Abstract: A oil barrier waterproofing membrane laminate for waterproofing structural surfaces comprises a bituminous rubber adhesive membrane containing oil wherein on one face of the bituminous membrane is a carrier support structure comprising at least three polymeric layers. The carrier comprises an innermost light-absorbing polyethylene film containing carbon black situated closest to the bituminous membrane; an outermost surface layer comprising a light-reflecting polyethylene film containing a light-reflecting pigment; and at least one oil barrier film situated between the light-absorbing and light-reflecting polyethylene films.

Abstract: An exemplary skid-resistant roofing underlayment provides a pressure-sensitive membrane attached to a carrier support sheet having at least two different plastic films, the carrier sheet being corrugated with ridges in the machine direction to provide skid resistance when the underlayment is installed on a sloped roof. Especially preferred are corrugated, cross-laminated composites having a polypropylene or high density polyethylene layer co-extruded with a linear low density polyethylene layer. An exemplary method for making the roofing underlayment involves corrugating at least two different plastic film layers to provide a carrier support sheet for a waterproofing membrane adhesive layer.
