Abstract: Coating, impregnating, waterproofing, and like compositions comprise an adhesive consisting of a polymer of high molecular weight of an aliphatic mono-olefine having a branched carbon chain, e.g. iso-butylene and a waxy material with or without a filler and/or a solvent.  The compositions may be used to impregnate fibrous materials, e.g. cloths, textiles or leather; for caulking and sealing purposes, preferably containing an inert filler such as lithopone, or mineral wool; to treat the sliding surfaces of skis and to seal wounds in trees and plants; as a chewing gum; to clean surfaces such as wall-paper, type, sculpture; to protect steel, wood, alloys and other surfaces from corrosion or oxidation; and to protect fruits and the like from decay.  According to examples: (1) a mixture for treating skis consists of 25 pts. polymerized iso-butylene, 15 pts. bleached montan wax and 10 pts. tallow.  (2) a wax-like composition for sealing wounds in trees consists of 15 pts. polymerized iso-butylene, 10 pts. paraffin oil and 25 pts. wool-grease; (3) a chewing-gum comprises 35 pts. polymerized isobutylene and 15 pts. beeswax, prepared with eucalyptus oil and mixed with a little sugar; (4) a mixture for the treatment of fruits consists of 100 pts. paraffin oil, 6 pts. polymerized isobutylene and 94 pts. paraffin wax; (5) a waterproof paper is obtained by treating ordinary paper with a solution of 1 pt. polymerized iso-butylene and 5 pts. paraffin wax in 10 pts. benzine at a temperature of about 40 DEG  C., for half a minute.  The solvent is allowed to evaporate.  (6) Waterproof linen cloth is obtained by treating linen with a mixture of 10 pts. trichlorethylene, 1 pt. polymerized iso-butylene and 6 pts. paraffin wax from brown coal at a temperature of 45 DEG  C.  The solvent is then allowed to evaporate.  (7) A coating layer on wood is obtained by applying a mixture of 10 pts. mineral oil, 2 pts. polymerized iso-butylene and 8 pts. crude paraffin wax; (8) copper sulphate crystals are protected from humidity by treatment with a mixture of 10 pts. carbon tetrachloride, 2 pts. polymerized iso-butylene and 1 pt. paraffin wax.  The polymerization of the iso-olefines may be carried out at temperatures from -80 DEG  C. to 0 DEG  C., using catalysts such as boron fluoride, aluminium chloride or titanium tetrachloride. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes also compositions containing a polymerized iso-olefine as an adhesive together with a solid material of any kind, e.g. wood, metal, glass, paper, concrete, resins, waxes, fibrous masses, leather, rubber, or mineral fillers.  The polymers may be used to impregnate cloths, textiles, leather, &c., for use as medical adhesive plasters, insulating materials for electrical purposes, or waterproof protective materials.  They may also be used to combine articles of glass, paper, wood or metal to form safety glass, plywood or cement broken objects.  They may be used with asbestos and/or wire cloth to make brake-linings; for anti-skid compositions for tyres or driving belts; and for fly papers or other insect or vermin destroyers, e.g. a mixture of polymerized iso-butylene, linseed oil, wax, and sugar may be coated on to paper.  According to examples: (1) a mixture adapted as an adhesive plaster consists of 40 pts. polymerized iso-butylene and 10 pts. brown-coal tar pitch; (2) compound glass is obtained by applying a thin layer of polymerized iso-butylene to a warm glass plate, covering it with a second plate and pressing together while heating.  Plywood may be made in a similar manner.  (3) A thermoplastic composition for cementing broken objects consists of 15 pts. polymerized iso-butylene, 15 pts. guttapercha, 15 pts. shellac and 5 pts. sulphur; (4) a brake-lining is obtained by impregnating a fabric made from asbestos and wire with polymerized iso-butylene, preferably in vacuo; (4) an anti-skid composition for tyres and belts consists of 20 pts. polymerized iso-butylene, 15 pts. petroleum, 10 pts. tallow and 5 pts. bleached montan-wax.  The mixture is applied while heating.  (6) An impregnating mass for fly papers consists of 45 pts. polymerized iso-butylene, 10 pts. linseed oil and 5 pts. bleached montan wax. This is mixed with sugar and applied to paper.  (9) An adhesive plaster is obtained by rolling a thin layer of polymerized iso-butylene on to textile material. Antiseptic substances may be added if desired.  (11) A cleaning-composition is obtained by mixing 38.4 pts. of polymerized iso-butylene, 27.9 pts. talc, 28.9 pts. tung oil gel, 5.7 pts. of mineral oil and a small amount of glycerine. This composition may be used for cleaning solid surfaces, e.g. wall-paper type or sculpture.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.ALSO:Coating, impregnating, waterproofing, and like compositions comprise an adhesive consisting of a polymer of high molecular weight of an aliphatic mono-olefine having a branched carbon chain, e.g. iso-butylene, and a waxy material, with or without a filler and/or a solvent.
