filler is blast furnace slag, pulverised fuel ash or a natural pozzolan.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 8, wherein the pozzolan is amorphous silica with a particle size distribution substantially between 50 A and 0.5 microns.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
14 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 1, which also comprises fibrous or textile reinforcement.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
35 words
A cementitious composition according to claim 10, wherein the fibre is fibrillated polypropylene or polyethylene or a copolymer of both and has a secant elastic modulus of at least 10 GPa measured at 0.1% elongation.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
12 words
A cementitious composition produced by curing a composition according to claim 1.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
38 words
A cured cementitious composition produced by hardening a composition according to claim 1 and containing a mixture of lime and silica as the hydraulic cement wherein the composition is hardened by heating at a temperature above 100° C.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
14 words
A cementitious composition as claimed in claim 12, produced by autoclaving the cementitious composition.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
74 words
A method of making a cementitious composition according to claim 1, wherein the ingredients (a), (b) and (c) are mixed to produce a uniform composition and then subjected to high shear mixing in order to plasticise the composition and to convert the composition into a material of dough-like or paste-like consistency from which the voids are substantially removed by subjecting the soft material to vacuum or by applying pressure until the material has hardened.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method as claimed in claim 15 wherein the high shear mixing is effected using a twin-roll mill or an extruder.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
31 words

Claim 19
Dependent Claim
31 words
A composition as claimed in claim 17, wherein the composition has less than 2% of the apparent volume of the composition comprises pores having a size of greater than 50 microns.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
31 words
A composition as claimed in claim 18, wherein the composition has less than 2% of the apparent volume of the product of pores having a size of greater than 15 microns.
