Abstract:
A latex emulsion may include an aqueous carrier liquid and a latex copolymer formed from reactants comprising butyl methacrylate, wherein the reactants include at least 20 wt. % butyl methacrylate, based on the total weight of ethylenically unsaturated monomers used to make the latex copolymer. A coating formed from the latex emulsion exhibits a wet adhesion to a thermoplastic polyolefin roofing membrane of greater than about 1 pound per linear inch when tested using fabric embedded peel adhesion testing per ASTM C794. The latex emulsion may be used as part of an aqueous coating composition or a roofing system including a polymeric roofing membrane.

Claim (Index 15):
A roofing system comprising:\n a polymeric roofing membrane; and a coating on a surface of the polymeric roofing membrane, wherein the coating is formed from a composition comprising:\n an aqueous carrier liquid; and \n a latex copolymer formed from reactants comprising a vinyl monomer having an alkyl group including between 2 and 20 carbon atoms, wherein the reactants comprise at least 20 wt. % of the vinyl monomer having an alkyl group including between 2 and 12 carbon atoms, based on the total weight of ethylenically unsaturated monomers used to make the latex copolymer, and wherein a homopolymer formed from the vinyl monomer exhibits a glass transition temperature of between about \u221210\u00b0 C. and about 30\u00b0 C.; \n wherein a coating formed from the coating composition exhibits a wet adhesion to a thermoplastic polyolefin roofing membrane of greater than about 1 pounds per linear inch when tested using fabric embedded peel adhesion testing per ASTM D903 at a coverage of about 80 ft 2 /gallon.
