EMENTAHV NOTES 



SPONSOniNC MILITARY ACTIVITY 



Director of Naval Laboratories 



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 alcohol 

 precipitated by sodium sulfate.
