Description
Elevation® Fabric Flashing Tape is a high-performance, flexible, and durable waterproofing tape designed to seal joints, penetrations, and transitions in waterproofing applications. Its adaptable nature allows it to conform tightly to irregular surfaces, ensuring a secure and lasting seal.
Primary Application
- Sealing Dri-Mat™ seams where sections are butted together.
- Securing Dri-Mat™ to the T-Bar (following Flood Test), bridging any gap, preventing concrete from fouling the drainage plane and ensuring long-term waterproofing integrity.
Key Features
- Waterproof seal protects against leaks and moisture infiltration.
- Flexible and conformable to complex shapes and transitions.
- Durable against UV and remains weather-resistant for long-term performance.
- Adhesive backed with removable release liner for quick and easy installation.
Where to Use
- Seams where Dri-Mat™ Drainage Mat butts against itself.
- Seam where Dri-Mat™ butts against the T-Bar.
Product Composition
- Reinforced polyolefin base laminated to a polypropylene layer, adhesive-backed with a removable release liner.
Product Limitations
- Not intended for permanent UV exposure (limit to 90 days).
- Do not apply over contaminated or wet surfaces.
- Ensure adhesion is confirmed before covering with additional materials.
Instructions
General Surface Prep
Ensure the surface is clean, dry and structurally sound. Repair any cracks, spalling, or unstable areas. Remove dust, dirt, oil, grease, and contaminants. Use mechanical methods (grinding, sanding) if needed. Verify moisture levels meet product requirements. Address excessive moisture if necessary. Apply primer as specified and allow it to dry thoroughly. Maintain recommended temperature and humidity. Avoid extreme conditions. Perform a final check to clear debris and confirm the surface meets all preparation guidelines before application.
Installation of Product
Always read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full precautionary instructions before use.
Surface Prep:
- Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of debris before installation.
- Do not apply over loose or weakly bonded materials.
Application:
- For Dri-Mat™ Drainage Membrane: Align tape along the seams and firmly press into place to create a continuous waterproof barrier.
- Where Dri-Mat™ meets T-Bar: Using the tape, straddle where the Dri-Mat™ butts against the T-Bar to ensure a secure transition.
