Benefits of technology

[0005] In surmounting the disadvantages of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for joining two or more building materials involving the use of a membrane assembly having differing pressure-sensitive surfaces on opposing major faces. The method is suitable for building applications whereby surface components, such as plywood, foamboard, particle bo

example 1

[0046] This example provides a demonstration that the less-initially-tacky pressure sensitive layer 13 (outermost, see e.g., FIG. 1) exhibits low initial adhesion value, but thereafter demonstrates stronger “aged” adhesion value (e.g., stronger adhesion after a period of time during which it is pressed against a substrate).

[0047] Exemplary less-initially-tacky pressure sensitive layers 13 exhibit an (initial) adhesion value of less than or equal to 0.5 pounds per lineal inch when tested in accordance with standard peel adhesion test, which is described again hereinbelow as follows. Preferably, the less-initially-tacky pressure-sensitive adhesive layers exhibit an initial adhesion value of less than or equal to 0.5 pounds per lineal inch when tested in accordance with a standard peel adhesion test. A 3″×8″ piece of two-sided tape is used. A release liner is left in contact with the pressure sensitive layer 11. The less-initially-tacky, pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 13 is applied...

Abstract

Methods and structures involving the use of a double-sided adhesive membrane assembly having one adhesive surface with low initial tackiness to permit a substrate to be re-positionable even if pressed into contact against the adhesive. The method allows wood deck components, flooring planks, roofing tiles, and other building material components to be fastened together conveniently while securing a waterproofing and/or sound-deadening effect.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to methods for fastening two or more building materials together to achieve improved structural integrity and sound-deadening effects, and more particularly to a two-sided adhesive membrane assembly for attaching flooring, decking, roofing, wall components, and the like to mounting substrates. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Adhesives are available for achieving improved structural integrity and bonding between common building materials such as subfloor installations. Heavy-duty adhesives sold by ICI Paints under the tradename LIQUID NAILS® are sold, for example, for increasing the structural integrity of walls and subfloor systems. These liquid adhesives can be used with, plywood, foamboard, particle board, lumber and treated lumber, waferboard, and OSB. Such a construction adhesive provides for “quiet” floor assemblies in that the adhesive is said to eliminate squeaking between boards and between the boards and nails. ...
