Corner adhesive tape with separate removable release strips, for interior and exterior use

TESCON PROFIL

Advantages

  • Sticks corners quickly, simply and tidily
  • One product - two applications: release film split approx. 12 | 23 | 25 mm (1/2" | 7/8" | 1")
  • Sticks reliably - even if moisture is present: water-resistant SOLID adhesive
  • Easy to work with: very malleable fleece backing
  • Subsequent work can be started quickly: fleece backing can be plastered over directly
  • Construction in adherence with standards: for airtight sealing in accordance with DIN 4108-7, SIA 180 and RT 2012
  • Excellent values in hazardous substance testing, has been tested according to the ISO 16000 evaluation scheme

Areas of application

Corner sealing of airtightness or windtightness layers, e.g. on windows and doors, as well as other corner joints on structures, indoors or outdoors, including joints between integrated roof and wall elements and roofing underlay/breather (WRB) membranes. Can also be used for sealing to wood-based panels.

Installation instructions

General conditions

Taped joints must not be subjected to tensile forces. Once membranes have been taped, the weight of the insulation material must be supported by laths. Adhesion should be supported by additional laths, if necessary. Rub the adhesive tapes firmly to secure the adhesive bonds. Ensure that there is sufficient resistance pressure.

Windproof, airtight or rainproof sealing can only be achieved on vapour-check or underlay/facade membranes that have been installed without folds or creases. Ventilate continuously and systematically to prevent build-up of excessive humidity; use a dryer if necessary. When plastering, please observe the recommendations of the plaster manufacturer for non-absorbent subsurfaces. A bonding course may be necessary.

Substrate

Clean subsurfaces before applying tape. Adhesion is not possible on frozen surfaces. There must be no water-repellent substances (e.g. grease or silicone) on surfaces to be bonded. Subsurfaces must be sufficiently dry and stable.

Permanent adhesion is achieved on all pro clima interior and exterior membranes, on other vapour-check and airtight membranes (e.g. those made of PE, PA, PP and aluminium) and on other underlay and breather (WRB) membranes (e.g. those made of PP and PET).
Adhesion and taped connections are possible with planed and painted wood, hard plastics and metal (e.g. pipes, windows etc.), rigid foam insulation materials that can be plastered over, and hard wood-based panels (chipboard, OSB, plywood, MDF and wood-fibre underlay panels). Pre-treatment with TESCON PRIMER is required in the case of adhesion to wood-fibre underlay panels or on smooth, mineral subsurfaces. Concrete or plaster subsurfaces must not be sandy or crumbling.

The best results in terms of reliability are achieved on high-quality subsurfaces. It is your responsibility to check the suitability of the subsurface; adhesion tests are recommended in certain cases. Pre-treatment with TESCON PRIMER is recommended in the case of subsurfaces that have insufficient stability.
