Sealoflex - Common Usage Issues | Print |

1

I seem to be using more material than specified.


On some surfaces such as concrete which can be uneven the coverage rate will increase, Also on some porous surfaces such as tissue faced insulation the product will be sucked into the surface leading to reduced coverage rates but this can be reduced by appling Sealobond primer at a rate of 0.2 litres per 2. All coverage rates stated are approximate

The Sealoflex is not bonding to my substrate.


Sealoflex bonds to most substrates but it is advisable to check the primer chart to see if a primer is recommended. If the substrate is not easy to identify as in the case of some single plys it is advisable to carry out an adhesion test prior to laying. Always ensure, especially when using CT, that the substrate is dry prior to application as moisture will affect the adhesion.

The Topcoat is not bonding to the Pink.


The topcoat will only not bond to the pink if there is contamination on the surface prior to application. Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying topcoat.

Staining of Sealoflex CT when applied over asphalt.


Sealoflex CT can sometimes show a light brown stain when applied over asphalt or bituminous surface . This will become apparent in the week or so after application and this will fade with time. To avoid this you can try a small test area or prime the whole area with 1 coat of Sealoflex WB Pink at a rate of 0.2 litres per m2 and allow to dry before commencing the CT application. This puts a barrier between the asphalt and the CT . Applying the WB Pink should cut down on the amount of CT Pink used.

The roof still appears to be leaking after the Sealoflex has been applied.


Moisture in the roof space can appear to look like a leak so it is important to check the roof construction before commencing the application. If the insulation is tight against the underside of the roof deck and has no airflow this can cause condensation which can be mistaken for a leak . If the system is applied properly and to our specifications the system cannot leak
