 MATERIALS TO YIELD WATER- INSOLUBLE MATERIALS

ABSTRACT 



In an effort to produce resinous compounds for use in preventing 

 passage of water through porous construction materials such as 

 concrete, a series of crosslinking or complexing reactions were 

 carried out to produce water-insoluble materials from water-soluble 

 materials. None of the materials produced had mechanical and chemical 

 properties equal or superior to those of polyvinyl alchol precipitated 

 by sodium sulfate.
