A sealing system and sealing composition are provided for inflatable articles containing air under pressure. The sealing composition includes particles or particulates of three-dimensional shapes having sharp corners thereon which tend to dig into the article around the opening and wedge themselves therein. The sealing composition also includes fibers, at least some of which are fibrillated. The fibers tend to wrap around the particles and further plug the leak opening. The particles and the fib...

There is disclosed a water-preventing sealant with plasticity, comprising 10 to 60% by weight of a gelled base oil (i) obtained by conducting a gelling reaction of a mixture of 100 parts by weight of an oil, 10 to 100 parts by weight of a fatty acid and a metal hydroxide or oxide contained in an amount sufficient to convert the fatty acid into a metal salt, and 40 to 90% by weight of at least one member (ii) selected from the group consisting of natural and synthetic water-swellable clay mineral...

A free aggregate usable in forming wood concrete products is formed of a plurality of individual wood pinchips encased in kaolin to a degree sufficient to seal in water soluble "cement poisons" held in the pores of the chips, while maintaining the individual chips in a free aggregate form. The product is formed by a process which includes the step of encasing the individual particles with a mineralizing coating of the kaolin to a degree sufficient to seal in the water soluble cement poisons. As ...
