Description
20~9104 POLYVINYL CHLORIDE MEMlBRANE COMPOSlTION
AND METHOD FOR MAKING A
POLYVINYL CHLORIDE MEMBRANE
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention generally relates to polyvinyl chloride compositions. More particularly, the present invention relates to po~yvinyl chloride compositions useful for l0 making a membrane. Specifically, the present invention relates to polyvinyl chloride membrane compositions having a unique plasticizer system which substantially prevents migration of the plasticizers from the membrane.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
lS It is known in the art to provide roofing membranes formed from a polyvinylchloride (hereinafter "PVC") resin composition. It is also known that the PVC resin should be plasticized in order to render it flexible for its intended purpose. It has been found that commonly used liquid plasticizers in PVC roofing membrane compositions will often migrate from the PVC and into adjacent material layers, such as insulation, 20 backing, coatings or the like. Furthermore, the plasticiær will often migrate to the surface of the membrane where it evaporates or is washed away by the weather. When the plasticiær migrates from the PVC composition, the membrane becomes stiff and is subject to shrinking and cracking.
In thepast, solutions to membrane shrinkage have included, for example, the 25 incorporation of highly elastic polyurethane as the main component in the membrane composition. Unfortunately, polyurethane in such an application is very expensive.
One example of forming a "dimensionally stable" i.e., s~ resistant PVC
membrane composition is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,358,499. The PVC membrane therein is formed by casting and gelling a plastisol layer, casting and gelling a second 30 plastisol layer thereon, and fusing the two layers. The plastisol includes PVC, a plasticizer such as a diaLkyl phtha1ate, an emulsifier, a filler, and heat, processing and UV stabilizers. It has been found, however, that without the complex plastisol casting method of the invention in that patent, PVC membrane compositions which include D-9108061 E~IR.P.US0067 . :: ' ~ . ' ' ' ' .

plasticizers such as phthalate plasticizers, will result in membranes wherein the phthalate migrates out of the PVC, resulting in shrinkage and cracking of the membrane over periods of time.
However, phthalate plasticizers are known to effectively and efficiently 5 plasticize the PVC for roofing membrane applications. Therefore, a nesd exists for a phthalate plasticiæd PVC roofing membrane composition, which possesses an increased resistance to plasticizer migration from the PV~, and which is, therefore, resistant to shrinkage and cracking caused thereby. Also, a useful membrane composition should be highly resistant to ultraviolet light degradation and temperature fluctuation10 degradation.

It is therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a plasticized polyvinyl chloride roofing membrane composition.
15It is another object of the present invention to provide a composition as above, which when employed to form a membrane, is resistant to migration of the plasticizers therein.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a roofing membrane which is resistant to shrinking and cracking.

weathering protection to roofs or the like. Hence, while all membrane applications are within the scope of the invention, the present disclosure will make reference to roofing applications for exemplary purposes only.
Similarly, the present invention has application to a variety of membrane 5 composition polymers. However, PVC resin is the preferred membrane polymer. Anexample of a useful PVC resin is Geon 30 available from B.F. Goodrich. Other PVCresins may also be useful, as will be apparent ~om the discussion to follow.
As noted hereinabove, when properly plasticized, PVC possesses excellent membrane forming characteristics, such as structural integrity and weather resistance.
10 The drawback heretofore has been in regard to the migration of the plasticizer from the PVC after a period of time.
According to the present invention, the PVC resin is plasticized with a phthalate type, liquid plasticizer, such as Palatinol 711P from BASF Wyandotte Corp.
of Parsippany, New Jersey. Palatinol 711P is known to be based upon C7 to Cll 15 alcohols. Liquid phthalate plasticizers are known to effectively plasticize PVC resins in a manner suitable for membrane applications. Other useful phthalate plasticizer include diisodecylphthalate types.
- The composition of the present invention also includes a carbon monoxide/ethylenelvinyl acetate terpolymer plasticizer for the PVC resin. An example 20 of such a terpolymer is Elvaloy 741 from DuPont, which has a molecular weight greater than about 250,000. It has been found, that when the terpolymer is employed in a ratio with the phthalate plasticizer, of from about 1.5 to 2.5:1 to 1, and more preferably at a ratio of about 2:1, the resulting plasticized PVC composition shows improved resistance to plasticizer migration. As will be further exemplified hereinbelow,25 membranes formed from such a composition uill possess resistance to shrinkage and cracking.
When employing a PVC resin such as Geon 30, which is known to have a molecular weight of about 65,000 and an inherent viscosity of 1.02 according to ASTM
D1243, the composition preferably includes from about 30 to about 60 parts by weight 30 of the carbon monoxide/ethylenelvinyl acetate terpolymer, per 100 parts by weight of PVC resin (hereinafter referred to às "phrn). Furthermore, the composition preferably T~TT~ Tl TT~ 0/;7 .. . . . .
.
, " ~ .
.
2~9~0~
includes from about 15 to about 30 phr of the phthalate plasticiær. As will be appreciated by one skilled in the membrane art, when a PVC resin having a different molecular weight is employed, which resin would have a different inherent viscosity, different amounts of the two types of plasticiærs might be employed in order to provide 5 a suitably plasticiæd composition. Such amounts might also vary depending upon the nature of the membrane to be formed. All sueh compositions, having the plasticiær amounts in the prescribed ratios, are within the~scope of the present invention.The carbon monoxide/ethylene/vinyl acetate terpolymer is less stable when exposed to ultraviolet (hereinafter referred to as "UVn) light radiation than most PVC
10 resins. Hence, it has been found that compositions according to the present invention may be provided with UV-protecting filler or pigments. As an example, a useful composition according to the present invention, employing a PVC resin such as Geon 30, includes from about 15 to about 25 phr of titanium dioxide. This provides unexpectedly high UV protection for membranes according to the present invention.

As noted hereinabove, the compositions according to the present invention are useful for forming membranes such as for roofing applications or the like. Any method known in the art for forming membranes or sheeting from plasticized polymer ,- compositions is considered to be within the scope of the present invention.
5For example, the component ingredients can be admixed, utilizing an internal mixer (such as a Banbury mixer), an extruder, and/or a two-roll mill, or other mixer suitable for forming a viscous relatively unifor~ admixture. The resulting admixture is then sheeted to thicknesses ranging preferably from about 5 to 200 mils, and more preferably from about 35 to 100 mils, by conventional sheeting methods, for example, 10milling, calendaring, or extrusion. The sheeting can be cut to desired length and width dimensions at this time.
The present invention has particular application to multi-ply roofing membranes which include a first layer formed from a composition as discussed hereinabove, coated onto a backing layer such as a fabric material. A second layer of 15a membrane according to the present invention may be bonded to the fabric backing material, such that the fabric backing material is sandwiched between two layers of the invention composition.
Preferably, the fabric backing or reinforcing material is a "mesh" type material, such as 62006 from Highland Industries, Inc., of Westwood, New Jersey.20This material is fabricated from a yarn made from polyester filaments, at 1000 denier.
General Experimental In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the present invention in 25accomplishing the objectives thereof, a composition according to the present invention, and containing the ingredients as in Table I listed hereinabove, was tested employing a QW Weatherometer, as manufactured by Q-Panel. The device was run at 70C using UVB-313 bulbs for 8 hrs/50C condensate for four hours, repetitive for 5,000 hours of total exposure. For comparison, similar Weatherometer tests were conducted upon 30commerciatly available roofing membranes including UltraPly 78+ available from the Assignee of record; Fibretite available from Seaman Corp., Sarasota, Florida; Sarnafil n ~1n~n,c1 F~R.P.US0067 .

available from Sarnafil, Inc., Canton, Massachusetts; Trocal SR-60 available from Huls America, Piscataway, New Jersey; and, Genflex available from Gencorp Polymer Products, Toledo, Ohio.
The Weatherometer tests simulated weather conditions and specificaUy, S ultraviolet exposure for the various membranes. The membranes were then examined under magnification for cracking therein. The results of the experiments are listed in Table III hereinbelow.

Thus, it has been shown, that the composition according to the present invention performs as well as the best performing commercial membrane evaluated in this weathering test, and is therefore, clearly useful in forming a membrane composition which is resistant to migration of the plasticizers therein. The membrane is useful, as 5 for example, a roofing membrane, because of its particular resistance to shrinking and cracking, when compared to other commercially avai1able membranes. Also, the present invention has greater resistance to ~IJV induced degradation than many commercially used membrane compositions.
The tests performed herein are for exemplary purposes only and do not 10 necessary limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to these specific polyvinyl chloride resins, terpolymers, or phthalate plasticizers as noted hereinabove. Furthermore, the composition according to the present invention may comprise various other additives and processing aids without departing from the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art may readily 15 select other polymers, plasticizers, and the like according to the disclosure made hereinabove. Similarly, the invention is not necessarily limited to the particular methods of forming a membrane as exemplified hereinabove.
Thus, it is believed that any of the variable disclosed herein can readily be determined and controlled without departing from the scope of the invention herein 20 disclosed and described. Moreover, the scope of the invention shall include all modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the attached claims.

Similarly, the present invention has application to a variety of membrane 5 composition polymers. However, PVC resin is the preferred membrane polymer. Anexample of a useful PVC resin is Geon 30 available from B.F. Goodrich. Other PVCresins may also be useful, as will be apparent ~om the discussion to follow.
As noted hereinabove, when properly plasticized, PVC possesses excellent membrane forming characteristics, such as structural integrity and weather resistance.
10 The drawback heretofore has been in regard to the migration of the plasticizer from the PVC after a period of time.
According to the present invention, the PVC resin is plasticized with a phthalate type, liquid plasticizer, such as Palatinol 711P from BASF Wyandotte Corp.
of Parsippany, New Jersey. Palatinol 711P is known to be based upon C7 to Cll 15 alcohols. Liquid phthalate plasticizers are known to effectively plasticize PVC resins in a manner suitable for membrane applications. Other useful phthalate plasticizer include diisodecylphthalate types.
- The composition of the present invention also includes a carbon monoxide/ethylenelvinyl acetate terpolymer plasticizer for the PVC resin. An example 20 of such a terpolymer is Elvaloy 741 from DuPont, which has a molecular weight greater than about 250,000. It has been found, that when the terpolymer is employed in a ratio with the phthalate plasticizer, of from about 1.5 to 2.5:1 to 1, and more preferably at a ratio of about 2:1, the resulting plasticized PVC composition shows improved resistance to plasticizer migration. As will be further exemplified hereinbelow,25 membranes formed from such a composition uill possess resistance to shrinkage and cracking.
When employing a PVC resin such as Geon 30, which is known to have a molecular weight of about 65,000 and an inherent viscosity of 1.02 according to ASTM
D1243, the composition preferably includes from about 30 to about 60 parts by weight 30 of the carbon monoxide/ethylenelvinyl acetate terpolymer, per 100 parts by weight of PVC resin (hereinafter referred to às "phrn). Furthermore, the composition preferably T~TT~ Tl TT~ 0/;7 .. . . . .
.
, " ~ .
.
2~9~0~
includes from about 15 to about 30 phr of the phthalate plasticiær. As will be appreciated by one skilled in the membrane art, when a PVC resin having a different molecular weight is employed, which resin would have a different inherent viscosity, different amounts of the two types of plasticiærs might be employed in order to provide 5 a suitably plasticiæd composition. Such amounts might also vary depending upon the nature of the membrane to be formed. All sueh compositions, having the plasticiær amounts in the prescribed ratios, are within the~scope of the present invention.The carbon monoxide/ethylene/vinyl acetate terpolymer is less stable when exposed to ultraviolet (hereinafter referred to as "UVn) light radiation than most PVC
10 resins. Hence, it has been found that compositions according to the present invention may be provided with UV-protecting filler or pigments. As an example, a useful composition according to the present invention, employing a PVC resin such as Geon 30, includes from about 15 to about 25 phr of titanium dioxide. This provides unexpectedly high UV protection for membranes according to the present invention.
Compositions according to the invention may also contain other conventional additives, such as processing aids or the like. For example, the compositions may include other fillers such as calcium carbonate; heat stabiliærs such as barium/zinc;
lubricants such as stearic acid; acid acceptors such as epoxidized soybean oil; other W-protectors such as substituted hydroxyphenyl benzotriazole; antioxidants; biocides; anti-20 slipping agents; and the like.
