Abstract
A solvent mixture of a petroleum distillate and toluene is disclosed. The solvent is used to dissolve a hydrocarbon resin and block copolymers of styrene and isoprene or styrene and butadiene and the solution is applied to newly constructed basement walls to provide a water-resistant elastomeric coating on the walls.
Claims4
An article of manufacture, comprising a concrete foundation having an interior surface and an exterior surface, and a continuous water impervious elastomeric coating disposed on said exterior surface, said coating consisting essentially of a mixture of a hydrocarbon resin and a copolymer selected from the group consisting of a polystyrene-polyisoprene block copolymer, a polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene block copolymer, a polystyrene-polybutadiene block copolymer, a polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene block copolymer, and mixtures thereof, said coating being produced by adding toluene and an aliphatic petroleum distillate as solvents to said moisture to provide a homogeneous solution having a viscosity in the range of bout 3,000 to 5,000 cps at 70.degree. F., spraying said solution on said exterior surface of the concrete foundation, and thereafter evaporating the solvents.
