Technical Caracteristics

Polyurethane foam with acrylic impregnation.
 

Advantages and Uses

  • Hermetic sealing of the joints thanks to the foam expansion.
  • Sealing against wind, dust and water splashes
  • Resistant to temperature changes according to DIN 18542 (BG1), tested from -30 ºC to + 90 ºC.
  • Thermal insulation and sound absorber
  • Dimensional tolerance leveling.
  • Water tightness, vapor permeability.
  • UV resistant
     

Application Procedure

  • Cut the end of the tape and progressively remove the protective film while placing the tape on the joint
  • Apply the compressed joint tape with the adhesive part directly on the protruding element, on the outermost part of the insulating panel, without exceeding the thickness of the insulation.
  • Cut the tape at the corners and attach the ends precisely, applying light pressure.
  • Installation of the tape and immediate alignment of the insulating panel is recommended.
  • In the case of mutually perpendicular joints, the tapes have blunt ends.
  • A tight bond can be achieved by leaving one of the tapes approximately 1 cm/m longer than necessary and pressing against the other.
  • The sides of the joint, that is, the walls that define the depth of the joint, must be parallel (with a maximum tolerance of 3°)
  • The support must be cleaned and loose particles and mortar remains removed.
  • Apply the tape at least 2 mm beyond the edge of the joint.
  • If the tape is not inserted into the joint for at least 2 mm can, in some cases, change the tape properties and tightness.
  • The tape must not come into contact with thinners or aggressive chemicals.

Recommendations

  • Once the tape has expanded its use is not recommended.
  • The tape should not be exposed. It must be covered by the coating applied to the panels in a general manner.
  • The tape must not come into contact with thinners or aggressive chemicals.

The information and instructions in this datasheet are based on our current tests and technical knowledge. They are intended as general guidance and do not constitute a binding commitment by PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC. It is the sole responsibility of the user to verify, prior to use, that the product is suitable for the intended application and to ensure that it is applied correctly and in accordance with applicable regulations and good industry practice.

PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC cannot control how its products are applied on site throughout the entire project and therefore cannot accept responsibility for their application by contractors or other parties involved in the execution of the work. Support visits to the jobsite by our technical staff do not change that. Our responsibility is limited exclusively to defects that can be directly attributed to the supplied products, whether used individually or as part of a system, caused by manufacturing defects.

 

It is the responsibility of the project designer, site manager, contractor, or other relevant professionals to ensure that the selected products are appropriate for the specific project, taking into account their properties, the substrate, site conditions, and any existing issues.

In the event of a claim, the original packaging must be provided to ensure proper product traceability.

Any performance values stated for PIDILITEPUMA MEA CHEMICALS LLC products or construction solutions, whether in UNE standards or other applicable standards, are based solely on the specific test conditions defined in those standards (such as substrate type, temperature, and humidity). These values may not apply to situations where products are tested or used under different conditions.
