Sealing tape RubberElast 25x19(4.4m long)

RubberElast® is an elastic—plastic tape for sealing joints, which serves to seal joints of reinforced concrete structures.BasicElast® is applied to the joint directly from the roll with a protective layer up and pressed tightly along the entire length. Before pressing, the sealing tape in the corners must be bent to the desired shape. To lengthen the RubberElast® tape, cut the ends at an angle (from 30° to 45°) so that they are connected on top of each other after pressing, without increasing the cross-section of the tape at the junction. For cutting, we recommend a sharp knife (the knife should cut, not press). Before installing the next element, remove the protective strip and make sure that the sealing tape is secured in the desired position securely and without displacement. Immediately after that, press the next part to the sealing tape in the joint area for gluing. For weak water pressure (for example, accumulating infiltration water), compression of the sealing tape by about 60% is sufficient. To achieve the full sealing effect of RubberElast®, it is necessary to ensure compression of the sealing tape during installation at each joint point by 70-90% of its original height. The joint can be checked for tightness and exposed to water immediately after assembly.

Features:

• Ease of use 
• Installation does not require auxiliary tools and tools 
• Water resistance immediately after installation 
• Flexibility even at low temperatures 
• Weather resistance 
• Resistance to dilute acids (HCl, H2SO4), alkalis (NaOH, KOH) and salt solutions (NaCl)
• Compatibility with other Elast products Application areas 
• For sealing joints of reinforced concrete structures 
• For use in temperate and warm climates

Surface preparation:

The surface must be strong and stable, free of dust, grease, oils and other materials that impair adhesion. The surface must be dry during installation. For complex surfaces, we recommend additionally using RubberElast® primer. In case of doubt, it is recommended to conduct a preliminary test.

Instructions:

Please note (in particular, this applies to seams located horizontally) that the RubberElast® tape is sealing and is NOT used for load transfer — if necessary, the latter should be provided with other appropriate measures. In order to avoid the destruction of the sealing tape, the seam width should not be less than 2 mm in any place and at any time. RubberElast® requires a greater compression force than the product of the same RubberElast® series. This should be taken into account if RubberElast® is used together with the BTSpannschloss® lock.

Not suitable for use conditions involving contact with oils or organic solvents (gasoline, diesel fuel).

At low temperatures, installation can be facilitated by storing the RubberElast® material in a warm room (at room temperature) until the moment of installation.

For even greater ease of installation, the surface of the part can be additionally heated in the joint area.
