  • the thickness of a body provides for a visual indicator of the appropriate thickness of liquid flashing composition to be applied to obtain a waterproof barrier. Further, this feature provides for a way to prevent excess liquid flash composition from being applied in accordance with the desire to reduce the amount of liquid flashing composition required during installation of the flashing composite.
  • the precursor flashing composite can be formed through a variety of techniques that generally include applied a liquid flashing composition to a fabric.
  • the pre-cured bodies can first be formed (e.g. within a mold) and then secured to the fabric.
  • the fabric is placed into a contact with a template or form and then the liquid flashing composition is applied to the fabric in a manner that allows the form to dictate the shape of the cured body.
  • the form or template may be formed using masking techniques.
  • a mask is placed on a first major surface of the fabric component (or otherwise some means of allowing the liquid flashing to be applied in a pattern).
  • the formed precursor flashing composite may be further processed to optionally attach adhesives with release liners used during installation of the precursor flashing composite. Additionally, the formed precursor flashing composite may be packed as a flat pack or rolled according to storage needs. [0078] Various modifications and alterations that do not depart from the scope and spirit of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art. This invention is not to be duly limited to the illustrative embodiments set forth herein.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un composite précurseur d'une bande d'étanchéité comprenant (i) un composant de tissu ayant une première surface plane et une seconde surface plane ; (ii) un premier corps pré-durci disposé sur une première partie de la première surface plane du composant de tissu, le premier corps pré-durci ayant une première forme géométrique ; (iii) un second corps pré-durci disposé sur une seconde partie de la première surface plane du composant de tissu, le second corps pré-durci ayant une seconde forme géométrique ; et (iv) ledit premier corps pré-durci étant positionné par rapport au second corps pré-durci pour obtenir une région charnière entre le premier corps pré-durci et le second corps pré-durci.
