Material Description:
The three-layer, elastic, waterproofing tape is designed for waterproofing floors with ceramic tiles prone to cracking due to temperature and mechanical deformations.
The waterproofing tape consists of one layer of thermoplastic polymer tape and two layers of non-woven fabric.
Overall, the waterproofing tape is an essential element of waterproofing to protect joints, seams, and cracks in buildings and structures from water penetration.
Advantages waterproofing:
- The three-layer structure of the elastic tape provides high resistance to various temperature and mechanical deformations, allowing its use in different conditions and climatic zones.
- The thermoplastic layer is the main element of the waterproofing tape, providing reliable protection against water and other liquids.
- Two layers of non-woven fabric on both sides of the thermoplastic tape provide additional strength and resistance to mechanical damage during installation and operation, as well as ensuring increased adhesion to the substrate.
- The elastic properties of the tape allow it to adapt to different shapes and sizes of structures, providing reliable protection against moisture and liquids in any conditions.
- The waterproofing tape can be applied to the surface using mineral adhesive.
Application Areas:
- Balconies and terraces;
- Pools;
- Flat roofs in use;
- Heated floors in bathrooms;
- Sanitary and technical premises;
- Industrial structures;
- Refrigeration chambers and warehouses.
Waterproofing Execution Recommendations:
Before installing the waterproofing tape, it is necessary to prepare the base to ensure the best quality adhesion and prevent future tape damage. For this, the base surface should be strong to ensure tape resistance to any mechanical impacts. It is also important for the surface to be clean to avoid uneven distribution of adhesive and any contaminants that may cause weak adhesion. Finally, the surface should be rough to ensure better adhesion between the adhesive and the substrate.
Cleaning the base before installing the waterproofing tape can be done using manual equipment. Mechanized means such as water jet installations or vacuum cleaners can also be used.
For manual cleaning, brushes with soft bristles or spatulas can be used to remove dirt and dust. If there are oily stains on the base surface, special solvents can be used to remove the dirt.
Water jet installations help remove dirt and contaminants with a high-pressure water flow. Vacuum cleaners help remove dust and other fine particles that may remain on the surface.
Regardless of the cleaning method you use, after cleaning, the surface should be rinsed and allowed to dry before installing the waterproofing tape.
To ensure maximum effectiveness of the waterproofing tape, it is recommended to apply high-quality acrylic primer to the surface before its installation.
The primer helps improve adhesion between the adhesive and the base. It is recommended to evenly distribute the primer and ensure full coverage of the base surface.
The primer should be allowed to dry completely (usually from 4 to 24 hours depending on weather conditions and the type of primer) before installing the waterproofing tape.
The waterproofing tape should be installed according to the manufacturer's requirements. Typically, the tape is glued to the base surface using special mineral-based adhesive.
During installation, it is necessary to follow the technology rules to avoid wrinkles, air bubbles, or disruption of adhesive bonding. Various tools such as rollers or spatulas can be used for this purpose.
After installation, the tape should be checked for damage and the tightness of the adhesive joint. If defects are found, they should be corrected before continuing the work.
Finally, the tape should be protected from possible mechanical damage and direct sunlight, especially during work on the surface. Protective materials such as film or foam can be used for this purpose. Sharp objects or any materials that may damage the waterproofing should also be kept away from the tape surface.
By following all these recommendations and adhering to the technology rules, maximum efficiency of the waterproofing tape can be ensured, protecting the building from moisture penetration.
Storage:
The warranty period of storage is 18 months at temperatures ranging from -30 to +50°C in a dry place and in the undamaged factory packaging without direct exposure to ultraviolet light.
Safety measures:
- During the installation of the waterproofing tape, it is necessary to observe the following safety measures:
- Ensure safety at the workplace. Make sure the workplace is clean, empty, and free from hazardous materials. Install barriers and safety signs where necessary.
- Use appropriate protection for the eyes and respiratory tract. During the installation of the waterproofing tape, dust, smoke, and other substances may be emitted, which can pose a health risk. Use protective goggles and respirators.
- Avoid working in hazardous conditions. Do not work in hazardous conditions, such as at heights without adequate protection or in confined spaces without sufficient ventilation.
- Use safe tools and equipment. Ensure that the tools and equipment you use are safe for work. Check them before use.
- When working with the waterproofing membrane, adhere to safety rules for working with liquids and chemicals.
- Ensure that the installation of the waterproofing tape complies with all standards and regulations. Adhere to all safety requirements established by relevant organizations and manufacturers.
- Prefer the use of environmentally friendly materials. Ensure that the materials you use are environmentally friendly and do not have a negative impact on the environment.
