OVERVIEW
RANSBUTYLE-TAPE is a premier elastomeric butyl rubber sealant designed to meet the critical requirements of metal buildings. It also meets or exceeds all sealing requirements for window glazing, air conditioning, and refrigeration. RANSBUTYLE-TAPE is extruded on silicone coated paper for easy application. It is produced in many different sizes and lengths to fit all application requirements. The rolls are packaged in water resistant cartons for convenience in job site storage and export.
PROPERTIES/ADVANTAGES
RANSBUTYLE-TAPEoffers many qualities that result in a superior seal, greater longevity, and easier application.
- Greater cohesive strength
- Superior adhesive strength
- Withstands extreme roof temperatures
- Superior low temperature compressibility
- Cold flow resistant
- Resistant to UV light
- Seal not affected by normal movement of building
- Wide service temperature range
- Extensive inventory of standard sizes
- Available in custom sizes and lengths
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The application temperature should be between 15°C to 45°C. Application procedures may vary slightly depending upon site conditions. The general recommended guidelines for the application of the waterproofing system are as follows:
SURFACE PREPARATION: All surfaces to be sealed should be free of dust, dirt, oil, and moisture before applying sealant.
WORKING CONDITIONS: For best results, Apply in dry conditions above 40°F (4°C).
Below 40°F (4°C) atmospheric condensation on surfaces may inhibit adhesion and should be avoided.
APPLICATION: Apply RANSBUTYLE-TAPE to surface directly from roll. Press sealant through the silicone release paper with a smooth, even hand motion. Note: For metal roofing and siding applications, place sealant under the fastener to prevent wind-blown rain from leaking through the fastener holes.
