EPDM films exterior with self-adhesive strip

The EPDM film is an elasticated elastomer membrane made of EPDM rubber with self-adhesive as a bonding and assembly aid. It is used for external sealing.

Application area:

The EPDM outer film is 1.2 mm thick and is used to seal the exterior bottom connections of doors and floor-level windows in outer walls and conservatories. It is also used to seal connections in roofs and balconies.
The 0.75 mm thick version of the exterior EPDM film is ideal for the external sealing of construction elements in the façade area and for sealing underneath window sills.

Advantages:

Water-repellent yet permeable to water vapour
Very good elasticity
Outstanding resistance to UV and weathering
Extreme temperature resistance

Design:

With self-adhesive strips

Advice:

(Several application methods are possible in practice)
1. Cut the RECA EPDM film to the desired length.

2. The self-adhesive strip is an assembly aid for fixing the EPDM foil to a window frame, for example, and secured using an EPDM foil adhesive (art. no.: 0898 800 010).
Glue the surfaces to be bonded using EPDM film adhesive by applying the film adhesive to the base material without interruption in an adhesive bead of approx. 5 mm.
Please note: The adhesive properties of EPDM films may vary so it is always advisable to perform tests beforehand.

3. Place the EPDM film on the adhesive layer without applying pressure and then press it carefully, e.g. using a pressure roller (art. no.: 0693 603 002).

The surfaces must be capable of bearing loads and free of oils, greases, dust and dirt. Not suitable for sealing against pressurised water. Cannot be plastered or painted over.
