TESCON FIX
Mounting bracket strip
Advantages
- Seals angular penetrations in a simple manner
- Creates a clean sticking surface for airtight sealing and for cavity-free insulation
- Well-protected building components on the interior and exterior thanks to water-resistant SOLID adhesive
- Easy to work with: simple to cut to length using a cutter, scissors or saw
- Excellent values in hazardous substance testing, has been tested according to the ISO 16000 evaluation scheme
Areas of application
The mounting bracket strip creates a defined surface for simple and reliable airtight sealing to angular and slightly rounded penetrations, e.g. for exterior use with the DASAPLANO system in the case of rafter penetrations on roof restoration projects. Sealing to difficult subsurfaces – e.g. reconditioned wood – can also be carried out by using TESCON PRIMER.
Penetrations – such as airtight sealing to visible ties in pitched roof areas or to ceiling beams in the case of interior wall insulation across a number of storeys – are easy to implement using TESCON FIX.
Installation instructions
Installation steps
General conditions
The 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 checks, roofing underlays or breather (WRB) membranes that have been laid without folds or creases. Ventilate continuously and systematically to prevent 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.
Permanent adhesion is achieved on all pro clima interior and exterior membranes (vapour check and airtight membranes) and PE, PA, PP and aluminium sheeting for the creation of airtightness.
Adhesion can be carried out on planed and painted wood, hard plastics and hard wood-based panels (chipboard, OSB, plywood panels).
The best results in terms of structural stability are achieved on high-quality subsurfaces. It is your responsibility to check the suitability of the subsurface; adhesion tests may be necessary.
Pre-treatment with TESCON PRIMER is recommended in the case of subsurfaces with insufficient stability and of unplaned wood.
