Abstract

A sealing web including the following layer structure: a) a film containing polyvinyl chloride; b) a first adhesive; c) a polyethylene terephthalate film; and d) a second adhesive; wherein the layers are disposed in the sequence a), b), c), and d). The sealing web makes it possible to implement adhesion of a PVC web over a large area, without problems arising from the migration of the plasticizer from the PVC film to the adhesive, or in that said problems are at least greatly reduced.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A sealing membrane comprising the following layer structure:
a) a film containing polyvinyl chloride;
b) a first heat-activated adhesive based on (meth)acrylates;
c) a polyethylene terephthalate film; and
d) a second adhesive,
wherein the layers are arranged in the sequence a), b), c) and d).

2. The sealing membrane according claim 1 , wherein the second adhesive is a contact adhesive.

3. The sealing membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the polyethylene terephthalate film has a thickness in the range of 5 to 50 micrometers.

4. The sealing membrane according to claim 1 , wherein a layer b′) made of aluminum is arranged between the layer b) of the first heat-activated adhesive and the layer c) of the polyethylene terephthalate film.

5. The sealing membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing membrane is reinforced by fibers.

6. The sealing membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the sealing membrane has a projecting PVC strip in an edge area of the sealing membrane.

7. The sealing membrane according to claim 6 , wherein no second adhesive is present on the projecting PVC strip.

8. The sealing membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the layer of the second adhesive is in contact with a separating film on a side opposite to the side of the polyethylene terephthalate film.

9. A composite body comprising:
the sealing membrane according to claim 1 ; and
a substrate glued to the sealing membrane by means of the second adhesive of the sealing membrane.

10. The composite body according to claim 9 , wherein the composite body is a sealed roof.

11. A method for sealing a substrate, the method comprising:
providing a substrate to be sealed;
providing a first sealing membrane according to claim 1 , the layer of the second adhesive being in contact with a separating film on a side opposite to the side of the polyethylene terephthalate film;
removing the separating film from the sealing membrane; and
bringing the second adhesive of the sealing membrane in contact with the substrate to be sealed.

12. The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:
after brining the second adhesive of the first sealing membrane in contact with the substrate to be sealed, providing a second sealing membrane according to claim 1 ;
applying the second sealing membrane adjacent to the first sealing membrane by bringing the second adhesive of the second sealing membrane in contact with the substrate to be sealed; and
sealing a gap between the first sealing membrane and the second sealing membrane by connecting the polyvinyl chloride-containing film of the first sealing membrane and the polyvinyl chloride-containing film of the second sealing membrane to each other by means of a PVC strip.

13. A method of sealing a substrate, the method comprising:
sealing a substrate by applying the sealing membrane according to claim 1 .
