A method for nano-depth surface activation of a PTFE-based membrane and relates to the technical field of polymer composites is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: covering a functional surface of a PTFE-based nano functional composite membrane, performing surface activation treatment on a single surface of the membrane to which a bonding adhesive is applied, and migrating and complexing a high-toughness cold bonding adhesive tape on the membrane surface, with an activated structure layer, of the PTFE-based nano functional composite membrane through a mechanical adhesive applying device to form an adhesive-membrane complex. An extremely strong affinity and a high-strength bonding performance are generated between the membrane and the adhesive, and the adhesive-membrane complex is formed. Integration of membrane/adhesive bonding complexing, membrane/membrane bonding complexing and membrane/adhesive layer bonding is realized.

The invention relates to a foil tape (10) for sealing joints between structural elements (30, 31) which are joined to one another, for example in house-building between masonry and a door or window jamb, wherein the foil tape (10) has a functional membrane (1), a textile (4) joined, preferably all-over, to the functional membrane (1) on a top side or an underside, and at least in certain areas an adhesive layer (2) applied in certain areas to that side of the membrane (1) which is averted from the textile (4), wherein the foil tape (10) is folded to produce a folded body (20), so that sections of the textile (4) lie on top of one another at least in certain areas, the sections of the textile (4) lying on top of one another being welded to one another partially and in particular in a punctiform pattern by supplying energy to the folded body (20).

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an adhesive formulation comprising a high viscosity silyl modified polymer. In some embodiments, the adhesive formulation may further comprise additional components, such as but not limited to, at least one moisture scavenger, at least one adhesion promoter, at least one catalyst, at least one filler, at least one plasticizer, at least one antioxidant, or any combination thereof.

A universal barrier system includes universal barrier components that may be assembled together to shield floors and walls from moisture and provide a thermal break in an operational area of the universal barrier component. A lap zone of the universal barrier component may allow universal barrier components to be assembled and installed to protect floors, walls, ceilings, footings and the like from moisture and heat gain or loss by minimizing the need for tapes and other joining methods. The universal barrier system may also act as a sound deadening material. The operational area and lap zone of the universal barrier component may be disposed on a vapor block layer to provide some rigidity. The operational area of the universal barrier component may include a thermal break disposed upon the vapor block layer. The thermal break may include an outer protective layer. In addition, universal barrier tape and universal barrier edging may be provided to couple adjoining universal barrier components.
