Abstract: An improved pre-formed, sheet-like flexible laminate suitable for waterproofing of structural surfaces, the sheet-like material having a laminate structure of (a) a flexible waterproof and waterproofing bituminous membrane and (b) a support sheet material covering at least one major surface of the bituminous membrane; an oil-impermeable polymeric coating being provided between said support sheet material and the adjacent surface of the bituminous membrane to protect the support sheet from adverse effects of oil present in the bituminous membrane.

Abstract: The setting time of quick-setting magnesium oxide-ammonium phosphate concretes is extended by the addition of specified oxy-boron compounds such as sodium borate. The incorporation of the oxy-boron compound in the composition has also been found to increase the extended or overall compressive strength of the composition.
