Abstract
Abstract Thermoplastic chlorosulfonated polyethylene fluxed with a minor amount of a plasticized and stabilized vinyl chloride polymer can be calendered with a reinforcing fabric on a standard PVC calender to provide a fabric coated on both sides with the fluxed chlorosulfonated polyethylene-PVC composition to provide a laminate useful as a roofing membrane.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
196 words
A roofing membrane having an intermediate reinforcing fabric layer and an adherent coating on each side of said layer, each of said coatings comprising an unvulcanized compounded composition containing a thermoplastic chlorosulfonated polyethylene and as an alloying or fluxing agent for said chlorosulfonated polyethylene from about 20 to 65 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said chlorosulfonated polyethylene of a plasticized and stabilized vinyl chloride polymer, said composition being free of curing agents and having been prepared by fluxing said chlorosulfonated polyethylene, vinylchloride polymer, plasticizer and stabilizer and compounding ingredients at a temperature of from about 250° F. to 300° F. and said composition having been calendered on each side of said fabric layer to form coatings on said fabric layer at a temperature of from about 270° F. to 320° F., said vinyl chloride polymer being selected from the group consisting of homopolyvinylchloride, vinylchloride-vinyl acetate copolymer containing up to about 50% by weight of vinyl acetate and vinylchloride-vinylidene chloride copolymer containing up to about 50% by weight of vinylidene chloride and mixtures of the same which are porous or non-porous and which are in the form of finely divided particles or solids.
