Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of high anti-tearing strength EVA waterproof sheet and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
EVA waterproof sheet is a kind of waterproof, seepage control type barrier material of raw material based on EVA, and dominant mechanism is with plastics
The impermeability of sheet material cuts off leak paths, and the tensile strength bigger with it and elongation percentage bear hydraulic pressure and adaptive deformation.At present,
EVA waterproof sheet most common method is that material carries out melt blending modification, the method letter at single screw extrusion machine through T-shaped die head
Single practical, it is not necessary to particularly expensive equipment, can produce continuously, the response time is shorter.Compared with polyethylene water-proof sheets, by
In its good pliability, caking property, resistance to impact and have preferable lower temperature resistance, environmental stress crack resistance, nontoxic etc.
Advantage, is widely used in the civil engineering industries such as highway, railway, civil buildings.
In China, EVA waterproof sheet is widely used due to its excellent pliability and application property, but traditional E VA is prevented
Water sheet material finds that EVA waterproof sheet product quality cannot ensure during actual production and use, is mainly reflected in product
Transverse and longitudinal mechanical property is uneven, the especially transverse and longitudinal tearing strength of sheet material, and poor with the caking property of base material.EVA flashing
Material is mainly affected by screw speed, extrusion temperature, rate of feeding etc. in extrusion, simultaneously in plasticizing process, and sheet material edge
The most machine-direction oriented degree of processing flow direction to improve, longitudinal strength improves, and causes sheet material cross direction tear strength, and hot strength drops
Low, combination property declines.In order to solve the problems referred to above that EVA exists, researcher is attempted changing heat stretching process, controlling inflation
Than, adjust membrana oralis gap, add the methods such as highly polar material and overcome the relatively low problem of existing thin film tearing toughness.
The Chinese patent of publication number CN203831866U, discloses a kind of EVA composite sheet double-sided self-adhesive waterproof coiled materials, institute
Stating waterproof roll surface layer with bottom is PE protecting film, and described waterproof roll intermediate layer is EVA composite sheet, and described EVA is combined
Sheet material both sides arrange modified pitch self-adhesive glue layer, five-layer structure one-shot forming;Described EVA composite sheet upper and lower surface is provided with
Latticed projection.This patent is started with from configuration aspects, it is intended that improve the intensity of waterproof sheet, especially EVA sheet;Arrange netted
Reinforcement, but, the waterproof roll of this kind of structure, preparation method is relative complex, and arranging of reinforcement must be that ratio is more uniform,
Otherwise, the stress weak spot of sheet material can be formed, easily cause the damage inactivation of whole sheet material;On the other hand, its water resistance takes
Certainly in waterproof ability and the physical property of core layer EVA, the waterproof ability of EVA easily becomes overall structure water resistance and physics
The bottleneck of performance.
Waterproof sheet product of the prior art, physical property and water resistance all need raising further badly.
