Storage

Low temperatures do adversely affect this product. Store in temperatures between 60° and 80° F and keep dry.

Preparation of Substrates:
Cleaning any excessively dirty membrane with RUBBERALL ® Membrane Cleaner, otherwise good results can be obtained by wiping the talc off the rubber with a brush or cloth. Membrane should be positioned to allow for proper termination and overlap of adjacent sheets. The membrane must be free of wrinkles and should be allowed to relax for at least 30 minutes prior to application of the adhesive.

Application Instructions – Non-Porous Horizontal Surfaces (isocyanurate insulation) & Vertical Walls:
Apply at temperature of at least 40° F and rising with no chance of freezing in the next 24 hours. Stir well before using. Fold the membrane back on itself so that half of the sheet is exposed. Apply 5-6 mils of adhesive to both surfaces and allow to turn transparent and it is dry to at finger touch. The membrane can then be folded over the insulation or up the wall. Broom or squeegee the membrane surface to insure intimate contact of the membrane to the substrate.

Application Instructions – One Porous Horizontal Surfaces (wood fiber board, gypsum board, plywood and OSB):
Apply at temperature of at least 40° F and rising with no chance of freezing in the next 24 hours. Stir well before using. Fold the membrane back on itself so that half of the sheet is exposed. Apply 10-12 mils of adhesive to the porous substrate only with a roller, sprayer or squeegee. Immediately lay the membrane onto the adhesive while wet. If the adhesive has turned transparent, a thin coat of adhesive must be applied to the membrane. Lamination onto one surface while wet will allow for some repositioning of the membrane prior to the adhesive taking a set. Immediately broom or squeegee the membrane after it is laid onto the adhesive to insure intimate contact.

Coverage Rate:
Coverage rate is approximately 100 – 120 sq ft / gallon, but may vary depending on job condition.

Clean Up:
Water

Safety Precautions:

  1. Avoid prolonged contact with skin.
  2. Use in well ventilated areas.
  3. Do not contaminate with foreign materials
  4. Review Material Safety Data Sheet prior to use.
  5. Cover can when not in use.
  6. When exposed to lower temperatures, restore to room temperature prior to use.
