  • Publication number: 20040258904
    Abstract: The invention provides a moisture permeable hot melt adhesive sheet or tape capable of sealing a seam of a water-proof treated cloth while maintaining moisture permeability of the seam of a moisture permeable water-proof cloth. A substrate of a resin film having moisture permeability and water resistance is laminated with a resin film having moisture permeability and hot melt adhesive property to provide a water pressure resistance of 2,000 mm water head or larger by a static water pressure method in JIS 1092, a seam sealing property without water leakage under a pressurization with a water pressure of 2,000 mm water head for 1 minute, and a moisture permeability of 2,000 g/m2·24 H or higher in a method A-1 defined in JIS 1099.

  • Patent number: 5520998
    Abstract: The present invention provides a highly water-pressure-resistant and highly moisture-permeable waterproof sheet comprising a fabric and a wet coagulated polyurethane film thereon, a organophilic clay complex prepared by introducing a quaternary ammonium ion into the interlayers of a expandable phillosilicate being dispersed into the wet coagulated polyurethane film in an amount of 0.5 to 20% by weight based on the solid component of the polyurethane, and the waterproof sheet having a water pressure resistance of at least 5,000 mm and a moisture permeability of at least 8,000 g/m.sup.2.24 hr. The waterproof sheet is prepared by a process comprising dissolving a polyurethane in a solvent containing mainly a nitrogen-containing polar solvent, dispersing a organophilic clay complex which is prepared by introducing a quaternary ammonium ion into the interlayers of a expandable phillosilicate into the polyurethane-containing solution in an amount of 0.
