Description

[0001] The invention relates to an elongated sealing strip for construction purposes, in particular for sealing joints and gaps when installing windows and doors in the shell of a building, as well as for general joints.

[0002] To optimize the energy efficiency of buildings, joints, which occur particularly during the installation of doors and windows between building components, must be sealed using suitable materials. Sealing such joints is also important to prevent the unwanted ingress of wind, rain, and moisture. Furthermore, sealing joints can be crucial for fire protection, sound insulation, or protection against moisture.

[0003] For this purpose, various pre-compressed and usually impregnated sealing tapes are known from the prior art. These sealing tapes have an elastic foam strip that is pre-compressed so that it expands slowly after being unrolled. The foam strip is generally made of polyurethane. An adhesive layer is applied to one side of the foam strip, allowing the sealing tape to be bonded to a component. A disadvantage of these pre-compressed sealing tapes is that the expansion rate of the foam strip depends on the ambient temperature. This leads to problems during installation, as the expansion occurs so rapidly at warm temperatures that there is insufficient time to install the window or door after the sealing tape has been applied. The installer must work quickly after applying the sealing tape, which significantly increases the error rate.Furthermore, during the installation of windows or doors, the partially decompressed foam strip can bear a load. At low temperatures, the significantly delayed recovery leads to a delay in sealing. Additionally, pre-compressed sealing tapes are only suitable for a limited range of joint widths. Therefore, several dimensions of pre-compressed sealing tapes must always be kept in stock on a construction site. This increases the space and material requirements and raises the risk of selecting an unsuitable sealing tape for a given joint. Another disadvantage is that the foam's sealing properties against the wall are limited, as the seal relies solely on the expansion of the foam and the resulting pressure against the wall.

[0004] DE 20 2008 011758 U1 relates to a sealing tape for joint sealing, which consists of a highly elastic material and has a stabilizing element that is designed as an adhesive strip applied to the back.

[0005] CA 3 093 870 A1 relates to a sealing strip for sealing joints in the construction sector, comprising a wedge-shaped base body with a structural element extending therein.

[0006] A resilient sealing tape is known from EP 1 959 064 A1. This elastically resilient sealing tape comprises an elastically resilient foam strip held in a compressed state by a releasable seam made of at least one thread. The foam strip is inserted into the joint to be sealed, and releasing the seam triggers the foam strip's return to its original shape. The seam can be unintentionally released during insertion, and the foam strip can slip when the seam is released, negatively impacting the seal.

[0007] From DE 296 13 232 U1, a prefabricated wedge-shaped sealing strip for construction purposes is known. The sealing strip, made of a flexible plastic material, can be pressed into the area to be sealed. A disadvantage is that, due to the flexible plastic material, the sealing strip is difficult to press into narrow joints.

[0008] The present invention is therefore based on the objective of creating an improved sealing element with which joints in buildings, in particular joints between windows and doors and the adjacent masonry, can be sealed quickly, for a long time and reliably.

[0009] In particular, the sealing element should be applicable to materials commonly used in construction, such as masonry, concrete, wood, plastic or metal, and exhibit good adhesion and sealing properties on these materials.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing element should be suitable for sealing joints in various applications and of different widths and uneven or irregular surfaces.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing element should allow a joint to be sealed quickly and reliably, regardless of the ambient temperature.

[0012] Furthermore, the sealing element should seal a joint against both sides forming the joint with at least approximately the same quality.

[0013] This problem is solved with a sealing strip having the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are described in further claims, the following description, and the figures.

[0014] The sealing strip, suitable for sealing joints, preferably in construction, and in particular for sealing joints between windows or doors and masonry, has an elongated base body bounded by a first side with an adhesive layer, a second side with an adhesive layer, a first end face, and a second end face. The base body is made of a deformable foam material. The deformable base body allows for optimal adaptation and thus optimized sealing against uneven surfaces and varying joint widths.

[0015] According to the invention, the first cheek side is concave with respect to the base body. The first cheek side adapts optimally to the substrate to which it is to be bonded. At the same time, the alignment of the cheek side on the component can still be readjusted, since the concave shape prevents or significantly reduces direct and strong bonding of the adhesive layer arranged on the first cheek side to the component. Unwanted bonding in an undesired position is thus considerably reduced. The sealing strip is torsionally stable, so that unwanted twisting along the axis of the sealing strip is prevented or at least significantly reduced during application. This prevents the adhesive layers from bonding in a twisted position of the sealing strip. This facilitates the processing of the sealing strip and accelerates the sealing process. Furthermore, the quality and uniformity of the bond are improved.Furthermore, the sealing strip can be glued in a positionally accurate manner along the depth of the joint.

[0016] In the context of the present invention, concave means that one side is curved inwards relative to the base body. In addition to the examples shown in the present invention, the following are considered concave in the context of the present invention: Figur 1a The concave shape shown also includes a recess, one or more grooves, a depression, or a milled structure. A further definition of concave within the meaning of the present invention is given in the Figuren 2g und 2h shown and described in the corresponding section of the description.

[0017] In the context of the present invention, convex means that a side surface is curved outwards relative to the base body.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the first cheek side is at least partially covered by a strip of film covering the adhesive layer to prevent unintentional adhesion. Particularly preferably, the second cheek side is also at least partially covered by a strip of film covering the adhesive layer to prevent unintentional adhesion. The film strip is preferably easily removable by hand, exposing the adhesive layer so that it can be bonded to the window, door, or masonry.

[0019] In a further preferred embodiment, at least one foil strip has a projection that extends beyond the sides of the foil. This makes it easier to peel off the foil strip.

[0020] In a further preferred embodiment, the second cheek side is concave with respect to the base body. This shape allows the second cheek side to adapt optimally to the substrate to which it is to adhere. Furthermore, this shape reduces unwanted adhesion during the positioning of the sealing strip on a component.

[0021] The base body is preferably made of a foam material that is at least approximately open-cell. The base body is thus compressible and exhibits expansion behavior that is optimal for applications in the construction sector. In a preferred embodiment, the base body is made of a closed-cell extruded foam material, which is made at least approximately open-cell by mechanical post-treatment. This post-treatment can be carried out, for example, by puncturing with one or more needles, thereby opening a large proportion of the closed cells and thus making them open-cell. A corresponding method for mechanical post-treatment is described in BE 1026558. Materials and manufacturing processes that result in a closed-cell foam material can thus be made open-cell, and the material properties can be optimized for the application.Preferably, at least 70-80%, more preferably at least 80-90%, and most preferably at least 91-99% of the cells are made open-cell through mechanical post-treatment. The foam material is thus highly compressible and simultaneously airtight and resistant to driving rain.

[0022] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the concave first cheek side has several indentations, and / or the concave first cheek side has on both sides a transition surface aligned along the auxiliary plane (HE), which is defined by a lateral boundary of the first end face and a lateral boundary of the second end face.

[0023] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the base body has a stiffening zone which exhibits increased compression strength (according to DIN ISO 3386-01) compared to the rest of the base body. This property is preferably achieved by the stiffening zone having a lower proportion of open-cell foam cells compared to the rest of the base body. This is preferably achieved by applying less mechanical post-treatment to the stiffening zone compared to the rest of the base body. The stiffening zone improves the mechanical properties of the base body and allows for customization.

[0024] It is particularly advantageous for the first and second adhesive layers to contain different adhesives. This allows the adhesive properties to be tailored to the specific materials of the components.

[0025] Suitable adhesives include known adhesives, such as methacrylate-based adhesives as described in DE 296 13 232 U1. A polyolefin-based hot melt adhesive is particularly suitable as a low-tack adhesive. A rubber-based pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesive is particularly suitable as a high-tack adhesive. The film strip covering the adhesive layer is preferably a siliconized film.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the first adhesive layer comprises a high-tack adhesive. The second adhesive layer preferably comprises a low-tack adhesive. In a preferred embodiment, the tack of the first adhesive layer (loop tack according to FINAT 9) is at least three times, preferably at least five times, and particularly preferably at least ten times, the tack of the second adhesive layer (loop tack according to FINAT 9).

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment, the second adhesive layer comprises a high-tack adhesive. The first adhesive layer preferably comprises a low-tack adhesive. In a preferred embodiment, the tack of the second adhesive layer (loop tack according to FINAT 9) is at least three times, preferably at least five times, and particularly preferably at least ten times, the tack of the first adhesive layer (loop tack according to FINAT 9).

[0028] Preferably, the first adhesive layer comprises two parallel, elongated adhesive strips separated from each other by an intermediate zone not covered with adhesive. This allows the film strip to be easily removed from the adhesive layer.

[0029] The second adhesive layer preferably covers only the central part of the second cheek side.

[0030] The base body is preferably made of a thermoplastic foam material. Soft open-cell, semi-open-cell, or closed-cell foams, particularly those based on polyolefin, PVC, or polystyrene, or combinations thereof, are preferably used. The foam material is preferably unimpregnated. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the base body is made of an ethylene butyl acrylate-based and / or an ethylene vinyl acrylate-based polymer material. In a preferred embodiment, the base body is made of a cross-linked polymer material. The sealing strip thus exhibits aging resistance suitable for the construction industry.

[0031] The average cell size of the foam material is preferably 0.6 mm to 1.5 mm, more preferably 0.9 mm to 1.5 mm. The average cell size is defined here as the diameter of a sphere with the same volume as the average cell.

[0032] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the first end face and / or the second end face are convex with respect to the base body. This convex shape increases the torsional stability of the sealing strip, thus preventing or at least significantly reducing unwanted twisting along the strip's axis during application. This prevents the adhesive layers from bonding in a twisted position of the sealing strip. This facilitates the application of the sealing strip and accelerates the sealing process. Furthermore, the quality and uniformity of the bond are improved. In addition, the sealing strip can be bonded with precise positioning along the depth of the joint. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the first end face of the sealing strip's base body has a cross-section that is at least approximately circular or elliptical segment-shaped.Preferably, the second end face of the base body of the sealing strip has a cross-section that is at least approximately circular segment or elliptical segment. According to the invention, the first end face and the second end face are designed to be mirror images of each other.

[0033] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sealing strip is designed to be rolled up. This allows the elongated sealing strip to be transported and stored in a space-saving manner.

[0034] The sealing strip is preferably rollable in such a way that the same strip of film covers both the adhesive layer on the first cheek side and the adhesive layer on the second cheek side on each side, preventing them from sticking together. Both adhesive layers can thus be covered with just a single strip of film.

[0035] The base body preferably has a density of at most 50kg / m 3< , particularly preferably at most 30kg / m 3< .

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment, the width of the base body essentially corresponds to the height of the base body. The width here denotes the distance between the first cheek surface and the second cheek surface. The height denotes the distance between the first end face and the second end face.

[0037] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the base body has a compression hardness (according to DIN ISO 3386-01) at 50% compression of a maximum of 30 kPa, preferably a maximum of 15 kPa, and particularly preferably a maximum of 7 kPa. The compression hardness is low enough to allow a window frame to be moved manually into the final position of the screw connection against the sealing strip. At the same time, the compression hardness is high enough to ensure that the base body is pressed firmly against the window frame, thus guaranteeing a tight seal at the joint.

[0038] The sealing strips according to the invention are preferably suitable for sealing joints with widths between 3 mm and 200 mm, more preferably between 3 mm and 150 mm, even more preferably between 3 mm and 100 mm, and most preferably between 4 mm and 60 mm. For different joint widths, preferably a single sealing strip or at least a small number of differently dimensioned sealing strips can be used, which reduces the space and storage requirements on a construction site. The sealing strip preferably has dimensions of 5 to 400 mm in width and / or height. Before installation, the length of the sealing strip is preferably several meters, and the sealing strip can be easily cut to any required length.

[0039] The first end face of the base body and / or the second end face of the base body is preferably rainproof or airtight according to DIN 18542 / EN1027 or according to ift guideline MO-01 / 1. In a preferred embodiment, the base body is rainproof or airtight according to DIN 18542 / EN1027. Rainproof in this context means, in particular, airtight against a pressure of more than 600 Pa.

[0040] The production of the sealing strip is not subject to any special restrictions and is carried out using methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0041] Preferably, the sealing strip is produced by extrusion, particularly preferably by co-extrusion, lamination or by assembly.

[0042] The use of a sealing strip according to the invention for sealing a joint between a masonry or timber structure and a window or door is also the subject of this invention.

[0045] Fig. 1b shows a sealing strip 1 according to the invention with the base body 11 made of Fig. 1a In addition to the ones in Fig. 1a In the components shown, an adhesive layer 13, 13' is arranged on each of the cheek sides 111, 111'. The adhesive layers 13, 13' cover the corresponding cheek sides 111, 111' over a large area along their length.

[0046] Fig. 1c shows the sealing strip 1 from Fig. 1b with an adhesive layer 13 covered by a foil strip 14. The foil strip 14 is designed such that both the cheek side 111 and the adhesive layer 13 arranged on it are completely covered. A projection 14A, 14B is formed on both sides of the foil strip 14.

[0047] Fig. 2a shows the sealing strip 1 from Fig. 1b in a cross-section. The base body 11 is bounded by two side faces 111, 111' and two end faces 112, 112'.

[0051] Fig. 2e Figure 1 shows a fifth embodiment of a sealing strip 1 according to the invention in cross-section. In addition to the one shown in Figure 1, the following applies: Fig. 2c In the form shown, the base body 11 has a stiffening zone 11A, which extends from the first end face 112 to the second end face 112'. The stiffening zone 11A is integrated into the base body 11 and transitions seamlessly into it.

[0052] Fig. 2f Figure 1 shows a sixth embodiment of a sealing strip 1 according to the invention in cross-section. In the embodiment shown, the adhesive layer 13 is configured as two non-contacting strips which only partially cover the first cheek side 111. The adhesive layer 13' on the second cheek side 111 only partially covers it.

[0053] Fig. 2g shows the basic body 11 from Fig. 1a in a cross-section. The auxiliary plane HE is defined by the lateral boundary 1121 of the first end face 112 and the lateral boundary 1121' of the second end face 112'. The auxiliary plane HE forms the conceptual boundary up to which, in the sense of the present invention, the term concave is used. Concave in the sense of the present invention means that the first cheek face 111 is located, at least predominantly, on the side facing the base body 11 relative to the auxiliary plane HE.

[0054] Fig. 2h Figure 1 shows the basic body 11 of a seventh embodiment according to the invention in a cross-section. The first cheek side 111 is concave with respect to the auxiliary plane HE and has two indentations.

The transition surfaces 1111, 1112 each abut the respective lateral boundaries 1121, 1121' of the end faces 112, 112'.

[0055] Fig. 3 Figure 1 shows a sealing strip 1 according to the invention in a joint 7. The base body 11 is at least partially compressed, whereby the cheek sides 111, 111' and the adhesive layers 13, 13' arranged thereon are pressed at least partially against the masonry 8 and the window or door 9. The adhesive layers 13, 13' bond to the masonry 8 and the window or door 9, thereby improving the sealing and adhesion of the sealing strip 1.

[0056] Fig. 4a bis Fig. 4d Illustrate the use according to the invention of a sealing strip 1 according to the invention for sealing a joint 7.

[0057] Fig. 4a Figure 8 shows a schematic brickwork and a schematic window or door 9 with a sealing strip 1 aligned along it.

[0058] Fig. 4b The brickwork 8 and the window or door 9 are shown. Fig. 4a with sealing strip 1 arranged on the masonry 8. The foil strip of the sealing strip 1 is opposite the Fig. 4a has been removed. Due to the concave shape of the first cheek side 111, the base body 11 is only lightly bonded to the masonry 8 at its edges. The sealing strip 1 thus remains in the desired mounting position. At the same time, the sealing strip 1 can also be easily detached from the masonry 8 and repositioned if it is incorrectly positioned. The base body 11 can be compressed by pressing it against the masonry 8, so that the first cheek side 111 and the adhesive layer 13 attached to it are pressed against the masonry 8 and thus bonded.

[0059] Fig. 4c The brickwork 8 and the window or door 9 are shown. Fig. 4b with a sealing strip 1 adhered to the masonry 8. By bonding the adhesive layer 13 to the masonry 8, the first cheek side 111 is aligned coplanarly with the masonry 8 and remains in this geometric shape. The adhesive layer 13' on the second cheek side 111' is exposed, so that a window or door 9 can be pressed against it.

[0060] Fig. 4d shows a joint 7 formed between the masonry 8 and the window or door 9. Fig. 4c with a sealing strip 1 that seals the joint. The window or door 9 is bonded to the sealing strip 1 via the adhesive layer 13'. The base body 11 is at least slightly compressed, so that a restoring and sealing force is exerted from the base body 11 on the masonry 8 and the window or door 9. The sealing effect is further improved by the bonding on both sides.

[0061] Fig. 5a Figure 1 shows a corner joint 7 sealed with two sealing strips 1, 1' in a top view. The two sealing strips 1 and 1' have been shortened so that the corner area is sealed by the base bodies 11 of the respective sealing strips 1 and 1'. The sealing strips 1, 1' are each bonded to the masonry 8 and the window or door 9.

[0062] Fig. 5b Figure 1 shows a corner joint 7 sealed with a sealing strip 1 in a top view. The sealing strip 1 is continuously bonded to the window or door 9 along the corner. On the opposite side, the sealing strip 1 is also continuously bonded to the masonry along the corner. The corner area is sealed only by the base body 11. Due to the partially compressed base body, it exerts a force along the arrows. This ensures good contact pressure against the wall 8 in the corner area and the opposite window or door 9.

[0063] Also according to the invention is any combination of the embodiments of the sealing strip described in the figures and the description. In particular, individual features of the described embodiments can be combined with one another according to the invention. The sealing strip according to the invention is not only suitable for sealing joints in the construction sector, but is also suitable for joints in mechanical engineering, the automotive sector, or other fields.
