(54) FIBRE REINFORCED CEMENTITIOUS
LAYERS ON PLASTICS SUBSTRATES
(71) We, CHARCON COMPOSITES
LIMITED, a British Company of 83
Friar Gate, Derby, do hereby declare the.
invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:- This invention relates to cementitious structures having protective coatings and methods of producing same.
There are many applications in industry where chemical resistance is required, usually allied to other requirements such as weight, fire resistance, installation techniques.
For example, one major problem in the provision and maintenance of sewer lines is the deterioration, sometimes very rapid, of the cementitious materials generally used in their construction.
Currently there are many major problems in sewers caused by the production of
Hydrogen Sulphide gas (H2S). Under various conditions which might be caused by inadequate rates of flow, or high temperature or a combination of these with other conditions, the sewage becomes septic after bacteria has consumed the free oxygen and subsequent chemical changes result in very low pH values and condensation on the sewer walls of
Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4). The acid is held in contact with the walls by the slime deposits and attacks the cement.
It is well known that Sulphuric Acid {H2SO4) readily attacks all cements, particularly Portland Cement which is generally used in construction, but also cements such as Sulphate resisting and High
Alumina.
When H2S exists in a sewer it causes rapid erosion and if adequate steps are not taken, can lead to complete collapse.
It is also well known that many synthetic resins and plastics are resistant to chemical attack, and are sometimes used for sewer pipes. For example pipes of glass reinforced polyester resin, epoxy resin, PVC and high density polyethylene are often used. The use of such pipes is however generally restricted to new installations laid in an open cut trench. In general, pipes cannot be easily or satisfactorily used in an existing sewer where access is normally restricted by manhole chamber size or where the existing sewer is not round, or for lining large dianreter new sewers such as a driven tunnel or concrete pipe.
The in situ applications of resins to the internal surface of existing pipes and tunnels to provide protection against H2S attack has been carried out, but there are many practical difficulties in obtaining an adequate bond between concrete and plastics and a large number of failures have resulted.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure which has desired strength, stiffness and structural stability and which also has a coating providing protection against chemical attack.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of producing a cementitious structure comprising preforming a plastics material into a sheet of desired shape having a fibrous mat arrangement on one surface thereof, forming a fibre reinforced cementitious material into a pliable dewatered condition, and applying the cementitious material to the fibrous mat arrangement of the preformed sheet.
The present invention also provides a method of forming a sewer lining comprising erecting a plurality of cementitious structures, formed by the method according to any of the two preceding paragraphs in edge-to-edge relation, and sealing joints between adjacent structures by means of cover strips of the plastics material applied across the joints.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a cementitious structure comprising a plastics material preformed into a sheet of a desired shape and having a fibrous mat arrangement on one surface thereof, and a fibre reinforced cementitious material affixed to the fibrous mat arrangement of the preformed sheet.
The cementitious material is advantageously glass reinforced cement.
Preferably also the fibrous mat arrangement incorporates alkali resistant glass fibres. Alternatively the fibrous mat arrangement incorporates E-glass fibres and a resin is applied to' the fibrous mat arrangement of the preformed sheet before the cementitious material.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example only.
To produce a cementitious structure having a coating which provides protection against a chemical attack, for example for use as lining structures in sewers wherein the formation of sulphuric acid can cause erosion of the cement, a plastics material such as PVC, high density polyethylene, polyethylene polyester, polypropylene or any other suitable plastics is preformed into a sheet having a fibrous mat arrangement on one surface, as the plastics material cannot be bonded directly to the cementitious material. The mat arrangement may incorporate E-glass fibres or alkali resistant glass fibres. Plastics sheets incorporating Eglass fibre mats are available commercially but have not been found satisfactory when used as coatings on a cementitious material because the E-glass is severely attacked by the free alkali in Portland Cement, leading to a breakdown at the interface between the mat and the cementitious material.
The cementitious material which is preferably of a thickness from 3 to 20mm is advantageously glass reinforced cement (GRC) which, being a fine matrix reinforced with fine glass fibre can penetrate a fibre mat thus providing a homogeneous fibre reinforced matrix at the interface of the mat and the cement.
The GRC may be initially formed in a flat, dewatered state in which the GRC, although in one piece, is pliable and can be laid on the fibrous mat of the preformed sheet to take up the shape thereof.
Alternatively the GRC may be sprayed on to the fibrous mat of the preformed sheet.
To protect an E-glass fibre mat from alkali attack by the cement a resin is applied to the mat before the GRC. The resin is preferably a water tolerant epoxy resin and penetrates into the body of the glass fibre mat. The ability of the resin to bond satisfactorily to the cement mix prevents deterioration of the interfacial bond which would otherwise result from degradation of the glass fibre at the interface and also in fact provides an improved interfacial bond.
In a modification a further glass fibre mat may be provided on the first-mentioned glass fibre mat. The additional mat may incorporate glass fibres which protrude from the surface thereof and provide an additional key for the glass reinforced cement.
In a further modification a further fibre mat may be provided on that face of the cementitious material remote from the face to which is applied the plastics sheet with the first mentioned fibre mat. When the structure so formed is used, the further fibre mat provides protection against chemical attack from the other side of the lining.
The structure may be made to a size and shape to suit its particular use. When used as a new lining for an existing sewer the size and shape is made to suit the internal dimensions and profile of the sewer such that two or more of the structures form a complete ring. However it may be unnecessary to provide a full ring and the structures may then be manufactured and fixed so that they extend over the upper or lower part of the sewer only.
It will be appreciated that when the structures are formed as lining panels it is necessary to seal the joints between adjacent panels so as to prevent the ingress of sewage or chemicals which would then attack the cement behind the plastics coating. Sealing of the joints is preferably carried out by using cover strips of the plastics material to bridge the joints. The cover strips may be either heat welded or bonded to the panels using a compatible adhesive. The choice of joint sealing is determined by the materials used in the lining.
When installed, the panels create in the existing sewer an annulus between themselves and the original wall of the sewer. This annulus is filled with a cement and sand grout thus providing a new smooth pipe securely and rigidly fixed within the original.
It is to be appreciated that the use of the structures in sewers is only one example and the structures may be used for chimney linings, tank and container wall and partition cladding, laboratory fittings, bathroom fittings such as baths and basins, and pipes or any other product desiring a lightweight cementitious structure wherein the glass reinforced cement provides strength, stiffness and structural ability and the plastics coating provides protection against chemical attack.
Various modifications may be made without departing from the invention. For example the mat arrangement may comprise a mat incorporating other fibres of organic or inorganic form, for example, carbon fibres or steel fibres, polypropylene fibres or nylon fibres.
