Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
TPO and PVC building membranes are disclosed that comprise RFID tags that are capable of storing identifying information. The RFID tags may be embedded in the membranes. By appropriate positioning of the RFID tags in the core layer of the TPO and PVC membranes, the properties of the membranes such as waterproofness and strength are not degraded by the presence of the tags and the functionality of the tags is not compromised by the manufacturing process. A method of manufacturing the membranes is also disclosed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A building membrane comprising one or more RFID tags, wherein the one or more RFID tags are embedded in a core layer of the membrane, wherein the membrane comprises thermoplastic olefin or polyvinyl chloride, wherein the membrane further comprises a scrim layer and a cap layer, and wherein the one or more RFID tags are positioned beneath the scrim layer. 2. The building membrane of claim 1 , wherein the scrim layer is positioned between the cap layer and the core layer. 3. The building membrane of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the cap layer is between about 15 mil to about 40 mil. 4. The building membrane of claim 1 , wherein the building membrane is a roofing membrane. 5. A roll of the building membrane of claim 1 . 6. A method of manufacturing the building membrane of claim 1 , comprising the step of passing the building membrane between calendar rollers. 7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising the step of reading information from the one or more RFID tags.
