Abstract
The present invention describes a one-part moisture-curing liquid-applied waterproofing membrane including a polyurethane polymer and both an aldimine and an oxazolidine as blocked amine hardeners in a specific ratio range. The membrane has a low odor, a long shelf life stability, a low viscosity at low solvent content, a sufficiently long open time to allow hand application and cures fast to a solid elastic material. The liquid-applied waterproofing membrane can be suitable for roofing applications, possessing high strength, high elongation and good durability under outdoor weathering conditions in a broad temperature range.
Claims18
A one-part moisture-curing liquid-applied waterproofing membrane comprising:
- at least one isocyanate-functional polyurethane polymer based on an aliphatic polyisocyanate;
- at least one aldimine of the formula (I),
- wherein
- A is an n-valent hydrocarbyl moiety of molecular weight in the range of 28 to 5000 g/mol optionally containing ether or urethane groups,
- R1 and R2 are the same or different C1 to C12 linear or branched alkyls, or are joined together to form a divalent linear or branched C4 to C12 hydrocarbyl moiety which is part of a 5- to 8-membered carbocyclic ring,
- R3 is hydrogen or a linear or branched C1 to C12 alkyl or arylalkyl or alkoxycarbonyl,
- R4 is a monovalent C6 to C20 hydrocarbyl moiety optionally containing ether, carbonyl or ester groups, and n is from 2 to 6;
- and
- at least one oxazolidine of the formula (II),
- wherein
- B is a m-valent hydrocarbyl moiety of molecular weight in the range of 28 to 2000 g/mol optionally containing ether, ester, amide, carbonate, urethane, or urea groups,
- R5 is selected from hydrogen or C1 to C12 linear or branched alkyl,
- R6 is a C3 branched alkyl, and
- m is 2 or 3;
- wherein the ratio between the number of aldimino groups and the number of oxazolidino groups is in the range of 80/20 to 20/80.
