Process for applying adhesive product for adhering roofing sheets to a building roof

Abstract

The subject invention is a process for applying adhesive product for adhering roof covering sheets to the upper surface of a building, such process comprising applies in the following products in various combination ratios: (a) synthetic rubber and resin; (b) toluene; (c) cyclohexane; (d) dearomatised petrol; With such product being applied by utilizing a spraying device to apply such product in an even layered film and then adhering to the bottom surfaces of a roofing sheet over such applied film. This positioning of the rubber roof sheets is preferably consummated immediately after the application of the adhesive product. Additionally certain other compounds may be added to the above product to minimize the viscosity of the product and render the product more compatible with the environment.

Description

C. DISCUSSION OF PRIOR ART AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The application of protective roofing sheets, particularly rubber roofing sheets, to the upper surface of a roof, involves the use and application of an adhesive product applied to the upper surface of the roof infrastructure. After a minimum limited waiting period of approximately ten minutes, the bottom surfaces of the roofing sheets are adhered flush against the upper surface portion of the roof infrastructure on which the adhesive material is applied. This minimum waiting period causes problems of the inefficiency in the overall installation process. This adhering process is adapted to create a firm bond between the upper surface of the roof structure and the roof covering sheets, and with the adhesive undersurface it creates a more substantial moisture barrier to protect the integrity of the roof. In the existing art, the adhesive glues or other substances presently used to create this adhesion between the covering sh...

Benefits of technology

Yet another object of the subject invention is to provide an improved roof sheet adhering process that is relatively economical and safe to use from an environmental perspective.

Problems solved by technology

This minimum waiting period causes problems of the inefficiency in the overall installation process.

Because of this high viscosity, the process of applying the adhesive substance to the roof infrastructure requires a heavy duty, high pressure spray mechanism that involves expensive equipment.

This itself has proven to be a time consuming procedure.

These globs or imperfections potentially eventually lead to blistering or bubble-like rises which ultimately lessen the adhesive strength the bond between the rubber roof sheets and the base roof structure.

Another problem in the use of existing adhesive material for fixing rubber roof sheets to a building structure is the toxicity and environmental aspect.

Almost all existing adhesive substances on the market and in use today are comprised of chemicals that are dangerous to the environment and potentially toxic to humans.
