Tor - Elastascrim FT - Encapsulant/Sealant (SS6000140) is a non-flammable, semi-elastic, putty-like butyl rubber based strip encapsulant/sealant. Supplied in roll form on siliconised paper release backing for use as a formable pre-coat encapsulant and sealant over roof sheet bolts etc. Also usable as a lap joint gap filler/sealer on sheeted (profile metal, fibre-cement etc) roofs etc.

6 rolls per box.

Roll dimensions: 15 metres (L) x 50mm (W)

Storage and Handling

Store in dry conditions at moderate temperatures (maximum 40oC) in a closed outer wrap. The material has a long storage life but is best used within one year of purchase. Keep out of the reach of children

Surface Preparation

Ensure all fixings and surfaces are sound, clean, dry, oil-free and dust free. Lightly abrade hard coatings and plastics. Mechanically remove corrosion, chalking etc from metal and surrounding surfaces. Treat porous surfaces with a suitable Tor primer/stabilising solution and allow to through-dry before applying Elastascrim FT. Bare metal surfaces should be correctly prepared and primed with suitable materials conducive to the type/condition of the surface and the intended protective system and allowed to through-dry before applying Elastascrim FT. Ensure (by trial application if necessary) that all contact surfaces are suitable for application and adhesion of primers (where applicable) and Elastascrim FT.

Installation

Unroll the tape and cut to the desired length. Encapsulate protrusions (bolts etc ) by placing centrally over the detail then press and mould firmly and tightly into place, working well into small gaps etc and finish smoothly and firmly onto the surrounding surface. For gap filling rework the compound into a “rounded” strip then place and press firmly and as far as possible into the prepared gap. Encapsulate the joint further if necessary using Elastascrim FT (see data sheet SS6000118/120) and relevant coatings to produce a fully waterproofed joint.
