SikaDur-Combiflex Jointing SystemSikaDur-CombiflexThe SikaDur-Combiflex Jointing System consists of a Sika Hypalon Strip and SikaDur 31DWI/Rapidepoxy resin adhesive. Combiflex Hypalon Sheet is a highly elastic, rot-proof and chemicallyresistant sealing sheet with a thickness of 1mm or 2mm. Sikadur 31DWI/Rapid adhesive is epoxyresin based and establishes a strong bond to the substrate.

Vitaseal Expanding Foam Tapes

Vitaseal Expanding Foam TapesVitaseal expanding foam tapes are manufactured using an open cell polyurethane foam heavilyimpregnated with acrylics. When the impregnated foam is compressed, the cells close and at only20% compression provide a complete primary weather seal.The importance of a breathable and weatherproof seal is essential in view of the new proposalsin Part L of the Building Regulations - Conservation of Fuel & Power in dwellings. Vitaseal foamtapes offer a highly effective seal whilst allowing the structure to breathe at the same time.

The unique cell structure and impregnation of the foam allows moisture to evaporate externallyand prevents warm air escaping in this way not affecting the insulation properties required underPart L.

Vitaseal is available as 300kPa (Vitaseal 300) and 600kPa (Vitaseal 600), both tapes provideexcellent sealing properties against weather. The 600kPa product is recommended for use inmore extreme weather applications and is resistant to UV. The 300kPa product is more suitablefor partial weather exposure.

Vitaseal expanding foam tapes are used extensively in roofing, glazing and general building andconstruction applications as a primary weather seal. The expanding foam tapes are used to sealuneven gaps between a variety of structures and surfaces.

Characteristics / Applications include;• Responds continually to expansion andcontraction cycles without failure

• Remains flexible for the duration of its life• Forms a complete primary weather seal• Joints for portable or sectional buildings• Construction• Side/end laps on roofing sheets

• Expansion joints• Perimeter seals for windows and doors• Gutter seals• Abutment seals for conservatories• Perimeter seals for curtain walling• Sealing roof lights• Ductwork

IntufoamA flexible fire resistant seal for all structural joints and gaps.Intufoam is a versatile fire resistant expansion joint, providing a fire stop seal at all movementjoints, at the junction of compartment floors and walls or wherever a cavity barrier is required.The compressible foam core accommodates different joint widths to allow for structuralmovement, Intufoam is faced either side with a flexible intumescent material. In the event of firethis expands to maintain the fire stop seal for up to six hours.

Specification and orderingIntufoam is supplied in 1m lengths. Sufficientend-pieces are included with each order.

OrderingTo order, select the Intufoam thickness byquoting the code number, then state thedepth of seal required.

ExampleTo obtain 2 hour fire resistance for a 30mm wide gap, Ql50 will be required with a 45mmdepth of seal.

This should be stated thus: Ql50/45.

Fire ResistanceThe fire performance rating of Intufoam is determined by the depth of seal. The table below setsout the depth of seal required to obtain specific periods of fire protection.

Admixtures

Adoflow-S Standard Set PlasticiserThe addition of Adoflow-S to an existing concrete mix facilitates up to 25% reduction in addedwater content for a given slump with the resultant marked reduction in water/cement ratioproviding increased strengths.

Alternatively it will increase slump by up to 150% without any increase in water content.Adoflow-S is therefore used to:• Increased strengths without loss of workability, or• Improve workabilility without an increase in water/cement ratio, or• Maintain specified strength with reduced cement content.

The inclusion of Adoflow-S In a well designed concrete mix will also provide:• Easier and speedier placing and compaction.• Minimal segregation and bleeding.• Superior finish.• Reduced shrinkage and minimal cracking.• Increased density and impermeability.

Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Adoflow-A Accelerated Set PlasticiserThe inclusion of Adoflow-A in a concrete mix will accelerate the setting and hardening ofconcrete so that early strength gain is in excess of that obtained even with Rapid HardeningPortland Cement with the increase maintained beyond the 28 day age. This in addition to itsplasticizing action.

Due to these characteristics the inclusion of Adoflow-A in a concrete mix, as well as providing allthe benefits obtained from the use of Adoflow-S Standard Set Plasticiser, will also facilitate:• Development of higher early strengths.• Safer winter concreting without delays.• Earlier stripping and greater re-use of moulds.• Earlier safe handling of Precast Units.

Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Adoflow-ACF Accelerated Chlorine Free PlasticiserAdoflow-ACF is a chloride free accelerating admixture with plasticising properties. It Is thereforeideal for use when it is desired to accelerate the set and rate of strength gain in concrete ininstances where specification or code of practice, such as that for prestressed concrete does notpermit the use of calcium chloride.

The inclusion of Adoflow-ACF in a concrete mix will:• Accelerate initial and final set.• Increase rate of strength gain.• Enable earlier safe handling of precast units.• Enable reduction in water content.• Provide higher early strengths.• Permit earlier release of formwork.• Provide safer winter concreting with delays.• Improve workability.

Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Biolease Eco-Sensitive Biodegradable Release AgentA specially formulated mould release agent designed for use on all types offormwork to give an excellent release and a first class finish. This product is water based, non-flammable and consists of a synthetic oil emulsified in water using a natural surfactant.

Biolease is produced from synthetic oil emulsified using a naturally derived surfactant. It isregarded as biodegradable.

Biolease is non toxic and is therefore safer for the operative than more traditional concreterelease agents.

Biolease will not cause pollution of ground water. Biolease is WRAS/WRc approved.

Available in 25, 210 and 1000 litre sizes.Usage rate: Approx. 20-40m2 per litre.

Adoflow-Extra Super PlasticiserAdoflow Extra is a liquid plasticiser and water reducing agent which imparts extremely highworkability when added to a concrete mix or cementitious grout. Being a highly effectivedeflocculating agent it disperses cement paste into its primary particles increasing flowcharacteristics.Benefits associated with the use of Adoflow Extra include:• Enables concrete to achieve high compaction with minimal or no vibration or tamping.• Increases flow characteristics of concrete to assist with difficult pours.• Permits significant reduction in water content of normal workability concrete with consequentreduction in water/cement ratio to produce higher and early ultimate strengths.

Available in 5, 25 and 210 litre sizes.

Adoflow-R Retarded Set PlasticiserThe Inclusion of Adoflow-R in a concrete mix will provide similar characteristics and benefits tothose provided by Adoflow-A. In addition, it will also reduce the rate of hydration of the cement,to retard initial and final set, as well as reduce the peak temperature resulting from the hydrationprocess, thereby minimizing the risk of cracking. Due to these characteristics the inclusion ofAdoflow-R in a concrete mix, as well as providing all the benefits from the use of Adoflow-SStandard Set Plasticiser will also facilitate:• Longer time available between mixing and placing.• Avoidance of cold joints between pours.• Pours of greater volume with reduced risk of cracking.
