Reversible polymer gels comprising: n (a) 55-98% by weight based on the total polymers contained in the gel, of an elastomeric copolymer of vinylidene fluoride comprising, in moles, 55-85% of vinylidene fluoride, 15-45% of hexafluoropropene and 0-30% of tetrafluoroethylene; n (b) 2-45% based on the total polymers contained in the gel, of a non-elastomeric polymer selected from non-elastomeric VDF-based polymers, or polyvinylfluoride, or acrylic resins, for example polyalkylmethacrylates and copolymers of alkylmethacrylates with alkylacrylates, having T g >50° C. n Said polymer gels can be used as protective and consolidating agents for stone materials, for preparing insulating and impermeable films and for impregnating fiber textiles. |
