Abstract:
A method and apparatus for making a water drainage-promoting wrap for applications such as housewrap and roofing underlayment. A substrate, which may be breathable or non-breathable, is conveyed through a nip between a rotating sleeve and a roll, the sleeve having a plurality of apertures therein. A fluid resin composition is fed into the sleeve and is fed out through the apertures in the sleeve as it rotates and as the substrate moves through the nip, forming spaced-apart spacer elements on a face of the substrate. The spacer elements are then dried or cured.

Claim (Index 16):
A water drainage-promoting wrap comprising:\n a substrate having a first face, a second face, and a plurality of spaced-apart spacer elements on one of the first face and the second face; wherein the substrate is a membrane permeable to water vapor and substantially impermeable to liquid water and to air; wherein the spacer elements have a height of 0.5 mm or greater, a Shore A hardness greater than 90, and a tensile elongation less than 50%; wherein the spacer elements are configured to define a gap between one of the first face and the second face of the substrate and an exterior sheathing applied over the water drainage-promoting wrap for the drainage of water.
