Use
Hydroduct Tape is recommended
for adhering Hydroduct drainage
composites, expanded
polystyrene protection board or
insulation, or extruded
polystyrene protection board or
insulation to Bituthene
membranes. It may also be used
as additional protection when
forming end laps with Preprufe
membranes. The tape may be
applied down to -4ºC (25
Application Procedures
Safety, Storage and Handling Information
Bituthene products must be
handled properly. Vapors from
solvent-based primers and mastic
are harmful and flammable. For
these products, the best available
information on safe handling,
storage, personal protection,
health and environmental
considerations has been gathered.
Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) are available at
www.graceconstruction.com and
users should acquaint themselves
with this information. Carefully
read detailed precaution
statements on product labels and
the MSDS before use.
Application
Hydroduct drainage composites:
Where Hydroduct drainage
composites are placed
horizontally from rolls onto a
wall, a continuous strip of
Hydroduct tape near the top and
another strip near the bottom is
recommended. If the drainage
composite is cut and applied
vertically in 1.8 to 2.4 m
(6 to 8 ft) lengths, a strip is
recommended near the top,
another near the middle and a
third near the bottom.
On decks, a strip of tape is
recommended at approximately
3 m (10 ft) intervals, or more
frequently in the event of high
wind.
Unroll the tape and adhere the
exposed surfaces to the Bituthene
membrane. Leave the release
sheet on the tape until just before
applying the drainage composite.
The tape and release sheet may be
cut with a utility knife or easily
torn by hand. Peel the release
sheet and apply the drainage
composite. Press the composite
firmly or tap the composite with
a fist to assure good contact.
For deck applications, the tape
may be applied to the back of the
drainage composite rather than to
the Bituthene membrane, if it is
more convenient.
Polystyrene protection board
and insulation:
On walls, apply a strip of tape
near the top and bottom edge of
the board or insulation. If the
board is applied vertically in
lengths of 2.4 m (8 ft) or more,
apply a third strip of tape in the
middle of the board or insulation.
Press panel firmly over the tape
to assure a good bond.
Hydroduct Tape may also be
used to adhere polystyrene board
or insulation in deck applications
in the event of high winds.
