[0001] ADHESIVE FOR BONDING SOFT PVC MEMBRANES
[0002] Technical area
[0003] The invention relates to the bonding of waterproofing membranes made of soft PVC with epoxy resin-based adhesives.
[0004] State of the art
[0005] Plastic membranes for waterproofing foundations, drainage systems, underground shafts, tunnels, or roofs are often made of soft PVC. To create a waterproof surface, membranes are laid out in overlapping sheets and then bonded together using a suitable process. Soft PVC membranes are usually laid in sheets and typically welded to join the sheets. The underlying membrane is heated with hot air until the PVC melts, and then pressed onto the upper membrane so that the two membranes are joined with a weld seam after cooling. To create a watertight surface, double seams are usually welded, which can be checked for leaks using compressed air. This process is quite complex and not possible with certain coated membranes. As an alternative to welding, membranes can also be glued.In tunnel construction or when sealing foundations, the membranes are also bonded to the structure, typically to a concrete or mortar substrate. However, bonding soft PVC membranes with state-of-the-art adhesives is unsatisfactory, as these adhere only weakly to soft PVC and / or detach over time.
[0006] The epoxy resin adhesives used in construction for a wide variety of applications are generally permanently resistant to moisture and develop high adhesive strengths on a wide variety of substrates, such as concrete, mortar, steel, or fiberglass or carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials. However, they typically exhibit insufficient adhesion to untreated soft PVC.
[0007] To achieve good adhesion with epoxy resin adhesives, PVC membranes can be pretreated with an adhesion-promoting coating, or specially coated membrane strips can be used, which can be bonded with epoxy resin adhesives. Such specially coated membrane strips are welded to the PVC membrane to enable bonding of the membrane to the substrate. However, this process is very complex, and it would therefore be advantageous to have adhesives that enable permanent and moisture-resistant bonding of non-specially pretreated soft PVC membranes.
[0008] The use of dimethylamino group-containing amines such as 3-(3-dimethylaminopropylamino)propylamine as co-hardeners for epoxy resins to achieve high compressive strengths is known from the prior art, for example from EP 3,336,120.
[0009] Description of the invention
[0010] The object of the present invention is therefore to provide an adhesive for bonding membranes made of soft PVC, which enables a long-lasting, resilient adhesive bond with high resistance to the influence of heat and moisture, even without complex pretreatment or coating of the membrane.
[0011] Surprisingly, this object is achieved by using an adhesive according to claim 1. The epoxy resin adhesive used comprises a hardener component containing at least one amine A1 having at least one dimethylamino group and at least one amine hydrogen, and at least one further amine A2 having at least three amine hydrogens, wherein the content of amines A1 is 10 to 45% by weight, preferably 15 to 40% by weight, based on the sum of all liquid or dissolved constituents contained in the hardener component. Surprisingly, such a combination of amines enables good adhesion to untreated membranes made of soft PVC while simultaneously providing high resistance of the bond to the effects of moisture. Corresponding adhesives with a lower content of amine A1 show insufficient or no adhesion to soft PVC, whereas adhesives with a higher content of amine A1 result in bonds with insufficient water resistance.Furthermore, it has been shown that amines with dimethylamino groups, which are free of amine hydrogens, also result in bonds with insufficient water resistance.
[0012] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, a combination of at least one amine A2-1 with an amine hydrogen equivalent weight of at least 80 g / eq, preferably at least 90 g / eq, and one amine A2-2 with two primary amino groups and four amine hydrogens is used as amine A2. Such a hardener enables low-emission adhesives with a high filler content and very good adhesion to soft PVC, which are particularly suitable for bonding soft PVC to concrete or mortar surfaces. Combinations of 3-(3-dimethylaminopropylamino)propylamine as amine A1, isophoronediamine as amine A2-2, and at least one amine selected from phenalkamines, phenalkamides, and amine-functional adducts of N-benzyl-1,2-ethanediamine with polyepoxides as amine A2-1 are particularly suitable.
[0013] The inventive use enables the bonding of soft PVC membranes to a variety of substrates, in particular to concrete or mortar, as is common, for example, in tunnel construction. In particular, even non-specially coated waterproofing membranes made of soft PVC can be bonded directly and permanently to concrete, mortar, or other substrate surfaces without further pretreatment. Furthermore, the inventive use enables the bonding of soft PVC membranes to one another and the bonding of soft PVC membranes to other membranes, for example those made of polyolefin, in particular surface-modified polyethylene. The resulting adhesive bond is stable and resistant to heat and moisture. In particular, the adhesive bond has a peel strength of at least 1 N / mm, preferably at least 1.5 N / mm, after storage for 28 days at 70°C and 100% relative humidity.
[0014] Further aspects of the invention are the subject of further independent claims. Particularly preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims. Ways of carrying out the invention

[0108] - Isophoronediamine,
[0109] - at least one amine A2-1 having an amine hydrogen equivalent weight of at least 80 g / eq, preferably at least 90 g / eq,
[0110] - 60 to 90% by weight mineral fillers and, if necessary, other ingredients.
[0111] The epoxy resins and the reactive diluents containing epoxy groups are part of the resin component, the amines are part of the hardener component and the mineral fillers and any other components present are part of the resin and / or the hardener component or can be present as a separate, additional component.
[0112] Suitable soft PVC membranes for the inventive use are commercially available membranes such as those used for sealing tunnels, foundations, bridges, roofs, silos, swimming pools, sewage treatment plants, ponds, or tanks. They consist largely of plasticized polyvinyl chloride, typically with plasticizer contents of 20 to 50% by weight based on the entire membrane. They have a thickness of 1 to 5 mm and are usually available in the form of rolled sheets with a width of approximately 0.2 to 3 m. For use, they are typically cut to the desired size and / or joined together by hot-air welding. The soft PVC membrane can contain an internal polyester fabric or glass fiber fleece for reinforcement.
[0113] Some commercially available soft PVC membranes have visually distinct top and bottom surfaces. In the case of membranes used underground, for example, for sealing tunnels or foundations, the top and bottom surfaces are typically pigmented differently to provide a better overview during installation. Sikaplan® WP 2110-21 HL (from Sika), for example, has a yellow-pigmented top surface and a black-pigmented bottom surface, with the black-pigmented bottom surface resting on the substrate to be waterproofed.
[0114] Membranes for roof waterproofing also typically have a differently colored top and bottom. In certain roof waterproofing membranes, the top side is coated with a particularly light- and UV-stable layer.
[0115] Particularly suitable membranes made of soft PVC for the use according to the invention are the products from Sika available under the brand names Sikaplan® or Sarnafil®, for example Sikaplan® WP 1100, Sikaplan® WP 2110, Sarnafil® G 410 (with UV-stable surface seal), Sarnafil® S 327 (with UV-stable surface seal), Sikaplan® G, Sikaplan® VG, Sikaplan® SGmA, as well as membranes made of soft PVC from other suppliers.
[0116] Both the top and bottom of the membrane can be glued. Typically, the bottom of the membrane is glued.
[0117] A key aspect of the inventive use is that it is not necessary to use a soft PVC membrane with an adhesion-promoting surface coating to achieve a resilient adhesive bond. In particular, it is not necessary to apply a primer or activator to the membrane prior to applying the adhesive. Furthermore, it is not necessary to use a special membrane that is fully or partially coated with a surface coating to improve adhesion, as is the case, for example, with Sikaplan® WP Tape-200 (from Sika).
[0118] Thus, the soft PVC membrane for use according to the invention preferably does not have an adhesion-promoting surface coating.
[0119] However, it may be beneficial to clean the membrane of dust and dirt before bonding, for example by blowing, vacuuming, wiping, or cleaning with a solvent, for example. If a clean membrane is used fresh from the roll, such cleaning prior to use is typically not necessary.
[0120] Another substrate suitable for use according to the invention is in particular
[0121] - a plastic such as rigid and soft PVC, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyester, polyamide, PMMA, ABS, SAN, epoxy resins, phenolic resins, PUR, POM, TPO, PE, PP, EPM or EPDM, in each case untreated or surface-treated, for example by means of plasma, corona or flames;
[0122] - Concrete, mortar, cement screed, fiber cement, brick, tile, plaster, natural stones such as granite or marble, glass or glass ceramic;
[0123] - asphalt or bitumen;
[0124] - Repair or levelling compounds based on PCC (polymer-modified cement mortar) or ECC (epoxy resin-modified cement mortar);
[0125] - Fiber-reinforced plastics, such as carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP), glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GRP), natural fiber-reinforced plastics (NFRP) or sheet molding compounds (SMC);
[0126] - leather, textiles, paper, wood, wood materials bonded with resins, for example phenolic, melamine or epoxy resins, resin-textile composites or other so-called polymer composites;
[0127] - Metals or alloys such as aluminum, iron, steel, copper, other non-ferrous metals, including surface-treated metals or alloys such as galvanized or chrome-plated metals;
[0128] - Insulating foams, in particular made of EPS, XPS, PUR, PIR, rock wool, glass wool or foamed glass (foam glass); - Coated or painted substrates, in particular painted tiles, painted concrete, powder-coated metals or alloys or painted sheets, in particular sheets coated with polyvinylidene fluoride;
[0129] - Coatings, paints or varnishes, especially coated floors.
[0130] The additional substrate can be pretreated, if necessary, prior to applying the adhesive, in particular by physical and / or chemical cleaning processes or by applying an activator or primer. It is preferably not pretreated other than surface cleaning, in particular removing dust.
[0131] Preferably, the further substrate is selected from soft PVC, polyolefin, modified polyethylene, concrete, mortar, cement screed, fiber cement, brick, tile, natural stone, steel, metals coated with polyvinylidene fluoride and other plastics.
[0132] In a preferred embodiment of the use, the further substrate is a further membrane made of soft PVC, or a membrane made of another plastic such as in particular polyolefin, for example Sikaplan® WT 1200 (from Sika), or a membrane made of modified polyethylene such as in particular Hypalon®.
[0133] In a particularly preferred embodiment of the use, the further substrate is a non-flexible material with a solid surface, in particular concrete, mortar, cement screed, fiber cement, brick, tile, natural stone, steel, metals coated with polyvinylidene fluoride or other plastics such as rigid PVC, fiber-reinforced plastics or SMC, in particular concrete, mortar or metals coated with polyvinylidene fluoride.
[0134] Polyvinylidene fluoride-coated metals include, in particular, metal sheets, commercially available as Kynar® 500 (from Arkema) coated metal sheets, especially for roofing. The described adhesive exhibits surprisingly good adhesion to such coated metal sheets, which is particularly advantageous, for example, at transitions from pitched roof surfaces with a Kynar® 500 metal covering to flat roof surfaces sealed with a PVC membrane, or in flat roofs with Kynar® 500 metal frames, for permanently bonding the two materials. The use of the adhesive for bonding a soft PVC membrane to a polyvinylidene fluoride-coated metal is therefore particularly preferred.
[0135] For the inventive use, the resin and hardener components, and any other components present in the adhesive, are mixed using a suitable method. The mixing ratio is preferably selected such that the molar ratio of the groups reactive toward epoxy groups to the epoxy groups is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5, in particular 0.7 to 1.2. In parts by weight, the mixing ratio between the resin and hardener components is typically in the range of approximately 1:2 to 20:1, in particular 1:1 to 5:1.
[0136] The components are mixed continuously or batchwise using a suitable process, ensuring that the time between mixing the components and applying the mixed adhesive is not too long, so that the application is completed within the adhesive's pot life. Mixing and application of the adhesive preferably take place at ambient temperature, which typically ranges from approximately 5 to 40°C, preferably approximately 10 to 35°C.
[0137] For the use according to the invention, the mixed adhesive is applied to the soft PVC membrane and / or to the other substrate within the pot life.
[0138] The adhesive is preferably applied by hand using a spatula or trowel. It can also be applied from a cartridge or with a hydraulic conveyor system.
[0139] Preferably, the adhesive is applied in such an amount that after joining and pressing the substrates, the adhesive joint has a thickness of 0.5 to 10 mm, preferably 1 to 5 mm.
[0140] The soft PVC membrane can be bonded over the entire surface or in one or more partial areas. Bonding is preferably done in one or more partial areas. Following application of the mixed adhesive, the joint is joined within the adhesive's open time. The pot life and open time of the adhesive depend on its ingredients, the presence of accelerators, and the temperature. At room temperature, the open time is typically approximately 15 minutes to approximately 2 hours.
[0141] Depending on the geometry of the bond, it is advantageous to fix the bond after joining using a suitable method to prevent the joined parts from shifting as long as the adhesive has not yet cured enough to hold the joined parts in the selected position.
[0142] After the bond is formed, the adhesive cures. The adhesive preferably cures under ambient conditions.
[0143] The adhesive cures through a chemical reaction between the ingredients. The amine hydrogens of primary and secondary amino groups, and any other epoxy-reactive groups present, react with the epoxy groups, causing their ring opening. Furthermore, the dimethylamino groups present catalyze the homopolymerization of the epoxy groups. As a result of these reactions, the adhesive polymerizes and thus cures. Curing typically takes several hours to several days. The duration depends, among other things, on the temperature, the reactivity of the components, their stoichiometry, and the presence or amount of accelerators.
[0144] Another object of the invention is an adhesive composite obtained from the use as described above.
[0145] The adhesive bond preferably has an adhesive layer thickness of 0.5 to 10 mm, in particular 1 to 5 mm.
[0146] The adhesive bond preferably has a peel strength value of at least 1 N / mm, preferably at least 1.5 N / mm, determined both after a) 7 days of curing in standard climate, and after b) 7 days of curing in standard climate followed by 28 days of storage at 70 °C and 100% relative humidity followed by 3 days of storage in standard climate.
[0147] In the event that the soft PVC membrane is bonded to another membrane, the peel strength is determined according to DIN EN 14173 at a tensile speed of 100 mm / min.
[0148] In the case that the soft PVC membrane is bonded to a solid surface, the peel strength is determined in accordance with DIN EN 14173 at a pulling speed of 100 mm / min with a pulling angle of 90° between the soft PVC membrane and the solid surface.
[0149] The resulting adhesive bond is preferably part of a waterproofing system for tunnels, foundations, archive rooms, service rooms, sports stadiums, subway stations, underpasses, military installations, ponds, swimming pools, sewage treatment plants, silos, tanks, terraces or parking decks.
[0150] Furthermore, the adhesive bond obtained is preferably part of a roof seal, in particular a seal of slightly inclined roof surfaces, in particular flat roofs with ballast or mechanically fastened flat roofs.
[0151] The resulting adhesive bond is able to connect the bonded parts reliably and durably and enables reliable sealing against penetrating water and gases such as methane or radon.

The mixture was then hydrogenated at 65 °C, 75 bar hydrogen pressure, and a flow rate of 5 ml / min on a continuously operating hydrogenation apparatus with a Raney nickel fixed-bed catalyst. The hydrogenated solution was concentrated on a rotary evaporator at 65 °C, removing unreacted 3-dimethylaminopropylamine, water, and isopropanol. The resulting reaction mixture was purified by distillation at 130 °C under vacuum. A colorless liquid was obtained with a content of N-dimethylaminopropyl-1,3-bis(aminomethyl)benzene of > 97%, determined by GC, which was subsequently used as DMAP-MXDA.

A clear, slightly yellowish liquid was obtained.
[0182] Production of adhesives and bondings:
[0183] Examples 1 to 12:
[0184] For each example, a resin component (resin comp.) was prepared by mixing the resin component ingredients listed in Tables 1 and 2 in the specified amounts (in parts by weight) using a centrifugal mixer (SpeedMixer™ DAC 150, FlackTek Inc.) and storing the mixture in an atmosphere protected from moisture.
[0185] Furthermore, a hardener component (hardener comp.) was prepared for each example by mixing the hardener component ingredients listed in Tables 1 and 2 in the specified amounts (in parts by weight) using a centrifugal mixer and storing the mixture in a dry, dry place. For each example, the resin component and the hardener component were then processed into a homogeneous paste using a centrifugal mixer and immediately tested as follows:
[0186] The peel strength (T-Peel) was determined by bonding two 50 x 200 mm membrane strips (Sikaplan® WP 2110-21 HL, a waterproofing membrane for tunnel construction made of soft PVC, from Sika) onto a surface measuring 50 x 150 mm and with an adhesive thickness of 2 mm, ensuring that the two black sides were bonded together. For testing, the composites were pulled apart at an angle of 180° at a tensile speed of 100 mm / min in accordance with DIN EN 14173, and the strength was evaluated at the center 100 mm. The peel strength was determined after 7 days of curing under standard conditions (7d NK), as well as after additional storage for 28 days at 70 °C and 100% relative humidity (= cataplasm), followed by 3 days under standard conditions (+ 28d 70 / 100).
[0187] To determine the tensile strength of the adhesive, the mixed adhesive was applied to a silicone mold under standard climate conditions to form dumbbell-shaped test specimens with a thickness of 10 mm, a length of 150 mm, a web length of 80 mm and a web width of 10 mm. After 7 days, the specimens were removed from the mold and the tensile strength was determined according to EN ISO 527 at a tensile speed of 1 mm / min.
[0188] The results are presented in Tables 1 and 2. Examples marked with "(Ref.)" are comparative examples.
[0189] Table 1 shows that an adhesive without DMAPAPA (= Amine A1) (Example 1 (Ref.)) and an adhesive with too low a DMAPAPA content (Example 2 (Ref.)) exhibit insufficient peel strength and adhesion. Examples 3 and 4 with the inventive DMAPAPA content show good to very good adhesion to soft PVC with peel strength values of more than 1 MPa, even after the bond has been stored for 4 weeks in a warm, humid climate. The adhesive from Example 5 (Ref.) with too high a DMAPAPA content does show very good adhesion to soft PVC after curing in a standard climate, but after the bond has been stored for 4 weeks in a warm, humid climate, the peel strength and adhesion are insufficient. The bond has insufficient water resistance.

[0202] 4 Bonding of soft PVC with soft PVC
[0203] Further tests were conducted with the adhesives from Examples 4 and / or 9 as described below: The peel strength (T-Peel) was determined with additional soft PVC membranes as specified in Table 3 as previously described. In some cases, the peel strength was also tested after 7 days in a standard climate followed by 28 days immersed in deionized water at room temperature followed by 3 days in a standard climate (+ 28d H2O).
[0204] The tensile shear strength was tested on rigid PVC. Composites were created by bonding two untreated rigid PVC sheets together in such a way that the overlapping adhesive joint had dimensions of 12 x 25 mm and a thickness of 2 mm, with the sheets protruding at the ends. After storing the composites for 7 days under standard conditions, the tensile shear strength was tested according to DIN EN 1465 at a tensile speed of 20 mm / min.
[0205] The peel strength (T-Peel) was also determined on dry and damp concrete. For this purpose, a dry concrete garden slab was provided under standard conditions. Another garden slab was immersed in tap water for 24 hours and then dabbed dry with a cloth (= damp concrete). Three membrane strips (Sikaplan® WP 2110-21 HL, a waterproofing membrane for tunnel construction made of soft PVC, from Sika) measuring 50 x 200 mm were bonded to each of these concrete surfaces over an area measuring 50 x 150 mm with an adhesive thickness of 2 mm. After curing for 7 days under standard conditions, the bonded membrane was pulled away from the concrete surface at an angle of 90° at a tensile speed of 100 mm / min in accordance with DIN EN 14173, and the peel strength was evaluated over the middle 100 mm.
[0206] The peel strength (T-Peel) was also determined on a Kynar® metal. For this purpose, three 50 x 200 mm membrane strips (Sarnafil® S 327-15 EL, a soft PVC roofing membrane from Sika) were bonded to an aluminum sheet coated with polyvinylidene fluoride (Kynar® 500 from Arkema) over a surface area of 50 x 150 mm with an adhesive thickness of 2 mm without pretreatment. After curing for 7 days in a standard climate, the bonded membrane was pulled away from the concrete surface at an angle of 90° at a tensile speed of 100 mm / min in accordance with DIN EN 14173, and the peel strength was evaluated for the center 100 mm.
[0207] The results are shown in Table 3.
