NOVELTY - Perimeter reinforced pliable membrane comprises a pliable membrane comprising a perimeter and an interior portion, where the perimeter of the pliable membrane is reinforced with a supporting substrate and the interior portion does not comprise the supporting substrate.    USE - The pliable membrane is used within a photovoltaic module laminator (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The process for providing perimeter reinforced pliable membrane provides the ability to form elastomeric sheets that can be reinforced about the perimeter, thus preventing tearing of the sheet while in use in, for example, vacuum laminators.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are:    (1) a molded perimeter reinforced pliable membrane comprising a pliable membrane comprising a perimeter and interior portions, where the perimeter of the pliable membrane is reinforced with a supporting substrate and the interior portion does not comprise the supporting substrate;    (2) a process to provide a perimeter reinforced pliable membrane comprising: (a) processing an elastomer (2), optionally with an additive to form a fist mixture; (b) contacting the first mixture with a fiber supporting substrate to form a supported sheet where a portion of the mixture is integrally enjoined within or about individual fibers of the supporting substrate to provide a reinforced material; (c) sizing the reinforced material to a dimension suitable to cover an edge zone of a laminator or other pressure membrane device; (d) processing an elastomer, optionally with an additive to form a second mixture; (e) processing the second mixture into a sheet; (f) layering of the reinforced material (1) about the perimeter of the sheet to provide an uncured perimeter reinforced pliable membrane; and (g) mold processing the uncured perimeter reinforced pliable membrane to form a perimeter reinforced pliable membrane; or a process to provide a seamless pliable membrane comprising: (a) processing an elastomer, optionally with an additive to form a first mixture; (b) processing the first mixture into an uncured sheet; (c) processing an elastomer, optionally with an additive to form a second mixture; (e) processing the second mixture into an uncured sheet; and (f) mold processing and curing the first and second uncured sheets to each other to form a seamless pliable membrane; or a process to provide a perimeter reinforced seamless pliable membrane comprising: (a) processing an elastomer, optionally with an additive to form a first mixture; (b) processing the first mixture into a first uncured sheet; (c) processing an elastomer, optionally with an additive to form a second mixture; (d) processing the second mixture into a second uncured sheet; (e) placing an edge of the first and second uncured sheets in contact with each other to form an intermediate uncured sheet; (f) placing a reinforcement material about the perimeter of the intermediate uncured sheet; and (g) mold processing and curing the first and second uncured sheets of the intermediate uncured sheet to each other to form a seamless pliable membrane; and    (3) a molded pliable membrane comprising a pliable membrane comprising a perimeter and an interior portion, where the pliable membrane is a size of at least about 2 meters by 3 meters; or a molded seamless pliable membrane comprising a pliable membrane comprising a perimeter and an interior portions, where the molded seamless pliable membrane is constructed of at least two sheets of uncured membrane material, that when cured to each other, form the molded seamless pliable membrane of a size of at least about 2 meters by 3 meters.
