Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of waterproofing of building constructions by using sealing devices comprising a waterproofing layer.
- the invention relates to roofing membranes comprising a waterproofing layer based on plasticized polyvinylchloride having an improved tear resistance.
- roofing membranes used for waterproofing of flat and low-sloped roof structures are typically provided as single-ply or multi-ply membrane systems.
- the roof substrate is covered using a roofing membrane composed of a single waterproofing layer.
- roofing membranes comprising multiple waterproofing layers having similar or different composition are used.
- Single-ply membranes have the advantage of lower production costs compared to the multi-ply membranes, but they are also less resistant to mechanical damages caused by punctures of sharp objects.
- thermoplastics such as plasticized polyvinylchloride (p-PVC), thermoplastic olefins (TPE-O, TPO), and elastomers such as ethylenepropylene diene monomer (EPDM).
- p-PVC plasticized polyvinylchloride
- TPE-O thermoplastic olefins
- EPDM ethylenepropylene diene monomer
- the roofing membranes are typically delivered to a construction site in form of rolls, transferred to the place of installation, unrolled, and adhered to the substrate to be waterproofed.
- the substrate on which the roofing membrane is adhered may be comprised of variety of materials.
- the substrate may, for example, be a concrete, metal, or wood deck, or it may include an insulation board or recover board and/or an existing membrane.
- the plastics used in roofing membranes have a relatively high CO2 footprint due to the petroleum based origin of the raw materials and energy intensive production process. According to a recent study, the greenhouse gas emissions generated across the life cycle of plastics has doubled since 1995, reaching 2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) in 2015 representing 4.5 % of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Increase plastics production in coalbased, newly industrialized countries such as China, India, Indonesia, and South Africa has also been recognized as the main cause of the growing carbon footprint of plastics.
- CCS carbon capture and storage
- Bio-sequestration of carbon i.e. , conversion of CO2 into biomass via photosynthesis, seems to provide an elegant way for sustainable CSS. Furthermore, the biomass could in turn be used for the production of bioenergy or other value-added products.
- Bio based CCS is most easily implemented by trees. However, trees grow relatively slowly and need a large area, since a single tree (e.g. beech tree) requires 80 years capture and store 1 ton of CO2, or 12.5 kg per year. Efficient biological carbon capture is mostly feasible with fast growing plants, such as algae. Consequently, using microalgae has emerged as a promising new approach to provide a versatile and efficient way for biological carbon capture. Particularly, open pond algae growth systems are very easy to implement and can serve to capture CO2 directly at the source, for example, next to a CO2 producing factory. Algae also offer the option for generating raw materials for subsequent use in long living or recyclable products.
- PVC compounds are generally considered to be well suitable for blending with biomass fractions due to their polarity, broad performance and application spectrum, and longevity as well as recyclability of products based on PVC formulations.
- tear resistance is one of the most important features regarding longevity.
- tear resistance describes the resistance of the material against growth of an existing crack. This is insofar relevant since small damages (hail impacts, installation damages etc.) are very common, and the material has to resist growth of such initial damages (“crack seeds”) under stresses (thermal stress, wind load, etc.).

Description
SEALING ELEMENT WITH IMPROVED TEAR RESISTANCE
Technical field
The invention relates to the field of waterproofing of building constructions by using sealing devices comprising a waterproofing layer. Particularly, the invention relates to roofing membranes comprising a waterproofing layer based on plasticized polyvinylchloride having an improved tear resistance.
Background of the invention
In the field of construction polymeric sheets, which are often referred to as membranes, panels, or sheets, are used to protect underground and above ground constructions, such as basements, tunnels, and flat and low-sloped roofs, against penetration water. Waterproofing membranes are applied, for example, to prevent ingress of water through cracks that develop in concrete structures due to building settlement, load deflection, or concrete shrinkage. Roofing membranes used for waterproofing of flat and low-sloped roof structures are typically provided as single-ply or multi-ply membrane systems. In a single-ply system, the roof substrate is covered using a roofing membrane composed of a single waterproofing layer. In multi-ply membrane systems, roofing membranes comprising multiple waterproofing layers having similar or different composition are used. Single-ply membranes have the advantage of lower production costs compared to the multi-ply membranes, but they are also less resistant to mechanical damages caused by punctures of sharp objects.
Commonly used materials for the roofing membranes include plastics, in particular thermoplastics such as plasticized polyvinylchloride (p-PVC), thermoplastic olefins (TPE-O, TPO), and elastomers such as ethylenepropylene diene monomer (EPDM). The roofing membranes are typically delivered to a construction site in form of rolls, transferred to the place of
installation, unrolled, and adhered to the substrate to be waterproofed. The substrate on which the roofing membrane is adhered may be comprised of variety of materials. The substrate may, for example, be a concrete, metal, or wood deck, or it may include an insulation board or recover board and/or an existing membrane.
The plastics used in roofing membranes have a relatively high CO2 footprint due to the petroleum based origin of the raw materials and energy intensive production process. According to a recent study, the greenhouse gas emissions generated across the life cycle of plastics has doubled since 1995, reaching 2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) in 2015 representing 4.5 % of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Increase plastics production in coalbased, newly industrialized countries such as China, India, Indonesia, and South Africa has also been recognized as the main cause of the growing carbon footprint of plastics.
Although several carbon capture and storage (CCS) methods have been proposed, they have turned out to be economically inefficient due to their high energy and/or land use requirements. Current carbon capture concepts are based on physical or chemical absorption, and membrane or cryogenic separation, all of which are very energy intensive and have a low efficiency. The storage of the captured carbon may then be carried out by geological or marine sequestration, both of which are again very cost- and energy intensive and carry some risk regarding the environment
Bio-sequestration of carbon, i.e. , conversion of CO2 into biomass via photosynthesis, seems to provide an elegant way for sustainable CSS. Furthermore, the biomass could in turn be used for the production of bioenergy or other value-added products. Bio based CCS is most easily implemented by trees. However, trees grow relatively slowly and need a large area, since a single tree (e.g. beech tree) requires 80 years capture and store 1 ton of CO2, or 12.5 kg per year.
Efficient biological carbon capture is mostly feasible with fast growing plants, such as algae. Consequently, using microalgae has emerged as a promising new approach to provide a versatile and efficient way for biological carbon capture. Particularly, open pond algae growth systems are very easy to implement and can serve to capture CO2 directly at the source, for example, next to a CO2 producing factory. Algae also offer the option for generating raw materials for subsequent use in long living or recyclable products.
Despite its enormous potential, the production of microalgae for low-value bulk products, such as biofuels or plastics, is currently economically not attractive. Particularly, energy-intensive downstream processing (drying, extraction etc.) far outweighs the ecological benefits obtained through the replacement of fossil fuels and raw materials with renewable alternatives. Thus, in order to achieve economic viability and sustainability, major hurdles in both, the upstream and downstream processes have to be overcome. Furthermore, from sustainability point of view, using the produced biomass for providing long living products should be favored over returning the captured CO2 to the environment by burning for production of bioenergy.
While biofuel or bioplastic extraction from algae is not efficient and requires further processing, direct use of dried algae mass is an attractive option. The use of algae with a plant polymer (starch or protein) in a thermoplastic composition for plastic applications, such as personal care products, agriculture films, containers, building materials, electrical apparatus, and automobile parts has been proposed in EP 2424937 B1 . As another example, an algae derived flexible or rigid foam composition is disclosed US 20170142978 A1.
Generally, it would also be highly desirable to combine the benefits of the carbon capture and storage with increased performance of the product. At least the use of a renewable raw material should not result in deterioration of the application relevant properties of the product. PVC compounds are generally considered to be well suitable for blending with biomass fractions due to their
polarity, broad performance and application spectrum, and longevity as well as recyclability of products based on PVC formulations.
When it comes to roofing membranes made from plasticized PVC, tear resistance is one of the most important features regarding longevity. In contrast to tensile strength, tear resistance describes the resistance of the material against growth of an existing crack. This is insofar relevant since small damages (hail impacts, installation damages etc.) are very common, and the material has to resist growth of such initial damages (“crack seeds”) under stresses (thermal stress, wind load, etc.). No compounding measure to systematically increase the tear resistance of plasticized PVC formulation without affecting other properties is known.
It would thus be desirably to provide a PVC-based sealing element, particularly a roofing membrane, having a lower CO2 footprint and at least equivalent performance compared to State-of-the-Art PVC-sealing elements.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a sealing element, particularly a roofing membrane, having a lowered CO2 footprint and having at least equal mechanical properties when compared to the sealing elements of prior art.
Surprisingly, it has been found that the features of claim 1 achieve this object.
Particularly, it was surprisingly found out that adding dried algae biomass to a plasticized PVC formulation not only results in reduction of the CO2 footprint but that the modified formulations also exhibit improved tear strength. These PVC formulations are especially suitable for use in providing of sealing elements, such as roofing membranes, that due to their application environment are prone to mechanical damages and subsequent crack growth.
Thus, the core of the present invention is related to a sealing element comprising a waterproofing layer comprising: a) 25 - 65 wt.-% of a polyvinylchloride resin, b) 15 - 50 wt.-% of at least one plasticizer, and c) 0 - 30 wt.-% of at least one mineral filler, all proportions being based on the total weight of the waterproofing layer (2), wherein the waterproofing layer (2) further comprises: d) dried algae biomass comprising at least one type of microalgae.
Additional aspects of the present invention are presented in further independent claims. Particularly preferred embodiments are outlined throughout the description and the dependent claims.
