DESCRIPTION

A high performance strip sealant which is ideal for use where extra strength and adhesive characteristics are required, for example when joining plastic membranes. Approved for use with potable water. Stock colour white, optional in black.

USES

For high performance side and end lap joint sealing.

JOINT DESIGN

Good joint performance requires good initial contact between the strip and both surfaces of the joint. The cross section of the strip should be selected to accommodate the anticipated movement of the joint.

APPLICATION

Surface preparation: All surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from frost, grease and loose materials.
Priming: Primers are not required for good adhesion to most surfaces.
Application details: Apply directly from the reel onto one surface pressing to give adequate initial adhesion. Remove backing paper and apply other surface on to strip pushing firmly to ensure good contact with full area of strip along length of the joint.
Application temperature range: + 5'C to + 30'C
