Inside: Airtight bonding of vapour check and airtightness membrane as well as airtight wood-based panels.
Outside: Airtight bonding of roof-mounted vapour check and refurbishment vapour check and airtightness membrane. Windproofing of sarking membrane, roof lining membrane and wall lining membrane (e.g. pro clima SOLITEX). Wind-proof bonding of wood-based panels used as sarking boards.
All bonding, indoor and outdoor, can be between the same material as well as with adjacent structural components with a smooth, non-mineral surface (e.g. pipe penetrations, roof windows).
Substrate - Before sticking, subsurfaces should be brushed off or wiped clean with a cloth. Adhesion to frozen surfaces is not possible. The substrate material must be free of water-repellent substances (e.g. grease or silicone). Subsurfaces must be sufficiently dry and have sufficient load-bearing capacity.
A permanent bond is achieved on all pro clima indoor and outdoor membranes, other vapour retarder and airtightness membranes (e.g. PE, PA, PP and aluminium foil) as well as roof and wall lining membranes (e.g. PP and PET).
Adhesion and joints can be carried out on planed and painted wood, hard plastics and metal (e.g. pipes, windows etc.), hard wood-based panels (chipboard, OSB and plywood panels, MDF board and softwood fibre sub-roof panels).Wood fibre sub-roof panels require pre-treatment with TESCON PRIMER RP before bonding.
The best results in terms of structural stability are obtained on high-quality subsurfaces.
It is your responsibility to check the suitability of the subsurface; adhesion tests are recommended in certain cases.
Limiting factors
The bonds should not be subjected to tensile strain.
After sealing the vapour retarding membranes, the weight of the insulating material must be borne by lathing.
Adhesion should be supported by battens if necessary.
Press firmly to secure the adhesive tape. Ensure there is sufficient back-pressure. Windproof, airtight or rainproof seals can only be achieved on vapour retarding membranes, roof lining membranes or façade membranes that have been laid without folds or creases.
Ventilate regularly to prevent build-up of excessive humidity and use a dryer if necessary.
