Nottefix INFLATABLE BAND

Description

The product consists of Acrylic, Bentonite, Polymer swelling bands that swell and provide insulation by expanding the volume hydrophilically when in contact with water.

Usage Areas

It is used in all kinds of construction joints, tunnel segment joints, shaft and collectors, pipe transitions, prefabricated structure joints, cable duct joints.

Characteristics

Elastic and resistant to tearing and abrasion.
Resistant to chemicals such as petroleum and oil.
Resistant to seawater, treatment water, sewage water.
Does not contain bentonite.
Resistant to microorganisms.
Usable on all horizontal and vertical surfaces.
Not affected by freezing and thawing.
Does not cause corrosion or oxidation.

Application Method

The surface to be applied should be free from dust, cement particles, oil, paint, curing, and other substances. The presence of rain or water on the surface during the application causes the band to expand prematurely. Hence, the surface must be dry.

Application of Adhesive

Polyurethane, epoxy, or MS polymer-based mastics and adhesives are suitable for bonding acrylic, bentonite, and polymer swelling bands to the surface.
The adhesive should not be fully dried (tack-free) before starting the application.
Adhere a tape to the adhesive when it is half wet.
Nailing can be done on uneven or vertical surfaces if needed.

Acrylic, bentonite, polymer swelling band are placed on the adhesive and in the middle of the application surface.
The band end points are joined by direct splicing or by making 5 cm overlapping at the splices.
