Exterior EPDM film

The EPDM film is an elasticated elastomer membrane made of EPDM rubber. 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 but permeable to water vapour


• Highly elastic


• Outstanding resistance to UV and weathering


• Extreme temperature resistance


• Shelf life 'unlimited' at +5 °C to +25 °C

Design:

Without self-adhesive strips

Advice:

(Several application methods exist in practice)

1. Cut the RECA EPDM film to the desired length.
2. Bond the surfaces to be bonded with EPDM film adhesive (art. no.: 0898 800 010) by applying the film adhesive to the base material in a bead of approx. 5 mm without interruption.
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.
