Embodiment approach
[0090] According to one or more embodiments, the waterproof layer consists of a composition comprising:
[0091] a) thermoplastic elastomer components P and
[0092] b) at least one elastomer E,
[0093] Wherein the thermoplastic elastomer component P comprises at least one thermoplastic elastomer P1.
[0094] The ratio of the amounts of the thermoplastic elastomer component P and the at least one elastomer E depends on the intended application of the sealing device. Increasing the proportion of at least one elastomer in the polymer base of the composition improves the flexibility of the waterproofing layer. This may be advantageous in some applications, for example in the waterproofing of roof structures.
[0095] According to one or more embodiments, the composition of the waterproof layer comprises as a polymer base the following:
[0096] a) 25 - 85 wt%, preferably 35 - 80 wt%, more preferably 45 - 75 wt% of thermoplastic elastomer component P and
[0097] b) 5 - 60 w...
Embodiment
[0182] An exemplary fleece-backed TPO membrane was prepared by thermally laminating a nonwoven layer composed of polypropylene fibers on the back of a commercially available TPO membrane and an in-house fabricated flexible TPO membrane. The weldability was tested with the prepared TPO films laminated with nonwovens of different thicknesses on the back side. The results of the solderability test are shown in Table 2.
[0183] TS 77 is a TPO based multilayer roof waterproofing sheet available from Sika Schweiz AG.
[0184] Non-woven fabrics composed of polypropylene fibers are known under the trade name RKW Obtained from RKW Hydrospun (Germany).
[0185] Flexible TPO membranes were prepared according to the procedure described below.
[0186] Preparation of flexible TPO membrane
[0187] Flexible films were produced using a laboratory-scale extrusion-calendering apparatus consisting of a twin-screw extruder (Berstorff GmbH), a flat die and a set of water-cooled calender...
