The properties of PC make it suitable for the repair of concrete structures and for the placement of impermeable, skid-resistant overlays. PC patching can be cast-in-place and will cure rapidly over a wide range of temperatures (20/sup 0/F to 100/sup 0/F), develop high strengths in a few hours, and bond well to portland cement concrete. Two methods of application and several monomer systems have been used with success for the installation of PC overlays. To date, the feasibility of using PC liners for steel pipe, vessels, or tanks to extend their service life in geothermal environments has been confirmed. Aggressive corrosive fluids do not cause deterioration in specially designed PC at temperatures close to 250/sup 0/C. Commercial methods for the application of such liners have been developed and shown to be cost effective. The insulation of LNG impounding dike installations with IPC composites has been shown to be feasible. The safety benefits accrued from such installations will reduce the hazards of explosive mixtures in the event of an accidental LNG spill. The use of IPC as a dike insulation will be implemented as early as spring 1985. 17 references, 16 figures.
