  • Conventional rubber mixing can employ a variety of mixing equipment such as Brabender mixers, Banbury mixers, Sigma-blade mixers, two-roll mills, or other mixers suitable for forming viscous, relatively uniform admixtures.

  • some of the ingredients such as fillers, oils, etc. can first be loaded followed by the polymer.

  • Mixing cycles generally range from about 2 to 6 minutes.
  • an incremental procedure can be used whereby the base polymer and part of the fillers are added first with little or no process oil, the cement kiln dust, the remaining fillers and process oil are added in additional increments.
  • part of the EPDM can be added on top of the fillers, plasticizers, etc. This procedure can be further modified by withholding part of the process oil, and then adding it later.
  • two-stage mixing can be employed.
  • the sulfur cure package (sulfur/accelerator) can be added near the end of the mixing cycle and at lower temperatures to prevent premature crosslinking of the EPDM polymer chains.
  • the dry or powdery materials such as the carbon black and non-black mineral fillers (i.e., untreated clay, treated clays, talc, mica, and the like) can be added first, followed by the liquid process oil and finally the polymer (this type of mixing can be referred to as an upside-down mixing technique).

  • the admixture is sheeted to at least 40 mils (0.040-inches), which is the minimum thickness specified in manufacturing standards established by the roofing Council of the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) for non-reinforced EPDM rubber sheets for use in roofing applications.
  • RMA Rubber Manufacturers Association
  • Membranes of one or more embodiments meet the standards of ASTM D4637- 15 (2021).
  • the admixture is sheeted to a thickness of about 45 mils, which is the thickness for a large percentage of “single-ply” roofing membranes used commercially.
  • the sheeting can be visually inspected and cut to the desired length and width dimensions after curing.
  • the membranes of the present invention can be optionally reinforced with scrim. In other embodiments, the membranes are devoid of scrim.
  • reinforcement can be included into the membrane by sandwiching the fabric between two layers of rubber sheet.
  • Each rubber sheet may derive from the same or different vulcanizable compositions. As noted above, at least one of the rubber layers is prepared from the vulcanizable composition including cement kiln dust.
  • the green membrane is then subjected to curing conditions. This can take place using conventional batch procedures where the membrane is rolled and cured in an oven, optionally under pressure, such as is accomplished within an autoclave.
  • the skilled person understands that efforts must be undertaken to ensure that the membrane does not cure to itself when rolled.
  • the green membrane can be dusted (e.g. talc) or rolled with a curing liner prior to curing.

  • the width of the seam can vary depending on the requirements specified by the architect, building contractor, or roofing contractor, and they thus do not constitute a limitation of the present invention.
  • Seams can be joined with conventional adhesives such as, for instance, a butyl-based lap splice adhesive, which is commercially available under the tradename ELEVATE as Elevate Splice Adhesives SA- 1065. Application can be facilitated by spray, brush, swab or other means known in the art.
