ROFLEX
Sealing grommet for pipes, for interior and exterior use
Advantages
- Keeps building structures dry: quick and simple sealing
- Reliable joints thanks to TESCON VANA or TESCON INVIS with water-resistant SOLID adhesive
- Reliable even in hot environments: EPDM stable at temperatures up to 150 °C (300 °F)
- Practical handling: pipes can be pushed and pulled through the grommet – the joint remains sealed
- Extremely flexible and elastic, no protruding sleeve
- Construction in adherence with standards: for airtight sealing in accordance with DIN 4108-7, SIA 180 and RE 2020
- Excellent values in hazardous substance testing, has been tested according to the ISO 16000 evaluation scheme
Areas of application
For rapid and permanent airtight feedthroughs for pipes through the airtight sealing layer. Can also be used outdoors, e.g. on roof underlays and for retrofit vapour control membranes.
Tape with TESCON VANA or TESCON INVIS.
Installation instructions

General conditions
The adhesive bonds should not be subjected to tensile strain. 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 control membranes, roofing underlays or breather (WRB) membranes that have been laid without folds or creases. Ventilate continuously and systematically to prevent the build-up of excessive humidity; use a dryer if necessary.
Substrate
Clean subsurfaces before sticking. Adhesion to frozen surfaces is not possible. There must be no water-repellent substances (e.g. grease or silicone) on surfaces where adhesives are to be applied. Subsurfaces must be sufficiently dry and stable; if necessary, subsurfaces should be stabilised or renewed.
Permanent adhesion is achieved on all pro clima internal and external membranes, other vapour control and airtight membranes (e.g. those made of PE, PA, PP and aluminium) as well as other roof and breather (WRB) membranes (e.g. those made of PP and PET).
Adhesive bonds are possible on planed and painted wood, hard plastics and metal (e.g. pipes, windows etc.), 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. It may be necessary to apply a bead of adhesive sealant – e.g. ORCON F – underneath the tape to achieve reliable seals on rougher surfaces.
The best results in terms of reliability are achieved on high-quality subsurfaces. Particular care is necessary when working with older or multi-layer subsurfaces. It is your responsibility to check the suitability of the subsurface; adhesion tests may be necessary in certain cases. Pre-treatment of the subsurface with TESCON PRIMER will improve the adhesive bond.
