A composite membrane comprising a layer of rubberized asphalt having a heavy duty plastic film layer continuously bonded to one side and, optionally, a layer of nonwoven geotextile continuously bonded to the other side. The membrane can be used in vertical or horizontal applications, and is particularly useful for its stress-relief properties that resist crack formation and propagation in concrete walls and slabs in addition to serving as a barrier to moisture, toxic substances and insects. An appropriate composite membrane of the invention can be advantageously utilized in positive side, blindside, underslab or split slab applications. The thickness of the composite membrane preferably ranges from about 30 mils to about 150 mils. |

A waterproofing membrane and uses for it. The membrane has a layer of bitumen based material on a sheet of support material, and preferably has a protective layer on the bituminous material to allow the membrane to be easily unrolled if it is shipped in a roll. It is to be installed to a surface by an adhesive coating and can be provided adhered to a board to form a waterproofing panel. The membrane can be used as an adhesive to apply a decorative facade on a wall in addition to being used for sole waterproofing purposes. The decorative facade is applied subsequently to heating the membrane, which volatilizes the protective layer and softens the bituminous layer. To increase the adhesiveness of the membrane, a tackifier such as styrene-isoprene-styrene is blended into the bituminous layer. |

A sound and/or moisture barrier underlayment suited for use on a roof or floor surface to provide a substantially flat and level surface, comprises at least first and second strips of insulation membranes (10) laid down one next to the other in a coplanar relationship. The first and second strips (24, 26) have a thickness W1. An overlap joint (28) is provided between the first and second strips (24, 26). The overlap joint (28) has a thickness W2 substantially equal to or less than W1 to provide a free-bump transition between the first and second strips (24, 26) while preventing straight-through infiltration. |

A bituminous water vapor retarder is disclosed of the type which can be used under concrete slabs in contact with soil or granular fill. The vapor barrier is a multi-ply weather coated permanently bonded semi-flexible bituminous core board composed of the homogeneous high melt point bituminous material in combination with an exclusive core suspended midpoint in the board. This core is sealed under heat and pressure between liners of asphalt and impregnated felt and a glass mat liner. An asphalt weather coat is applied to the glass mat liner and covered with a polyethylene anti-stick sheet. |

An exterior finishing system including a bond-compatible composite membrane having a first self-adhesive material layer and a second rough fabric layer, and its use as an intermediate layer between a building structure substrate and exterior finishing materials is provided. Unlike conventional composite membranes, the bond-compatible composite membrane has a rough surface that allows bonding materials to adhere to it. Therefore, mechanical devices are not needed to attach the exterior finishing materials to the building structure. |

A prefabricated asphalt-based waterproof roofing membrane for use in a multi-ply asphalt-based commercial roofing system, e.g. a cap sheet that forms the exposed layer of a multi-ply built-up roofing system, is manufactured at a factory to have a highly reflective non-asphalt based elastomeric top coating layer with an upper surface that meets current EPA Energy Star requirements. Preferably, a polymer primer layer is interposed between the highly reflective coating layer and an asphalt saturated and coated reinforcing substrate to keep oils and other colored components in the asphalt from exuding into the highly reflective coating layer. |

A sealing sheet (10) assembly bondable to a construction surface comprising (a) an upper layer (14) of a first substance, the upper layer being selected fluid impermeable; and (b) a lower flexible layer (16) of a second substance, the lower flexible layer being bondable to the construction surface. The upper layer and the lower flexible layer are at least partially attached to one another, wherein a combination of the upper layer, the lower layer and the attachment or the partial attachment of the layers to one another are selected such that tensile forces resulting from constructional movements acting upon the sealing sheet result in a local detachment or relative displacement of the upper layer and the lower flexible layer, thereby the ability of the lower flexible layer of transmitting the forces onto the upper layer is remarkably reduced, resulting in improved service of the sealing cover as a whole. The attachment is selected such that a spread of a leakage between the layers via a tear formed in the upper layer is locally restricted. |

A waterproofing membrane is provided which includes a waterproof synthetic resin film presenting opposed first and second surfaces, and an inner bitumen adhesive supported on the first surface of the film. The membrane is manufactured by heating the bitumen adhesive and applying it to a web of the waterproof synthetic resin film. As such, the resulting membrane includes an adhesive possessing a coating temperature at which the adhesive can be applied to the film as a viscous liquid, and a film possessing a still higher transition temperature that permits the film to function as a substrate for the bitumen adhesive during manufacture. |

A modified bitumen sheet material and method for a protective moisture barrier, particularly for masonry surfaces. The sheet material has a bitumen layer modified by the addition of a minor amount of a long-chain polybutadiene-isocyanate urethane polymer and optionally, a modifying amount of a hydrocarbon oil to provide a stable, non-flow and selected tackified surface properties to the bitumen layer. The sheet material includes a releasable casting paper film on one surface of the bitumen layer, to be removed prior to use, and a cross-linked polyethylene film bonded to the other outer surface of the bitumen layer as a handling or moisture barrier sheet. The sheet material is prepared by casting the hot, melted bitumen as a layer onto a casting paper sheet and applying the outer film to the exposed bitumen surface to bond to the top surface. |
