They have to provide stability and strength when stepped on and may not rip, while at the same time being easy to cut with a knife”. In consequence, the ease of handling during installation also covers the occupational safety aspect during the construction phase. Ridge venting textiles Just like the roof insulating liner textiles, ridge venting membranes have to provide their input to a positive cli- also act as ventilation for the roof, meaning they also must allow vapour diffusion. Ridge venting materials offer at the same time protection against driven snow and splash water, besides being UV stable. The adhe- sive used in the assembly of this structural component must meet the challenge of bonding different materials to aluminium, a substrate not easy to bond.The alumini- um foil undergoes deformation when installed, to adapt therefore needs to have superior strength. Jowat adhe- sives provide sophisticated solutions with excellent green strength, and achieving superior, durable bonds. Forecast increasingly becoming a top priority in planning and im- plementing building projects, heat insulation for roofs is taking up space. The space planned for the ventilation systems in an attic will in consequence be limited. At the same time, construction schedules are constant- ly tightened for economic reasons, which leads to in- creased moisture trapped in the new buildings. The an- swer is more powerful heating systems that can drive out more moisture in a shorter time from the building, provided that an adequate diffusion system was in- stalled. The manufacturers of functional structural tex- tiles are therefore demanding adhesives which create robust material compounds, while at the same time al- The author ® Jaroslav Hellwig, Jowat AG (Applications Manager Industrial Division Automotive | Textile | Electrical) Industry Automotive | Textile | ElectricalA Functional textiles
