Abstract: A bituminous building sheeting which is compatible with hot mopping bitumen and bituminous cold adhesives and whose covering mass is modified with APP and IPP. The mass, homogenized under high shear forces is cooled off after the application of 180.degree. to 200.degree. C. at a cooling speed of not more than 120 K/min. Polymer spherulites form on the surface thereby which improve the adhesiveness and prevent oily components from exuding out of the bitumen.

Abstract: Polysulfide sheeting is prepared by mixing a curable polysulfide oligomer or polymer, carbon black, and manganese dioxide as a hardening catalyst; forming the composition into a sheet; and curing the sheet at an elevated temperature. The sheeting has unusually high short-term heat resistance, so it will not lose its watertightness when coated with hot-laid asphalt at 240.degree. C. It has better resistance to ultraviolet light than conventional polysulfide sheeting, and good penetration and compression set resistance. The sheeting can be laminated to a reinforcing layer, if desired. A continuous waterproofing layer can be formed by laying pieces of the sheeting in overlapping relation, placing an uncured polysulfide rope between the overlapping edges of adjacent pieces of sheeting, and curing the rope, thus joining the pieces to form an integral sheet. Such waterproof layers can be incorporated into paving for bridges, roofs, and other structures.

Abstract: A roofing strip with a very wide range of plasticity and based on elastomer-modified bitumen is prepared by covering a support with a bitumen/rubber mixture in the ratio of 17/3-19/1 and irradiating the strip at a rate between 6 and 16.times.10.sup.4 Gy.

Abstract: A high-temperature resistant sealing strip for bridge-sealing is prepared from a strip with a cover substance containing a mixture of bitumen and a radiation-crosslinking polymer in the ratio of 7/3 to 19/1 and which is crosslinked in an electron accelerator at an irradiation dose between 5 and 16.times.10.sup.4 Gy.
