Claims
- 1. A pressure-sensitive, adhesive roofing tape for use in forming water-tight field joints in roofing membranes, consisting essentially of, in approximate weight percent:
- 10 to 35% brominated isoprene isobutylene copolymer;
- 5 to 25% ethylene propylene diene terpolymer;
- 1 to 10% styrene ethylene butylene block terpolymer;
- 35 to 55% polyisobutylene plasticizer;
- 2 to 20% thermoplastic phenolic resin tackifier;
- 2 to 20% thermoplastic non-phenolic hydrocarbon resin tackifier;
- 2 to 1.2% peroxide curing agent and up to 10% filler.
- 2. The invention recited in claim 1, wherein said filler is carbon black.
- 3. The invention recited in claim 1, wherein said peroxide curing agent is dicumyl peroxide.
- 4. The invention recited in claim 1, wherein said brominated isoprene isobutylene copolymer comprises from about 11 to about 29 percent by weight of said tape; said ethylene propylene diene terpolymer comprises from about 6 to about 22 percent by weight of said tape; said styrene ethylene butylene block terpolymer comprises from about 1.0 to about 8 percent by weight of said tape; said plasticizer comprises from about 40 to about 50 percent by weight of said tape; said thermoplastic phenolic resin tackifier comprises from about 11 to about 15 percent by weight of said tape; said thermoplastic non-phenolic hydrocarbon resin tackifier comprises from about 3 to about percent by weight of said tape; and said peroxide curing agent comprise 15 from about 0.3 to about 0.5 percent by weight of said tape.
- 5. A pressure-sensitive, adhesive roofing tape for use in forming water-tight joints in membranes, consisting essentially of:
- from about 11 to about 29 percent by weight halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer;
- from about 6 to about 22 percent by weight ethylene propylene diene terpolymer;
- from about 1 to about 8 percent by weight styrene ethylene butylene block terpolymer;
- from about 40 to about 50 percent by weight plasticizer;
- from about 12 to about 30 percent by weight tackifier;
- from about 0.3 to about 0.5 percent by weight peroxide curing agent, wherein said halogen of said halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer is effective in protecting the isoprene groups of said halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer to reduce the rate of breakdown by said peroxide curing agent by making cross-linking the predominant reaction, and wherein said peroxide curing agent has the capacity to depolymerize said plasticizer and said halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer and is effective to depolymerize said plasticizer at a rate more rapid than the rate of depolymerization of said halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer by said peroxide curing agent;
- and up to about 10% by weight filler.
- 6. The invention recited in claim 5, wherein said filler is carbon black.
- 7. The invention recited in claim 5, wherein said peroxide cursing agent is dicumyl peroxide.
- 8. The invention recited in claim 5, wherein said tackifier includes thermoplastic phenolic resin tackifier.
- 9. The invention recited in claim 5, wherein said tackifier includes thermoplastic non-phenolic hydrocarbon resin tackifier.
- 10. The invention recited in claim 6, wherein said carbon black constitutes from about 1% to about 8% of said tape.
- 11. The invention recited in claim 5, wherein said tape includes a silicone coated release liner.
- 12. The invention recited in claim 11, wherein said tape is in roll form.
- 13. A pressure-sensitive adhesive roofing tape for use in forming water-tight field joints in roofing membranes, comprising, in approximate weight percent: 10 to 35% brominated isoprene isobutylene copolymer; 5 to 25% ethylene propylene diene terpolymer; 1 to 10% styrene ethylene butylene block terpolymer; 35 to 55% polyisobutylene plasticizer; 2 to 20% thermoplastic phenolic resin tackifier; 2 to 20% thermoplastic non-phenolic hydrocarbon resin tackifier; 0.2 to 1.2% peroxide curing agent and up to 10% filler.
- 14. A pressure-sensitive, adhesive roofing tape for use in forming water-tight joints in membranes, comprising:
- from about 11 to about 29 percent by weight halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer;
- from about 6 to about 22 percent by weight ethylene propylene diene terpolymer;
- from about 1 to about 8 percent by weight styrene ethylene butylene block terpolymer;
- from about 40 to about 50 percent by weight plasticizer;
- from about 12 to about 30 percent by weight tackifier;
- from about 0.3 to about 0.5 percent by weight peroxide curing agent, wherein said halogen of said halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer is effective in protecting the isoprene groups of said halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer to reduce the rate of breakdown by said peroxide curing agent by making cross-linking the predominant reaction, and wherein said peroxide curing agent has the capacity to depolymerize said plasticizer and said halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer and is effective to depolymerize said plasticizer at a rate more rapid than the rate of depolymerization of said halogenated isoprene isobutylene copolymer by said peroxide curing agent;
- and up to about 10% by weight filler.
