DESCRIPTION

CEMIX RUBBERGUARD PEEL & SEAL TAPE is a multi-purpose self adhesive tape designed for flashing and sealing a variety of surfaces. The outstanding adhesion and waterproof properties enables high quality sealing over a range of non-porous surfaces. Suitable for use over internal and external surfaces, CEMIX RUBBERGUARD PEEL & SEAL TAPE displays a high degree of tear and rupture resistance, withstanding flexing and vibration on many building substrates. CEMIX RUBBERGUARD PEEL & SEAL TAPE provides an instant seal to the surface it is applied to, avoiding down time for drying or curing. Ideally suited for roofing, flashing and repair applications, CEMIX RUBBERGUARD PEEL & SEAL TAPE is versatile for numerous applications. Designed to be finished over with Cemix membranes, adhesives, membranes, coatings, mortars and renders.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS & USES

Sealing roof sheet joints
Sealing joints between structural floor sheeting on decks and balconies
Flashing metal surfaces
Patching pin holes on roofing and gutter surfaces
Sealing and detailing over plumbing pipes, PVC penetrations etc
Waterproofing junctions before tiling
Sealing and detailing external lightweight sheeting abutments before rendering & texturing
Crack repairs on floors before tiling, screeds and toppings

ADVANTAGES

Ease of application
No primer required (see substrate preparation)
Excellent adhesive properties over metals, plastics, glazed surfaces and dense surfaces
Outstanding adhesion retention at low temperatures
Instant sealing properties, no drying required
Rupture and tear resistant
Solvent free and non-toxic
Ability to cover over Cemix membranes and adhesives
Compatible with cement based finishes. E.g. tile adhesives, renders and texture

SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Ensure the surface is clean, free of dust, loose foreign matter and debris. Surfaces must be free of oil, wax or grease residues. Wiping over with alcohol based cleaner is recommended so optimum adhesion can be achieved. If applying over dusty concrete, masonry surfaces, prime first with Cemix primer to stabilise surface.

APPLICATION

Unroll the CEMIX RUBBERGUARD PEEL & SEAL TAPE and measure the required length. Cut the tape using scissors or a sharp cutter knife. Place roll over the area to be sealed and while slowly unwinding, remove release paper and position the tacky side directly over the area to be sealed. For best results, remove release paper as the tape is being unrolled and adhered into position. It is not recommended to remove total length of release paper before adhering into position. Press tape into position with a spatula, roller, or cloth, ensuring air pockets and creases are pushed out and removed. Finishes can be applied immediately after the tape is in place. It is recommended to apply one of the Cemix membranes waterproofing CEMIX RUBBERGUARD PEEL & SEAL TAPE directly over the tape surface.
